I started training for my "promotion" today. After weeks and weeks of talking about it, it finally happened! I wish the new pay would have started today too...but that's just wishful thinking! I had a lot of fun and it was nice to do something out of normal routine. Yes, yes, this will become normal for me eventually...but for now, it's fun learning!
I often think back to where I was x amount of years ago. Two years ago, my marriage had just fallen apart and I couldn't get myself out of bed. And now I'm jumping out of bed (well...more like dragging, I like my sleep) to get to work, dropping Emma off at kindergarten (holy crap!). I've got it all down. I stop at the gas station in the morning to get gas, grab a juice (although now I'll be getting hot chocolate since there is freaking SNOW on the ground), chit chat with the nice lady behind the corner and start my battle through traffic to get to work in my big fancy building. I feel like I belong there now. Two years ago I would NEVER have imagined myself in this new life. And it feels awesome. Beyond awesome.
It's been a long process to get here. And sure, I still have my "weaknesses", but compared to two years ago, I'm a whole new person. I've learned more about myself than I thought possible - about my strength, my courage, my heart. I've also pin pointed areas I need to work on, especially when it comes to dating - but I'll get that straightened out eventually.
I've been through some pretty crappy things in my short 28 years, but the fact that I'm still standing, stronger than ever with a smile on face, shows what a kick ass person I am.
Enough ego boosting. Phrase of the day: "Nothing is Impossible."
