Something Different
In keeping this blog I've been trying to tell stories. I wanted it to be an opportunity to practice my writing and have fun. Today I'm just going to write about whatever I'm thinking - so it will be a little different.
I can tell it's cold outside. The sky is a bright grey and the trees are moving in the wind. A few white snowflakes are swirling around, not really falling, just swirling in the breeze.
The hounds are asleep. One is on a pillow that is much too small for her, head lying on the floor. The other is curled up in the crook of my leg while I sit on the couch.
They're both snoring.
It's 2011. 2010 was a big year for me as I made a big, scary career move. I went from being a star on a team as I had been there the longest and had the most org knowledge to being the woman in charge at another organization. It was a big, frightening move. I'm still hoping it was a good choice. 2011 will be the year I find out.
One of my hesitations was that I was going to be moving from a big buzzing workplace where I had a lot of friends to a two person shop. Work was really where I got my social interaction and then I would come home and be happily alone.
I was worried I would be lonely.
So far, it's not been an issue. Even though I work on my own a lot there are a lot of great people at this new workplace.
Something interesting has happened in the last few weeks. I've created an unexpected connection. I'm still not 100% sure how to define it - but it's been making me very happy.
I'm not making New Years resolutions this year. I have hopes for 2011 but I will take my life as it comes and keep being happy and optimistic.
