Well, it's been my first Monday back to work since August - my forced vacation lasted exactly 4 months. I've found a new position, and it seems to be working out great. Just today, I overheard two of the other employees chatting about how much work I was getting done. I think they had feared their newbie would need lots of training!
So, now I am working as Office Manager/Bookkeeper for a small CPA firm called Schram & Associates, located quite close to home in Covington. We have a handful of friendly employees, and a solid and growing client base. The firm handles personal and business income taxes as well as offering ongoing business accounting services - really a full service company! Do you know anyone looking for a new tax preparer? Give me a buzz and I will hook you up!
I was hoping that being back to work would be like a magic wand in lifting my melacholy... but then I remembered that I was feeling a bit despondent before the layoff! Today, it was back to the old pattern of coming home to a messy house (except the kitchen, which I suspect hadn't been used all day) with two lumps camped out on the couch and a toddler in yesterday's dirty clothes putting around in a pile of toys and books scattered about the living room floor. Add to that the stalled Christmas decorating, and it was overwhelming just coming through the door. Scotty says I just need to get over it... right.
So, I will continue in this new pattern and find a new rhythm to my days. I'm sure there's a light at the end of the tunnel - I just hope it isn't another oncoming train!
The brief snow we had last week was a peaceful reminder that God is in charge in all seasons of life. I just need to remember His blessings and focus on the bright side!
