Back to the Grind

I spent much of yesterday dreading coming back to work today.

It is supposed to rain.

I am once again down to 1 vehicle (I had use of my mothers car for the past week).

I'd have to get up and mobile early (to leave the house before 7 a.m.)

All and all I had assumed I knew how today would unfold.

So as I woke up this morning I got ready for work, had breakfast and gathered up Sara's meals for the sitters house, thinking how cranky she is going to be that I have to wake her up this early... when in walks Sara.

Not only is she up, but she is in a good mood. A sign of the day ahead.

I got her dressed and we left the house 10 minutes early, providing us time to enjoy our walk to the babysitters house.

I dropped her off without any grief and off I went plugged into Jessica's MP3 Player to catch the Ferry to work.

Upon my arrival to the office I was greeted with silence... no one was here. It turns out that a whole lot of people are out of the office, on course or on vacation... today is going to be quiet, a good day to ease back in after a few weeks vacation.

It took me 2 hours to read through my e-mails I missed. I have even managed to reply to some.

I interviewed the Regional Director from Newfoundland & Labrador for my Summer Project this morning. The words that came out of this man's mouth during a town hall I attended in St. John's last year inspired my article Ripples...Waves...Tsunami. I really looked forward to speaking with him this morning about his views on Leadership and I was not disappointed.

Now it is lunchtime already. Time to run some errands. Back to the grind of "scheduled" life.

Tomorrow is another day. There is always more.
