The First Day

What a day!  My first day on a new job.  I kept thinking - this is so weird.  I don't know anyone and I don't know my way around.  I don't know anything!  I would say that felt good about 85% of the time.  It is rather uncomfortable too.  But I relish the discomfort because it means I am out of the rut I was in.

The job is going to be challenging, but I knew that going in.  That will be good too.

Last weekend I told my friends at the running club about the new job... and discovered then that one of my friends from the club lives directly across the street from my new building!  I called her at lunch time and asked her if she could get away (she works from home) for lunch.  We went to a wonderful middle eastern restaurant just around the corner.  It was excellent food and it was nice to see my friend.

There are many more stories to tell, but I am cross-eyed, I am so tired.  I must go to bed.

I am so grateful to be starting a new and exciting job.  I find it exciting to be downtown.  I even like riding the bus.

I will put my head on the pillow in a matter of minutes and before I go to sleep, I will thank God for another blessed day of sobriety.  It is truly amazing what can happen in a sober life.
