In Like A Lion...

So, with March now being slightly over half over and the official start of Spring being next week; I figured I would finally post on what's been going on.

First off, all apologies for the delay in posts. Time has simply slipped away from me, with all that has happened. 2015 seems to be going at double the speed that 2014 was at. It also has proven to be a year of turbulent progress. Life is moving drastically forward in an equally dramatic fashion. With that being said, here goes:

For the record, the weather here for the first half of March has been unseasonably warm. A few days ago, it even reached the low 70's. It has been record setting temps for the month; and even south Texas, were my sister lives, has been cooler than it has been up here. I bring this up for two reasons: #1 With the lack of snow in the mountains, we're sure to have a wicked drought this coming summer. The other reason is that, in my personal and especially my professional life, things have been dark and gloomy. I've had many setbacks and have internalized a terrible amount of stress. To the point where I have felt like I'm losing my mind and have felt like the walls of my life have been closing in on me. It hasn't been healthy, to say the least. 

Then, out of the blue, the weather started taking a turn for the worst and my life, again both personally and professionally, have begun to start taking a turn for the better. I had back to back interviews with recruiters from Comcast and I've begun to get some amazing love and support from an awesome group of friends. This past weekend, I had an accidental vacation (more that partially to do with my phone both dying on me and playing and expert game of hide-and-go-seek) where I had a temporary but completely necessary escape from reality. I was able to be me without any external (and especially internal) pressure to be...well, an adult. For about 48 hours, I had escaped the rat race and was reminded that life doesn't have to be completely serious 24/7. 

So where does this leave me? Well, the mini-vacation worked. I've relaxed, regrouped, and refocused on the future. I was reminded that I'm not facing this alone and I'm going to use that to my advantage. I'm going to pursue the Comcast and, with luck, my next post will be as an employee with them.

As you may have noticed, I did keep this one a bit vague. Simply because so much has happened and I honestly don't feel like going into it all. But, as the rains come down and the rivers begin to swell, life is beginning to shine once again.
