Wednesday's Log - June 30th

Well another month gone, the year seems to be flying by at light speed. Hard to believe that its already been a year that I'm working from home, where the day go, I just don't know...

Funny, my Personal (or Astrological) Forecast this month said;
A month of completing cycles and starting out fresh, and a year of peace and contentment. A month of exciting new things, and a year of hard work and practicality.

In a way is true, a year of working from home, raising Fiji and being in control of my days is now over. Yesterdays events brought news of a new job starting Monday. As I sit here having finished my morning assignments and sipping the giant latte I made myself this morning I come to the conclusion that is definitely the start of a new chapter. This new job will be in a very young design studio with lots of opportunities for growth. Fortunately this studio specializes in branding and logo design so I can continue doing advertisement contracts in my free time without it being a conflict of interest. It also means that all those opportunities on the horizon, a new home, adoption, ect., might be closer than before.

These events also call for moments of quiet reflection. This new job works exclusively on software that I have absolutely no formal training on. However I do think that Spirit would have placed this on my path without giving me the tools I need to succeed. As scary as it seems at moments its just a matter of familiarizing myself with new icons, tools and jargon.

I think we spend so much time mapping out our lives and the roads we'll take in the future that moment we hit that detour sign we feel lost. Feelings seem to cloud our minds and stop us from seeing that perhaps this detour will lead to the same destination, just with a better scenery along the way. Instead we feel we are being denied what we want, what we planned for our lives. Who's to say that there is only one true path that will get us there. Maybe the path we initial mapped out has road work ahead that would slow us down, so Spirit/God/our Guardian Angel place a detour sign to help us find an easier way. We're just clouded by the emotions of what we believe to be another set back to see it. Its said that Spirit travels the path of least resistance, I guess the challenge is juts to breath and trust that.

Well that's enough ramblings for one morning, back to learning that new software. Plus this coffee need to be warmed up...
