here’s to new beginnings
A 45 minute drive twice a day. You wouldn’t think, but a welcome change to the dark climate in my life of late. For the past 9 months, I have been in a near-continual state of depression, weary, breathing heavily, and not enjoying life. All of that is over. Part of life is not only being in the wrong place, and making a change, but also holding on for dear life until the sun shines again.
Today (and yesterday) everything is different. I can breathe in fresh air again. I don’t even remember what that feels like, or when I last knew how amazing it feels. It changes everything. The place I’m in today is so different, and I couldn’t have engineered it any better if I tried. This is all the work of one whose ways I cannot comprehend.
A little respect, a little courtesy and thoughtfulness from someone else is all it takes. I started a new job yesterday, and I have never had such an incredible first day at such an amazing, but unassuming place before. If most days can be expected to go somewhat like the first day, I will never leave here as my place of employment if I can help it. A little respect and uncommon consideration, and I will pledge my undying loyalty.
Its the money, the environment, the work, the people, the new everything, the office, the benefits, the perks, even the furniture, everything is perfect for me. I am truly thankful for what I have now, it is light years better and different than what I went through before. I am excited to come to work in the morning and see what I can accomplish. Wow. Weird.

There is a real and amazing difference in you. More than you even see. The way you carry yourself is different. Here’s to a new life and joy once again.
