Well, I know that it has been a while, but I wanted to let you know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I have just fallen face first into my new job, and am loving loving loving it! Today was Freshman Move In -- forty five minutes ago, the parents ostensibly drove away and we've got six hundred some young people more or less on their own for the first time. Let the games begin!
This is going to be very brief -- but then, since I haven't written in weeks, it just might seem like a major tome. Here's the thing. Since moving to Delaware, since beginning my new position, I almost feel like I have been holding my breath -- waiting for the other shoe to drop. Surely things can't really be as good as they feel, as good as they seem. When is it all going to come crashing down? I like to put on a good front as an optimistic soul, but I am a realist at heart, and let's face it, my reality for the past couple of years -- not all that stellar. (With the caveat that my friends are truly fabulous -- any one who could stand beside me and not run away -- you are okay in my book!) But now... things feel very different. Things feel very good.
I am thinking maybe, just maybe, that other shoe isn't going to drop after all. And that's more than alright with me.
