Lights! Action! Woo hoo!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, miracle of miracles after 6 1/2 weeks, last night I came home and voila! I had lights, power, electricity. So sweet. So, so sweet. Backed up my computer, charged my toothbrush, turned on the lights! As you can see, it doesn't take much to get me excited :-)

This morning after my run, I just automatically put water on the cooker to heat up. It wasn't until I was pouring it into my wash bucket that I realized, "oh duh, I could have used my handy electric wand heater." Apparently they are right when they say it takes 4 weeks to create a habit!

This morning I had an initial job interview (they are interviewing by phone to shortlist who they will fly in for a face-to-face interview). I think it went reasonably well. I'm sure I don't really have any perspective on it, it is pretty difficult to read "the space" over the phone. But, personally, I think I am a very good fit for the job, possibly even a bit overqualified. They are moving pretty fast so I should know in a couple of days if I've been shortlisted. I really appreciate that.

This job is one of 3 opportunities that I will find out about in May. I started getting anxious, wound up, about how would I decide, but then I realized that is just crazy. I don't have any choice to make yet and who knows if I will? But the most effective thing that happened was the other night, my mind was getting all in knots and some part of me just popped up out of the morass and prayed, "God, please help me, when I'm faced with a choice, to follow my heart's desire." And as I said it, I realized that was what I really wanted -- to follow my heart's desire. Not to make the most practical choice or the most lucrative choice or the choice that would be the best for my career or whatever else. No, what I really want to do is follow my heart's desire. Knowing that so clearly is a wonderful tonic for my mind.
