Dear Dad: I apologize in advance. You know me, I’m all or nothing. Either I’m going to say what I feel or I won’t say anything at all. So right now, I’m saying.
Love,
Me
I’m evaluating. Daily. Am I where I’m supposed to be?
My faith tells me the answer to that question is “yes”. Where I am today is exactly where I’m supposed to be; there are no accidents in life.
Ok. Fine.
Am I moving towards where I’m going? And, when am I supposed to get there?
I’ve no idea. In the meantime. Where am I now?
Glass Half Empty
I miss NYC.
I miss connecting with friends.
I hate that I constantly miss important events in my friend’s lives (birthday celebrations, etc.).
I miss a professional network (and connecting w/like minded peers).
I miss connecting w/the community.
I miss weekends.
I miss trips to my hair stylist.
I miss my church.
I miss time to refresh, to reflect, to build perspective.
I miss feeling like I’m my best self.
I miss me (and “me” isn’t present right now. Not sure why…)
They say you can’t miss something you’ve never had but…I miss newlywed quality time with The Mr.
Glass Half Full
I’m in a role that has great visibility.
I have a great career trajectory to date.
I have sponsors.
I have tons of opportunity to learn.
I have a supportive Mr. despite it all.
…

Clearly, I’m still working on the “Glass Half Full” list.
I’ll continue to reflect. But probably not tomorrow…
I’m going to work.
