My new job keeps me very busy.  It’s not only the job that is keeping me busy lately.  Work, kid’s, the kid’s activities: homework, sports, band, projects.  It’s life at its best and it takes a shitload of work.  Work I NEVER would have been able to accomplish if I was still using.  Things I never imagined I could handle.  My stress level is remarkably low and other than my messy house and the seemingly insurmountable pile of laundry calling my name every time I walk in the door things are going well.

My new job is an open door.  Not only will it enable me to get various other jobs in the computer industry, I learn so freaking much everyday sometimes I think my brain is going to explode.  I haven’t had to use my brain this much in a long time; I can literally feel my brain rewiring itself.  Memorizing random strings of numbers and letters (a skill I once excelled in) is coming back.  Being able to see how an issue someone is having is in reality related to several smaller issues and in turn how they are all connected is starting to become second nature (again, a skill I thought I had lost.)

When you stop trying to control everything in life it begins to take care of itself.
