hell is a waiting room

Nov 14, 2008 21:36

My plans are certain, even as my future is completely unknown.

I am truly a gypsy now, but I feel grounded.
I've used three addresses this week.

My physical address may be the subject of some confusion,
but I feel more at home than I have felt in a long, long time.

I am richer than I've ever been in so many ways,
but I am poorer than I expected to be at this stage.

The possibilities are endless and the opportunities seem to be multiplying.
The waiting is just as endless, but each deadline passes with a reason to set a new one.

Every day, there are meetings that come with good answers.
Every answer comes with ten more good questions.

None of these things are as contradictory as I thought they once were.

We are on fire. We are making some serious headway and it excites us all.
Because it's winter, being on fire is a better state than being on ice,
but it's still an extreme, and I long for a bit of middle ground.

I've put my faith in the team I work with because they did it for me not too long ago,
They deserve it, and we're all in the same boat. The boat is well built.

I will wait this out. We all will, as a unit. My gut tells me it makes sense,
and if I don't, more than my gut will ache. Maybe it isn't even a choice.

Those with more experience in the business than me say this is the acid test...
OK then. Bring it.

So far, so good. Hatches battened with minimal stress.
Learning and adapting have always been strong suits.

Still happy at the end of every day, still excited about the next.
Now, I'm just getting a little curious about the week after that.

stay tuned...
