In a way I don't mind because I got a lot of writing done--1600 words in my offline journal. Yesterday I wrote over 1300 words in that journal. I tend to turn to that offline journal primarily to preserve e-mail chains and when I need to process stuff that I shouldn't process in an online setting, like work stuff or family stuff.
This week, I've been writing about work changes and the journey towards seminary. In some ways, I could have written about it publicly, but that's often the case. However, there's something exhilarating about writing stuff that very few people are likely to see--but then again, I'm always editing myself, by which I mean correcting grammar and spelling. I tend to write fairly openly whether online or offline, but I also realize that I can do that because I'm older with a life that tends to boring instead of drama.
Yesterday I went back through my blogs to read the posts I had tagged with "discernment." I am astonished at how long I've been thinking about seminary. And in 2019, I did discover Wesley's Theology and the Arts program, but clearly it didn't move me then. I am also amazed at how consistent I've been when I've been thinking about career shifts and the future.
This week at work has been so different than what I was visualizing: it's been a week of announcements of other people's promotions, of the employee handbook for the new company that's buying my school, the stresses that come when a purchase may finally be about to happen. It feels like we've already had a whole week of work, but it's only Wednesday.
