Today was a step change for me, a day that
saw a few lessons come home to roost and hopefully will see me take the next
step in my road to getting my life back to normal. Lol I love that word normal it can mean so much. When I say normal I mean that I have
hopefully taken the next step in my road to recovery from that very dark place
that I once found myself in.
I have taken step one in getting a dream
job. It is difficult to explain how much
my current job means to me. I think I
have documented it well enough here and elsewhere to explain more. I have never felt so committed to a job,
enjoyed a job so much or got so much pleasure from a job before, especially in
the space of just 6 to 8 months.
I have worked long hours, at times run
myself into the ground but each day I walk across the threshold of my place of
work is as refreshing as the last. What
is different and something new to me is the environment I work in, I have to
say that retail is unlike anything I have experienced before. It is a complete step change for sure after
spending so many years stuck in front of a computer screen, well 25 years to be
precise.
Well having learnt a number of very
important lessons today things are going to change as I am not about to take a
step backwards. I have stuck a stick in the
ground when it comes to my first step in my recovery and that means I am going
to stay committed to my job and my employer so long as they want me. I am not going back to IT period so I am
committed to working somewhere else and the retail industry seems like a very
exciting one for sure.
Things are also going to change on the
blogging front too but more about that later.
Oooooooo what is the change going to be, well that would be telling but
there is a change a foot.
I have also been making changes on the
photography front too. Whilst off I took
a very long hard look at my photography, mainly as I have had to sell a lot of
my equipment but also as I had been holding off on applying to many changes.
As you know I have been trying to apply the
“Keep it simple” approach to things and as it would turn out I have not been
entirely successful but at least I am now more focused and know what I need to do from now on. Whilst I have sold some of the equipment that
I treasured I have now got a plan that will see me focus on my photography and
more importantly photographic projects that will see me portray more of myself and I do not mean that literally.
I am going to complete my NYIP photography course and then
focus on my RPS distinction project and focus on the subjects of architecture
and street photography. Photography has
been my soul mate and it will always be that especially as I am finding it more
and more difficult to express myself openly.
Although I feel good about today I will go
to bed with a lot of questions without answers but I think most will be
answered shortly.
Until next time take care.
