It's become almost routine, my whining about not having enough time to blog about any decent topic for long. No doubt, life has become fuller and fuller, but I must learn to adapt somehow and make the time work for me even harder.
In truth, I've been so caught up with this new job that I find myself checking work email at home on Sundays! And actually replying!
It's all good. Some funny thing snapped in me just recently, when I made up my mind to confirm that I would stay on here for good. I think I finally feel, um, AT HOME. I work even later than I ever did before, and far more frequently than I ever did, but this job requires so much more of me. It's good to stretch out. I couln't learn how far I can reach until I did.
Not to say I'm anywhere near the top right now. But I see light where I could only envision drudge this time last year. That's good. Optimism in this time and place has its role.
One other little thing that is making me feel upbeat. I just purchased Vogue USA's March 2009 issue on Friday. First Lady Michelle is on the cover, looking not so much like a million bucks as L'Oreal's famous tagline: "She's worth it". This is their annual power issue, and it is filled with stories of women. Not women thrust into power, but women who own and wield the power of the fullness of their lives. It is in a sense more about empowerment than actual power......something here resonates with me right now.
