Today is my one day a week to work at ACA (Arkansas Counseling Associates). I had training to do all morning, then I found myself free until 3:30 when I will have a client at my practice. ( a pro bono one...don't get excited) I think I am going to need a "keeper" before this is all over to direct me where I'm supposed to be and when!
I actually had time to run a couple of errands. I haven't had much time since the job change. I've been covered up with all other sorts of things. My study is still needing to be unpacked of those last few boxes, considering I added 2-3 to the stack when I moved from the high school last month. Now, I will be having three offices and trying to be sure I have everything where I need it and when is going to be tricky! I also learned that soon I will be traveling some to other preschool sites with Bost to serve some clients there. My trunk will be packed, I imagine!
But today, just today, I am able to take a deep breath. I have been needing to do that for some time now. I'm sitting in the study right now with boxes and stacks of papers needing sorting/filing all over the place, and I feel peaceful. For the first time in several weeks, I feel at peace.
I know it likely won't last long...I know myself THAT well, at least. But I can come back to this moment and know that it is possible. Change is hard for everyone, I understand. For me, it is usually monumental. I've had so many changes over the last few months that this final one almost pushed me over the hill. Well, I know I AM basically over the hill, but you know what I mean! The sun is shining, I'm in the black in my account, have paid the bills and it looks like if I manage things pretty well, maybe I won't get confused about where to be on what day.
And I may even remember to breathe.
