Day two

I'm planning to get more creative.
I have some topics I've written down to Blog about, so I'll start sifting through them.
Tonight, it is Friday of a three day weekend and I am going to just wax poetic about the need for a break at the end of Summer.
I love Summer.  This happened to be the hottest on record, and I have a new job that required me to be outside for at least 15 or my 40 hours per week.  I was hired as Manager of Special Events for the City, knowing what would be expected.  I LOVE my job.
The thing that surprises me about my time in "hell" which in this case means most of my events were conducted in above 95 degree temperatures, is that I like to be outside much more than I ever thought.
I have never been the "outdoorsy" type.  Spending time outside became something I looked forward to each week.
I am very happy that I am still able to learn new things about myself.  I think this whole self awareness kick was triggered by learning that no one is really who you think they are and that applies to ourselves.  I have learned so much about others in the past 10 years, I decided enough.  It's time to learn about who this person is, daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, & grandmother...am I really who I think I am, or who I have been told I am, or who I want to be?
So even though Summer isn't really over, I say, "thank you".  Thank you for showing me that if you love your job, you can be happy in the most uncomfortable circumstances.  Summer makes me feel young, and my first summer as a Grambo didn't change that.  I felt like I was up to the task, and that is important, as I age and know that while somethings are beyond my grasp, somethings are not.
I'm going to savor this three day weekend and think of some interesting topics to cover.
I'll be here tomorrow.  I hope you will too.
