Wow

So there went August. I am writing this post just to write. I mean, I moved, to Massachusetts, I started a new job I love and is overwhelmingly (take it however ever you want it) great for me, and life has just changed so quickly.

When I look to my path, passage, and beliefs, I really have solace and strengthen that things happen for a reason and God's focus never fades from us regardless of the circumstances. When my movers were 4 days late and charged me an extra $250 in cash because my apartment complex just happened to close off the entire parking lot of my building, causing them to have to hand carry all my crap hundreds of feet further than we'd all expected, I just said out loud "God is love, love these people." This is the case in all circumstances for me, whether I appropriately act in best accordance with it or not. God is love, love these people.

It has been amazing here. I am delighted by the weather - it is cool and crisp already, and the only time I have used my AC was to make it cool inside my apartment in a hurry for the movers as they did an insanely fast job getting all my stuff up and in the place. The apartment community so far is really great too - beautiful, quiet, with great amenities and nice people whenever I run into them. I can't wait to get my walls painted - I have never been able to do this at any other place I've lived! It's next on the agenda.

Work is so good, and so crazy. We are in training, where my role is just to 'take it all in' and offer feedback where there's the opportunity or need. Man, it is a lot of work to do just that, since the organization is changing so much (for the better!) right now. I don't want to even think about my formal role now - it seems too big, and though I am excited for it, I know once it is all down in front of me, in my notes or something, the marathon will really start.

I enjoy my alone time too. I am pretty much foremost a mommy to my cat, who I think likes the place but is still in some aftershock from the move. I love the feeling of being out in the trees, by myself. It can be more lonely and isolating to feel separate in a big city than right here, where there is more peace in the air it seems to me. For now. I think the zing of training mixed with the solitude here, and tons of talking to S too, keeps me very balanced in a chaotic time.

There's probably more to be said, but this is just a start to the September blog. I will weave it all in somehow. Until then, its good to have my cat asleep on my foot, cutting off the circulation, and to be ready to get started another day.
