Happy

Hi.

It's been a long time since I had a full week in between posts.

This week has been a bit crazy. It was my first week at my new job. I love the job, it's exciting and challenging and full of fun people. I feel like I can actually make a difference and see results. There is a lot I have to learn still, and things were a bit messy when I came on board (computer and HR issues) but I really feel like things are good, and only going to get better.

I suppose I took a quick blogging break because I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with all the "new". And I still am- soon I will get into a routine again and this will be my norm, but right now I am trying to soak everything in.

This weekend I spent a lot of time with my family. I needed that. It was a nice reminder of the ongoing support that they give me as well as the fun we always have when we are together.

I don't have much to say, but I did want to share a little diddy that I wrote yesterday morning.

I could close the blinds

And shut out the noise

But I won't, I won't

I want to let the light in

And hear the sweet sounds

Cuz life still isn't easy

And things still aren't fair

But I can't help it,

I'm smiling,

Cuz it's never been this much fun

To be alive

I could hide inside

And ignore everyone else

But I won't, I won't

I want to walk the streets

Let them see what happy has done for me

Show fear that it doesn't stand a chance

Cuz life isn't easy

And things still aren't fair

But I can't help it,

I'm smiling,

Cuz it's never been this much fun

To be alive

Even though things are crazy busy, and things are certainly far from perfect, I am happy. I am loving life. I am excited. It's a good place to be.
