I'm baaa-aack!!

Happy Monday for the second week in a row! Today was my first day back to work.

I've never been one who takes things for granted. Even the mundane that often escapes "normal" people's attention, gives me pause to stop and say a prayer of gratitude.

However, this past month and half has taught me a lot. I was sicker this past December than I have been in my adult life. It has been a humbling experience. I've always had the attitude that nothing was going to keep me from what I wanted to do. It was often a battle of wills with myself.

Work was one of those things that I almost took for granted. I told myself that I would continue to move forward in my career, damn the consequences. After several months of that attitude and the consequences nipping at my heels, that decision was taken out of my hands. The nipping at my heels became a full on assault that knocked me flat on my arse.

At first there wasn't a question of whether I could work. I simply couldn't. Have a slice of humble pie.

Then it was more of a question of balancing my desire to keep my career against those consequences.

By the grace of God, I'm being given a second chance to hold on to my career for a little longer. Granted, there are some modifications and some sacrifices. But I'm not done yet. God is good.

Well...these are the musings of an Idgie who had been rumored to have fallen off the face of the earth.
