That time is now

Today is Easter - I'm not Christian but it's the time of resurrection and renewal and that's how I've been feeling lately.

Tomorrow starts the last week of my current job.  I am happy, relieved and filled with joy that I'm walking away from something that didn't bring much happiness or financial comfort.  That's not a complaint; it's the reality of the situation.  It sustained me and gave me a springboard to work from.  I put in a lot of time and effort at this position with no rewards (and it's not just me; it's symptomatic of the company's dynamic) and a greater drive to take complete control of my life, including what kind of atmosphere would be a better fit for me.  As I've said before, I'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful; a little nervous in a good way (the anticipation of a new place, new people, new experience, etc.) and I'm looking forward to it.

I spent a good portion of the day writing reviews as well.  I've neglected to sit down, pop in a submitted CD and pay attention, take notes and critique it the right way, but it worked.  My eating habits have begun to corral themselves and I'm regaining my sense of self-control.  I stopped at my regular barber this past Friday for a refresher haircut before the job change - I've been trying to take care of all the little details and tie up any and all loose ends.

It's finally spring and this is a refreshing feeling for me.  It's also wonderfully liberating.
