So I logged onto WordPress, thinking about noodling around with a post after sending out a slew of work-related emails and feeling in a state of poetic-paralysis as the Poem-A-Day challenge winds down.
And look! WordPress has a new springtime theme! And it does everything I wanted, and it’s sharp-looking and well-sized and fresh, and I think that finally, my search for a new theme is over! Feel free to tell me you hate it though, or even if your only response is, “Meh.”
But seriously, because I am superstitious and was raised Irish Catholic, I also wanted to make sure I made it clear that although I am feeling a bit overwhelmed still, I am absolutely thrilled with where my career is right now. There are some new developments I’m not ready to post about right now, but I feel incredibly lucky to be doing the work I’m doing, teaching the students I’m teaching, and working with the amazing colleagues I have.
Sometimes in the past five years, as I revised my resume, I would feel a bit panicky, wondering if I had made the right choices, wondering if I would ever reach my main goals. These days, after going through the evaluation processes and really thinking seriously about my career, I look at my resume and think, “Everything I’ve done has been leading me to this place.”
It’s a pretty amazing feeling, I have to say, and I’m trying to remember that even in the middle of these hectic times.
LOVE the theme. I may have to copy you! The theme fits your great outlook perfectly!
I like the theme. I’m glad things are falling into place. Enjoy the spring!
I love it!
Perfect theme.
It’s like this theme was made for me! I’m so glad you all agree. It makes so glad, once again, to be blogging with WordPress, which has rocked my socks more than once.
Anjali, feel free to use it as well, and thanks for the kind words! You are such a good bloggy-friend
