You’ve heard talk of the proverbial corner, right? The one that, miraculously, will solve all your problems once taken advantage of? (No, this is not that kind of corner, nor that kind of advantage…keep it clean, people.)
I’m talking about the little baby steps that we must make to keep our lives running more-or-less smoothly. I don’t think there is one Big Corner of Life that, upon turning it, all one’s problems will be solved. I do, however, believe in many little corners, small hurdles, and quiet victories.
People, I have come to one of those corners; and you better be darn sure I turned it. I turned it right up. I did not pass Go. I did not collect $200 dollars. I turned the corner.
Finally.
I realize this is not the first time I have announced this statement for all the Internets to scoff at–but this time it’s more true than last time. And it’s Awesome!
I have finally found myself in a position that not only challenges me, but also puts to good use the talents I enjoy the most. I have found a position where I am needed and appreciated. Things are still brand new right now, but let me put this into a little bit of perspective for you: I just finished working a 15-hour day, I have another 15-hour day tomorrow, and I am happy as a clam. Ya know, if there were scientifically based evidence that clams are, in fact, happy.
I have yet to figure out how, exactly, to talk about this here–but I am so excited about the turn of events I couldn’t not share. Next week will have a lot more information, I promise!
Happy Friday!

Very happy to hear you’ve turned that corner and found something that makes you happy. Me? I left 15+ hour days a decade ago and I’ll be happy if I never see one again!!!
