No posts lately, that's because...you guessed it...school started.
Another year has begun and it has started with promises of being much easier than the last. By easier I mean, I feel like I half way know what I'm doing this year. Last year I was in the "ready to go" mode, this year it's more like, "ok, this is what will probably happen." The first couple of days were quite refreshing.
I haven't completely gotten into the swing of things, there are always curve balls thrown at my face from time to time, but overall I feel like a much more calm and happy individual. Could it be that I just had two whole months to rest? I do believe this is part of it. I also think I'm going into this year with a slightly different attitude. I say, "what happens, happens." I'm much better about separating work and home, and I suppose it will only get better. Plus, I'm realizing some things are out of my control. Those things I can't change I try not to worry about. And the things I have any control over-well, I put forth my best.
This year will certainly bring it's own challenges, the first one I see on my list is tour. But hey, what happens happens. I'm thinking at the end of this year I'll be able to look back and say, "ah, another one down, another one to learn from" and who knows, maybe I'll make a difference in a life or two. Here's to a year better than the last.
