In half an hour I go to work… @
After a weekend of mixed feelings, I move forward with the initial plan. As I so honestly admitted to some former colleagues, this opportunity is so appealing because it will give me a steady rhythm and a little time away from chaos. I’m an introvert, on one hand people energize me and on the other, unstructured interactions can suck the life out of me; so work is different.
Being here with Jaclyn, playing the games she invites us into, taking turns, I don’t feel as overwhelmed as I did when other kids, nephews would ask me to play with them. My stamina was not trained. I did not know myself and my limits as well as I do now in relation to kids.
I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’ll look back at this time and probably feel grateful as well.
Here we go!
