Let’s get physical

It’s amazing. Either life is chaotic and boring (not the good boring either) or completely insanely chaotic and wonderful.

Guess which mine is right now…

Approximately a month ago, I started a new job. It’s not in the field I spent almost a year looking in, nor is it one that will provide the financial security I sincerely desire, but it does require and utilize extensive customer service skills, and boy do I have that in spades. It’s also sort of an inside sales position. For a national, women’s only, gym-type thingy. You know the one.

I find it rather giggle worthy that I’m now working for a fitness facility. Me. The woman who doesn’t exactly shy away from physical activity, per se, but seriously lacks the discipline to stick with any exercise regime for very long. But hey! Now I’m getting paid to work out. Talk about incentive!

Money aside, I like my job. I like the ladies I work with (now there’s a shocker). I even like our clients. I just don’t like feeling as if I’m being pulled in so many different directions that I can’t tell which way’s up anymore.

There are deadlines to meet for stories I’m still trying to write, family reunions we’re hoping to attend, and vacations we need to find time for, just to name a few. We’ll discuss the rest of that list at a later date. There are also friends to whom I owe a debt of gratitude I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully repay.

This past month has been very enlightening on many levels and has forced me to rethink quite a few long held beliefs in order to work towards the future I want. Not that that’s bad or anything, but all changes come with decisions which need to be made, and plans that need to be implemented.

Life truly is what you make of it, and mine is completely insanely chaotic and wonderful.
