Halfway through Lent

During this time of reflection,  I've gotten a more serene about the current situation.

I also realize that I may have been unrealistic immediately after Rick died thinking I would jump right back into the workforce and pick up where I left off.  I should have been more realistic and given myself the room to grieve and heal.  Ultimately that is what I did.

I'm also serene about the fact that it took nine years to wind up in the situation I was in when Rick died.  Now that I realize that getting back to the better position I was in in 2006 is going to take a little while.  What's good about that is I no longer kick myself for taking so long to get back to that point.

Guess the other thing I need to work on is realizing that I probably will wind up at a different point.  Sort of like a lateral move.

I'm going to take it easy this weekend and celebrate with a glass of Processo as I work on the issue of getting badly needed R&R.

Hopefully that will be fun.
