My great-aunt used to tell me that time seems to speed up as you get older. I'm going to have to agree with her on that one, because since I've started back to work everything has been a whirlwind. I don't see any slowing-down on my horizon in the near future, either.

Ugggh- I'm tired thinking about it.

I'm starting to see an inkling of energy coming back after having two major surgeries three weeks apart, but not nearly enough to sustain me through the next few months.

As I've mentioned before, my ONLY co-workers will be laid off as of the end of this month. That, of course, will add to my work-load, but even if they weren't laid off- the new processes with our new vendor are going make a huge addition to the time it takes me to do things. I don't mean to sound like a weenie, but I'm a little bit afraid of all of this. How will I possibly manage all of this?

I'll be going on a business trip to Atlanta in mid-April for a week. I was really looking forward to this for many reasons (visiting with my dear friend Phyllis is one!), but I found out today that I have to do User Acceptance Training (UAT) from the first part of April thru the time I'm in Atlanta. There are 6 roles to be filled by 'my team' for UAT, some of them are to be done concurrently and some require an all-day commitment. Yes, that's right- up to six people at the same time doing different things.

Lessee, last I've heard cloning was illegal.

Other things are 'a-brewin' that I can't really write about right now. I will say that the timing is remarkable, and it's giving me lots of things to ponder. I have a feeeeeling that I'm going to have to put my money where my mouth is, when it comes to what I've been touting as my belief system for a very long time. I might have to put up, or shut up- so to speak, and that whole idea has me quaking in my boots a little bit too. It's easy to say what you believe, but actually putting your beliefs into action- especially the big ones that could make or break you in a big way financially- really require a huge leap of faith.

Especially when there is another person counting on your income...

Yup, I have lots to ponder right now. The one thing I know for sure- my gut has never steered me wrong in business. EVER. I know that when the things are right for my 'vision' to happen, I'll know it without a doubt. I just hope I'm brave enough to make that leap.

This post is getting long, but I have a really great story (or 10) to illustrate this point. I'll save that for tomorrow. It's a pip.
