beginner or re-beginner
this is the name of the running program in which i am participating. it is also the name of where i find myself in life. a new job by definition makes you a re-beginner. i have worked before and i have worked well - but now it is all brand new. sure - i have an impressive title - but that fragile feeling of being the one isn't sure about the protocol for decisions, or whether or not to ask permission or seek forgiveness - who won't leave at 4:55 - just in case someone needs me at 4:59 - those are the things that creep into my psyche and give me that re-beginner feeling. i long for the day when i can feel secure in my decisions again, when i will speak with the authority of someone who " has been doing this for years" and when at 3:15 p.m. on a friday - i will say "peace out" and pick up the divine miss q from daycare early. change and transition are difficult for me - i know it and i understand what is happening in my psyche now - but it doesn't mean i have to like it.

Hello divine K & Little divine Ms Q
what have you 2 been up to besides running I am not doing to well this week with my diet to much stress at work
Although it sounds simple, it's not always easy, but it is essential to accept and embrace the notion of "Bloom(ing) where you are planted."
