one year later

i have officially been an employee here
for one year.

some days it seems like
i've been around a whole lot longer than that.

other days, i still feel like the new girl
who is just getting the hang of things.

regardless, {not to be confused with 'irregardless', which happens to not be a word...seriously} i feel like i have a really great job. i enjoy what i do - even when i'm so busy that i can't seem to think straight. i genuinely like the people i work with. i've created some pretty good friendships here - ones i hope will last far beyond my working career.

but i feel pretty lucky.
and yet, lucky doesn't seem to be quite the right word.

i am blessed to have such a great job and work with such great people. i have learned so much in the last 365 days. and looking back, i find it wonderfully comical at how well things have worked out for me. sure, there have been moments of frustration. and a few hard times here and there... but the good definitely out-weighs the bad. and how can i be upset about that? i've been treated far better than i deserve. after all, i am just a twenty-something girl who has a lot to learn.

so, pathway of mine, thank you for leading me here. i appreciate the opportunities and the lessons i've learned. thanks for not leading me astray.
