I was pretty apprehensive about getting back to work. I started to feel the kind of jitters you get when you are starting a new job (which are intense for me). Would I have enough energy to get through the day? Would it feel overwhelming? Was the project I was working on still as stressful as it was when I left?
I have learned that these kind of “what if” questions bring me a lot of undue anxiety. It is much better to just face what’s in front of me at the moment and deal with it. Once I got to work and got settled, I found there was nothing to worry about. All the awesome people at Threespot were happy to have me back and I was happy to be back.
So I’m taking it one day at a time and working on being in the moment and keeping the new perspective that I have gained in focus. I think beating breast cancer makes work feel easy now, so that’s cool.
Oh also, my friend Hobbs gave me this on my first day back (see below). It’s a hat his talented wife Mira made for me! C’mon, that is really nice right?
What a pretty hat. The knitter rocks, for her talent and her generosity. It looks so
cute on you.
