I hate my “new” job.
It’s making me unhappy.
But it’s not just the job bringing me down. It’s a lot of things, and there’s not much I can do about that. I can only hope to find some good things to help balance out the bad things a little better.
So what’s been good lately?
- A tiny bit of justness crept back into the world when a certain someone suffered a “takedown of monumental proportions” (ha-ha).
- I’m reading David Sedaris’s new book and parts of it are laugh-out-loud funny.
- My husband and I went outside the other night to check for the Northern Lights. It’s unlikely we’d ever see them here, even when the sun’s been hyperactive and the sky miraculously happens to be clear, because trees block the horizon all around us. Still, it never hurts to look, and though the aurora was absent, we saw a falling star!
- I recently finished a musical composition, my first since quitting lessons. The night I finished it, I played it for my husband, and then I played it for Livia the next day. I’m shocked at my own willingness to play the piano in front of people who are actively listening, especially when it’s a piece that I composed. Could it be that I’ve grown as a person?
