Reality Check

Today I returned to work. A tad weird and unsettling. The whole question of "am I ready for this?" But after breakfast with my awesome boss and a receiving line of hugs as I entered, I walked into my office to find balloons floating around, flowers, a new candle and home made cupcakes (mmmmm). How nice is that?! And I realized I was nervous over nothing...and it's great to be returning to such a warm and welcoming group. The tough part was when I wanted to call my Mom to tell her how great my team is. As the days pass and the urges increase b/c the list of things I wish I could share with her is piling up, it's tough. But I continue to resign myself to "one day at a time" and go from there.

Off to sushi with a friend/co-worker...and just like that, through another day.

So glad you feel so at home already in your new city and job. It will most certainly help in transitioning to this new chapter of your book of life. Keep that list going and remember you can share it anytime you wish with your Mom...she is always listening.

I want to call my Dad at least once a week. That's been the hardest thing for me.
