I Got a Job!

I was hired this week to help coordinate a large Expo.  How exciting to begin something new!  Worry over starting up my old brain was not justified as it seems to be working well, and feels good to be putting some very underutilized skills back to work.  Can't begin to say how many hours I have logged in the past few days and the smile on my face as I crank out the workload is such a pleasant change from my previous day to day.

Then fast forward to tonight...I open my facebook page only to be greeted by the offer to confirm my employment by my employer...never had this happen before and seriously I felt as giddy as a teenager.   Silly how something like becoming an employee again can make someone feel.  It was like I was being recognized again after feeling like a "nobody" for so long.  It is NOT that I feel that stay at home Mom's aren't important because I vehemently disagree with that but in my case...my "stay at home mom" status was long ago used up.  Seriously my "baby" turned 21 this year!!

So my journey takes yet another twist and I could not be happier for it.  This week also I broke a VERY long plateau in my weight loss journey so that too feels amazing.  So nice to feel excited for a new day, excited for the future and excited to be alive.
