Leaping lizards

Today was the last day of my first three weeks, meaning probation period #1 is over. I’m back for another four weeks - yay and hooray.

Have I mentioned I like it? That there’s nothing better in the whole freakin’ world than getting paid to do what you love? And to be challenged to get better and better at what you love ... totally golden.

I know it’s not easy. It took me until I was 37 to realise I had to do something, and that was only because I felt tortured by the parts of the world I hated. I was almost 39 when I defined my goal and took the leap of faith to grab it. I don’t know how to make it easy for you. It’s probably the same process as finding a lover – get out, meet lots and lots of people, and feel a lot of love in your heart.

I might sound naïve to mention ‘love’, but without it you’re fucked. Or, if you’re looking for a lover, not fucked, if you’ll pardon the vulgarity. Love – openness, optimism, faith, belief ... you’ve got to find something.
