I'm coming back from a vacation that I needed more than anything in the world. And while I only missed three days of work, I came back to the office feeling off-orbit. It didn't help that the CEO had resigned the day before at 4:51pm, via email from his executive assistant. But still, it felt like I'd walked back into the office before an earthquake - the animals sensed it and flew away. I spent the day trying to get back into the rhythm of the place. And while I'm nowhere near the top to be playing game of thrones, I'm sure that wheels spun and alliances are beginning.
Now I'm home, still feeling disoriented - how did I get here? what year is it? - but two glasses of wine in, I'm feeling good. Matt is cooking dinner. Together, we made some resolutions. Together, we went for a run this morning. Together, we are in this for the long haul. One day at a time.
I'm working at re-discovering my equilibrium. I want to re-discover the things that make me happy: long runs on the canal. Walks of wonderment. How to write. Being present. I want to be more present in my own life than ever before.
