Enjoy the Ride

If there is anything in this girl's life that refuses to be boring, it's the workplace! I am saddened by the loss of a great VP, but happy that my mentor and friend has found himself a new home. Now if he'd only take me with him!

I've been left behind in a river of chaos. Some days are smooth rides with a few fun rapids tossed in to keep us awake. Most days, however, involve Class IV, V, & VI rapids! Those are the ones you either get out and hike your way around or take the chance of not surviving the fall. These days I never know what river we're rafting, whether I need an innertube to float down the river or a life jacket and a helmet!

I've come to the conclusion that the best thing for me to do is paddle hard and enjoy the ride. I don't know what the workplace future holds for me, but something tells me I'll need a helmet to find out!

It's Been A While...

A lot a has changed for this uninteresting girl... And a lot has stayed the same. I was checking out Facebook yesterday and pondering the double-edged sword of sharing. I absolutely love that I could see pictures if BFF's new baby girl minutes after she was born. I love the ability to share and connect and know the silliest details of our friend's lives. But some days I can't help but look at Facebook and those same moments and comments make me feel like I've been left behind. Like my life is in slo-mo while every one around me has moved on in bigger and better ways.

My life has moved forward and continues to gain momentum everyday. I am getting stronger and more in control, but I feel like I'm not yet where I'm supposed to be. To get there, first I have to figure out where I'm going! So. For now, I hope that journey of discovery is enough to keep me from leaving myself behind in such silly comparisons.
