More of Yesterday

For whatever reason, I am having an increase in interaction with other people.  I have to admit, I like it.  I've been so isolated (both by choice and by circumstances) that I am feeling like I am coming out of my shell again.  There are days that being in my own little hole and hiding from the world is the only thing I can think about.  Then I get these periods where I can't imagine not interacting with the world around me.  Currently I am at the beginning of wanting to interact w/ the world.

I have to be careful though, as I want to interact w/ the world, I tend to over extend myself.  I am trying to stay focused on exercising and diet.  I think also, my new job will keep me busy enough to not want to feel like I want to pile more onto my plate. 

I am very excited about my new job.  I am also sad to leave the team I have been working with for 3.5 years.  My current team has supported me through some really rough times in my life, and I can't express my appreciation enough.  I have been able to heal and ground in my present job.  It has provided me with the ability to find my footing again and create a stable (as stable as I can be lol) space for my family.  Apparently the Universe or Higher Power feels that it is time for me to rejoin my path, rest time is over. 

I do want to point out, just because my current job has allowed me to heal and get back up from the pit I had put myself in, doesn't mean the job was in anyway easy.  My job within my current department has changed every 3-6 months as new programs have been rolled out and our roles have been in constant flux.  The job is totally telephonic, so without seeing patients, I have to triage, educate, encourage, support, and sleuth out the best way to guide the person in their trek towards optimizing their health. 

Our current manager is amazing!!  She has brought more stability to the work we are doing and is willing to push us but also is willing to say, this isn't working, lets' change direction.  I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work w/ Nancy for the last year +.  I feel a lot of the healing that has taken place on our team has been because of Nancy's facilitation of allowing us to work through our previous experiences. 

I am feeling in a good spot!  The family has settled in.  Our wedding is coming up at the end of August, so we are in the midst of wedding preparations.  Our wedding is going to be very simple and the intent is to enjoy our day and celebrate.  For us, it is all about the love we have for each other.  So the whirlwind is filled with love, peace, and joy.  There is little to no stress, just like us!

I am looking forward to what this next year brings; if all goes right, I will be dashing in my tux :)
