CHANGES

I've been so busy lately. Ever since I made the big Change of moving on from my current job and setting off in new directions, I've been busy, busy, busy. Work has been incredibly busy with so many things to finish up before I leave-- the big conference, the big meeting, the big transition papers, the big everything.

On the homefront, I've inundated myself with activity. It's almost as if I'm trying to cram in all the things I always wanted to do into the "now" in order to make sure I do them while I'm dedicated to doing these things. So I'm loving my Spanish immersion classes; I'm loving the beginnings of involvement in the youth center (training tomorrow night!); I'm loving the volunteering with Senator Boxer's campaign; I'm loving the volunteering with other groups; I'm loving my cat; and I'm suprisingly energetic about it all.

And I only have eight working days left and then I plan some type of Giant detoxification of some sort to cleanse my spirit of this soon-to-be-past part of my life. Yes, I will miss my people greatly and have valued working with them for the last two years. But, I will be glad to move on and leave those struggles behind and get back to taking care of myself. I see June as a revitalization period. And I look forward to it as such. I need to reconstruct, rebuild, rejuvenate, and reinvigorate my inner self. And the physical too-- so much more gym in the near future as well.

Thanks for bearing with me as I go through all of this. And thanks for being so supportive and wonderful. It's made all the difference. I'm still here and going strong.
