be careful what you ask for

I remember at my previous "job" at what I achingly called "the schoolyard", I used to wish to be challenged. Articulating (loudly) that I'd like to get a job that would stretch my capacity for growth, have me crying myself to sleep with all the new challenges abound and one that would keep me busy.

Well...here I am now.

And I am thanking the Lord through it all.

There have been no tears (yet) or the frantic activity that comes with overwhelming busyness (yet), but I see it clearly on the horizon.

The mission period of "consultation" has started and we've touched down in Aruba. Long days (9-5 non-stop - yes this is long for me lol) and even longer evenings of consolidation of the day's work, catching up on emails, still trying to take on more work (Lord father) and yet still trying to ne a sociable mid-30 year old feels like being on the hampster wheel.

Hell..I'm on a beach resort. Got to lay down for on a beach chair for 20 minutes for the first time yesterday to watch the sun set - despite being here for almost a week already! 

Or the fact that I woke up at 4am to respond to whatsapps, personal emails and to write this.

Oi Vey. But I asked for it..so I'll absorb all of it :)
