dark week

I almost smell snow ...



... almost.

This week holds the career fair, last minute rally-race panic and trying to remain myself in the midst of chaos. I get really introspective and reflective this time of year. Absolutely the result of a life-change this time 2 years ago. A good life change, but probably in the top 3 of difficult things I have gone through yet, not because of what it was ... but because of what I needed to learn from it.

No "woe is me" ... I'm glad it happened, and more than happy with where I am now ... I'm just reminded of it this time of year, lost in the vivid memories and static play by play of each aching feeling I had then.

Aside from my "dark week", I'm gearing up for a tough month with quite a few projects with big clients. Tomorrow we have a lunch with a GM rep, as well as a discussion afterward on a new form of marketing, which apparently has a lot to do with what I am already being trained to do. Neat. After that the week barrels into many hours spent in the photo lab and even more hours pouring over a take-home exam that involves much coloring. Yes ... coloring.
So ... before the week starts, I'll get to bed early ... and start the day off with a prayer and some yoga... and of course an amazing cup of coffee immediately following.
