Something Good

It has been a while and it has not been that nothing has been happening in my life. Or even that I am so hectically busy that I can't take the ten minutes out of my life to update this. In fact, if I spent even half the time on here that I do playing some game or the other online, I could have posts every day of the week. And then some.....

No, it is just that the past two months have been all about my life just slotting into place. I feel the same way I do these days as I did two years ago - in December of 2007. The job is starting to feel right - I am not feeling like I am constantly being watched to see just how wrong I can get it. In fact, if anything, I feel like I am starting to get a sense of things and wanting to really learn more. I love what I am doing and there is something to be said about finding the type of job in the type of environment that just really suits who you are.

And I like the environment. It has been sad to get there and see so many people go. Especially some of the people I got to know best before they left, but at the same time, it opens up the chance for other new people to come in and become one of the team. I am normally not a team player - I pick and choose the people who surround me with care - but I like the people I work with and I am finally getting to that stage where I feel comfortable getting to know them and letting them know a little bit about me. And I am willing to be open about some of the things in my life that are a little more personal......okay, I still have not told the Halloween story but then again, perhaps that story never needs to see the light of day.

And I am sorting my life out. I am doing all sorts of grown up things: making big purchases and thinking about my retirement plan and saving and health care. I am thinking about the long term - doing things like heading to the gym when all I want to do is go home, sit in front the telly, and spend quality time with Ben and Jerry. I am making an effort to get up and out on weekends - find something to do, entertain myself, and if in doing so, I meet some new folks in Miami. All the better - it is time to start rebuilding my friend network. It is all good and fine to have loads of folks across the pond I love and who love me back (and miss me) but I need a support network here. So, I am reaching out, making changes, taking chances. And I am loving everything about my life right now.
