A sigh of relief

Tonight I smiled at the sight of my school email inbox. It held an offer of employment and an offer to interview for a short-list for another job (to possibly exist later in the summer). I try not to be defined by these moments, but often so much is invested and riding on them. They have been known to stop me dead in my tracks; now I can continue through them, with contingency plans in place. Those are lessons learned. I can smile at that.
