Can I just say how glad I am that today isn’t my first day at a new job? It’s rainy and miserable outside. So instead of commuting, I’m sitting here at my dining room table, steamy cafe’ mocha coffee and newspaper at my side, typing a blog post. What’s not to love about that??
I’ve enjoyed this time of rest and renewal since leaving my last position in April. More than enjoying it, I really needed it. So consider how fortunate I am that 4 months later, I am refreshed and ready to be productive and along comes a job offer. It turns out that a woman who has attended my small group at church sent me a text about a need at her husbands company, we had lunch, and the rest is history. It’s been nearly 5 years since I’ve had a “first” day and I’m pretty excited about it, actually. Tomorrow is the day so I’m soaking in the things I’ve come to enjoy and will miss…
- sleeping in if I want to. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But there’s a choice.
- spending time with Nick. It’s been awesome having him home so much since his trip to Italy. But the truth is that he returns to Tally later this month and so all of that time comes to an end then anyway.
- A clean house every day. Laundry consistently done.
- Watching the dogs lounge on their favorite chairs during the day. Now they’ll be quarantined to the bathroom once again. I know they’re dogs but that kind of makes me sad.
- My Keurig coffee maker. A cup of fresh tea or coffee in less than 60 seconds whenever I’m in the mood.
