Foreshadowing

(From Monday, April 6, 2009)

I have to start by saying it is absolutely beautiful outside. These are the kind of Spring mornings I live for! It’s supposed to be in the mid-70’s today and yesterday was like a mild summer day. Bring on the short shorts and tank tops!

Brett and I had an amazing day snowboarding at Timberline Saturday. Until you crash into a foot or more of powder you haven’t lived! The perfect day for Brett to celebrate his 10 week anniversary of breaking his collarbone.

I had an unusual email waiting for me this morning. I signed up for these motivational quotes to be emailed daily- this was like a few years ago. They’re usually waxing poetic on fortune cookies and the like- just a little dose of wisdom to start the day. Today’s was odd- instead of the small font and three quotes semi-imbedded into a newsletter it was one quote in big bold print with nothing else attached:

“Nothing changes until something moves.”
Wow. Hit me like a ton of bricks. Lately I’ve been at a crossroad. My job has the potential to turn into something awesome but so far it has not hit the mark. There’s been too much drama, too little of management holding up their end of the deal. Do I wait it out and hope things get better? Suffering in the meantime?
Or do I move and create change? I have several opportunities waiting for me but until I do something, stir the pot a bit, nothing will change.
Today will be interesting... I’m coming out ahead of this one. Guaranteed.
