๐ฑ my decisions ๐คช

and their consequences, was certainly a great source of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt for me, even after being clean for a minute. over the past few years, especially the past eighteen months things have gotten a bit better for me, as i am now learning to live in a bit of FAITH, that i will know what the next correct decision i need to make, happens to be. now that the stress of being what i never was, for everyone around me has been somewhat removed from consideration, i can move with the sort of confidence i always wanted to project, but was always a façade i created for mass consumption. i am grateful this morning that i have men in my life to guide me on this journey and that i have stopped looking for the destination and started to experience the journey.
as i drove through the masses of very slow moving cars this morning, i considered whether or not i really need to be seeking a new position. i have been “playing” the recruiters that are cold-calling me, knowing full well that unless an offer beyond my wildest dreams, comes down the pike, i will not be interested in leaving what i have found here. i like the team, i like the work, i love the salary, BUT i hate the commute and the little fiefdoms that huge corporations seem to have been built upon. the reality is that i have a whole lot of FREEDOM here and i have been exercising that freedom to the max. sure i would love an office that was half the distance from my home, but for right now, i have the best of all possible worlds, and i have to remember that, when i start peeking at the lawn on the other side of the fence.
the other thing that is on my mind, is fantasy football and how am i going to dominate two leagues this season. that is certainly a luxury concern and one i can let go until the time of making all those decisions is at hand. just for today, i will allow myself the freedom to dream, obsess and pretend i can foretell the future, making all the correct picks and playing the perfect lineup for the thirteen or fourteen weeks i “get” to play. as silly as that sounds, that is my biggest concern in the here and now, so i guess i will let it go and go upstairs to get my morning shot in the dark, it is after all, one of the perks of working here! 🤩
