Life *is* beautiful
I feel like my life is coming into bloom right now.
I know I’m tempting fate by making a statement like that, but I realize that life is life and that the wheel of fortune will turn again. I don’t expect this to be any sort of “and then she lived happily ever after!” But I intend to acknowledge and savour what my life is right now-and that is wonderful and amazing.
I mean I’ve got my family and two wonderful babies, and more friends than I realized a year ago. This spring has been gorgeous… and of course there’s Lauren. Is there anything better than being newly in love in the spring?
And, my latest bit of news, is a *huge* promotion at my job. As of May 13th I will be the “Merchandising Supervisor” at the Maple Grove store. In short that means that I’ll be doing what I do right now in Gifts and Stationary, but with all the books music and DVDs. Well, at least I’ll be in charge of making sure it all gets done, I couldn’t do it all on my own. Plus I’m moving up a rung on the authority scale.
I’m full of mixed emotions… I don’t want to leave downtown for yuppieville, but the promotion (not to mention the pay) is amazing and this puts me on a Borders career path, something I’m def OK with. I’ll be sad to leave my friends there, but excited to make new ones. This is going to be a huge change and a lot to learn… but I think I’m up to the challenge and I’m excited about it.
Life is so wonderfully strange.
