"Experience is not acquired without bruises and pain....To wish for the rewards of growth without having to go through the growing pains is futile...Recovery calls for going through each step, feeling all the feelings and having the patience to wait for results." Just For Today
Isn't that the truth? I'm really feeling the rough patches of life right now. It's just so hard to be at a new job. I have so many questions, lack so much knowledge, and am on that super sharp learning curve again. I was complaining in my former position of being bored and stuck. Well, I am not bored or stuck any longer.
And I don't feel good. I have not been sick in over a year and it pretty much sucks. I worked a half day today. Alas, at 11:30 am, my superwoman powers gave out and I had to call it a day. I probably should have stayed home, but I just hate calling in, especially at a new position and especially when I'm off shortly for a week of vacation.
But, in great news, my Charlie Brown Christmas tree is up in the apartment. Normally, I am so against Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, but this year I just really need some sparkly white lights in the apartment. So, the little tree is sparkling with all its might and the Santas are hanging out in various places and the blinds are open so the world can know that I have the first Christmas tree up in the neighborhood. Merry Christmas (and Happy Thanksgiving)!!

Such truth to those words.
I just finished decorating the store this past week with our holiday visuals, and you know what? This year, I'm totally ok with pulling out an occasional holiday song amongst all the garlands and 'Happy' around me. Decorations before Thanksgiving are just fine - just let's not jump too far into the whole 'Merry Christmas'; we'll leave it as the slow warm-up to the holiday season.
