New start

I'm just about to head off to work--a new job and a new career. I haven't worked since August last year and I have to say I'm a bit nervous. After all the cancer bullshit I'm going back to a normal life. I got up at 5 and took the dog for a walk in the fog, just like I used to. I've made my lunch and chosen a snazzy outfit, just like I used to. My travel cup is ready and I've checked emails and spun around the house doing last minute cleaning up, just like I used to. And made brownies, which is sort of sucking up to the new boss--that's new and probably wont last. Smiling and hoping for the best. This is a good day. Marg

  • Very best wishes Marg. Anyone who can get up at 5 and walk the dog in the fog, doesn't need luck and we know what your determination is like. Hope you have a terrific day.

    Onya for the new start! I hope it gives you some sense of yourself again instead of being totally defined by health issues
