90 days ago was the start of something new and exciting.

Since then, it’s turned into something far more than that: rewarding, challenging (in that awesome my-brain-hurts-because-it’s-being-used-with-regularity sorta way), balancing, centering and fulfilling are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing it.

It’s full of data, measurement tools, analyses and reporting. It’s full of new words, not to mention a new language that I try to speak more fluently with each passing day. Its people are some of the brightest I’ve ever met, not to mention kind, helpful, chill, inquisitive, respectful and fun.

It’s made me feel re-energized, re-engaged and rejuvenated. When I reflect on where I felt I was and where I feel I am now, yes — I rejoice, because I feel more relaxed than ever.

“It” is the job I began back in March, and it has provided me with a new lease on life. Tonight I am thankful for it, for the new chapter I began and had hoped would be as good as I thought it would be, and for the spirit-renewing aspect that has come with it.

When I first started, I was told that I would pinch myself every day and wonder if the place was for real. 

I’m thrilled to report that it is.
