working is a habit

today i got a bad case of anxiety. i'm afraid i won't hit my outcomes. or maybe, that i won't hit them as strong as i usually do. i can't get stuck on the things i can't change. i can't get trapped into wishing what could have been done differently, because i have been dropped off in the start and thick of the academic school year.

today i had a great moment with the young people at one of the sites. i know things start off slowly in the beginning. i try to tell the students to be patient and the program will grow. i think i repeat this, so i can remind myself.

i'll admit, i felt the panic kick in. hmm.. interesting, that just as i was feeling it, upon returning to my desk.... two people contacted me. one text. the other a surprise phone call. could it be, they felt that chaos building from where they were? whatever the reason, i am grateful.

there are some amazing things happening to womyn in my life. on the job front, they are soaring and kicking major.... yeah..... you know. can one of them, all of them.. touch me on the arm, so i can get some of that? i just have to find my own footing, as someone so eloquently put it. footing it is.

let it begin for me, too
soon.

good night world.
