Smoke and Foam (No Mirrors)

Moving here, there and everywhere.

It’s almost Thanksgiving, which may include staying at home and awaiting a Noah’s Ark variety of family members (and their pets) showing up or bravely traveling away from home for a short holiday vacation. Either way, relaxation will inevitably be intercepted by stress at certain points the next few days and it’s important to anticipate this predictable chaos. There’s no magic escape to this reality. It could be cooking the turkey, parking everybody’s cars to comply with local laws, keeping screaming children quiet or ensuring the dinner conversation remains lighthearted and friendly (unless you’re celebrating Festivus). This way, whatever does arise out of nowhere can be resolved with the greatest demonstration of tranquil multitasking anybody has ever seen.

Well, second best…

Here’s to trying Kramer’s bar magic this holiday (sniff, sniff – if you know what I’m saying).

Three Letters Await

In less than 12 hours, I will earn my Master of Business Administration (MBA)!

Tonight is the last class. The endless papers, citations, quizzes, tests, presentations, readings and academic problem-solving will finally come to an end after 16-months of relentless work. No breaks were taken and (at this point) it stands to be a worthwhile decision. Despite my eyes being a little blurred and my fingers worn from typing, the feeling of relief and achievement is now only hours (not weeks or months) away from coming to fruition.

Like the final pages of my final textbook, this chapter can finally be closed.

My regular life can finally return from its almost year-and-a-half long hiatus. Not only this, but there are a few other special things occurring right now that are almost perfectly coinciding with this moment.

New chapters that don’t require an over-priced textbook will begin and continue.

It’s now time to master the important things in life…

Happy Monday!

As a new work week begins, it can be therapeutic to speak one’s mind freely in a way that will not result in punishment. This type of setting will vary for everybody. Just think of it as an exercise of releasing the frustration of losing that precious freedom from the weekend that is now only visible in the rear view mirror.

Also, timing is everything!

Have a Dam(n) Good Week!
