Promotion

Hi,

It's been a crazy week. I will post entries as they happened.

On Thursday, I was offered a promotion/new job. I accepted the opportunity and I start on February 7th. The interesting thing is how this challenged me.

I have two weeks remaining at my present position. In these two weeks, I also get to hear the biopsy results for the lump I had removed and speak with a specialist about another tumor I have. I am challenged by all of this because the results have the potential of creating havoc with my work life for the next little while. I am challenged because I have been faced with a difficult situation. If I continue with this promotion, I could be seriously ill, creating absence at my new work, which doesn't start me off in a good place. Or I could potentially turn down the promotion, stay where I am, and not be sick and have missed out on an excellent opportunity.

I have decided at this point to continue with the promotion. As a good friend has told me, I can't put my life on hold because of something that may or may not be there. I have to live my life as if I am fine. Because that is simply all I have.

Thanks for reading.
*******Jan 26th 2010- Update:  Everything is clear in the latest biopsy. I can now look forward to my new position with a lot more excitement! Thanks for reading!****
