I'm writing this in bed. The lights are out and my housemates have gone to bed. The ones who are actually home, that is. We're early risers, and really I should be sleeping now as well. But, I want to take a few minutes to reflect on the past month. When did it become September, and late September at that? Life has been pretty much a blur. It's odd to feel like you're in a routine that never stops and never slows down for you. You just have to slow down and acknowledge the fact that the pace is too fast and then somehow, it slows down too.
At work, I've been learning a lot. Taking on new roles, trying new things, stepping outside my comfort zone. My boss has been really supportive and for that, I'm really thankful. Work is sometimes crazy and I find myself running from one meeting to the next. To actually get some of my own tasks done, I try to get to work early so that it's still quiet and I can do work uninterrupted. The other day as I rode the bus home, I was thinking about work, and I realized that I can sum it up in the statement that Work may be hard and tiring, but when I think about Work, I still smile. I still smile because when I step back to think about just how much of a blessing it is, I really can't help but be thankful.
