Back from the dead

So I visited this blog of mine and wasn't shocked to discover that my last post was almost a year ago. I know I've been ignoring my little musings headquarters. And the longer I went, the more bad I felt about the absence and the more overwhelmed I felt to make up for it. But I can't make up for it.

I can only pick up my virtual pen and start up again.

I've had plenty of musings this past year, most of which I've shared via email with friends or kept to myself, or jotted down in my various journals strewn from room to room.

Time just got away from me, and my creativity became imprisoned by life's other pressing issues and my unwillingness to wage a courageous battle against the many gremlins that kept me from my craft.

And somehow in the middle of all that, I met a great guy and got married! I'm still a little surprised by that one. (And if you care to go back and read about my stagnant love life, you'll see why....boy did I have a tough time.) But yep, I have a husband now and have been busy adjusting to the new role. I should cut myself some slack as I've only been wed about 4 months now. So far I would say marriage is a lot like I imagine "shacking up" to be. Except there's legal documents binding us together. His name is Dimitri and we're just starting a very long journey together.

I also have a new job, same place but a different office. I'm a communications advisor, which is the direction I've been wanting to head into for a long time now. I'm also the editor of the employee newsletter.  Yay for me! You should see me, interviewing, arranging photo shoots, creating issue lineups and trying to keep my coworkers informed and entertained as best I can. This is what I've been wanting. I hope to excel as I face new challenges (and I mean challenges!) and prove my worth amongst a very talented group of people.
