Big Rocks and LIttle Rocks: Navigating Terrain Shifts

Since I last wrote, a lot has changed in my life – as I anticipated it would. The changes are good, and I am grateful for that.

I have now started my new job, which has come with a lot of apprehensive excitement. A steep learning curve usurped my capacities for routine and for writing.

But, I am finding my way back, learning how to live my new life, facing myself over and over again in a whole new world.

Changes, even good ones, can be unsettling and upset the balance in my routines, in my life. These changes turned my foundation into a slippery slope – more than I expected.

I enjoy the beach much more at half my size. I feel younger, better, and more energetic than I ever have in my life, even though my age now gets me some senior discounts.

And, I have failed. More I than planned, and more than I would like to admit. Failure works that way.

But, failures are a natural part of the self-improvement process, the ongoing process of being me, of facing myself, of understanding the shadows that shape my life.
