The last two weeks have been insanely (crazy) busy getting my feet grounded in the new company. There is always a short transition period to go back inside after being immersed in the world of others. Finding space and time to let thoughts and new ideas flow.
I find myself blessed with two days to myself this weekend. As I sit here in total silence with the exception of the dog licking her tail (god, it sounds oddly good), I know with my whole being that this transition back into this world of hustle, bustle, competition and ego will not change the perspective gained about myself or what matters most in my life.
It feels so good to know that--really know that.
I wasn't sure how it was going to feel but, as I sit in meetings listening, assessing and speaking the language of organizational change, the biggest difference is sitting there and knowing that none of this stuff is self defining. Interesting (maybe) but, not defining. My sense of self, is in fact, forever insulated.
It feels so good to know that--really know that.
My biggest joy during the last two weeks has been derived from simply pulling into the driveway and watching the dogs jump and do laps around the back yard because I'm finally home.
Family, friends...sharing BIG love. These are the things I could not survive in this world without.
