Transition is time for reflection

As much as we complain about the daily grind and mundane nature of work and life sometimes, it is interesting how we feel when we arrive at a transition. 

It is nearly the end of June. Tomorrow is the last session of the SQL class I have been delivering for the last seven weeks. It’s been a good run, and I know I have delivered value for the participants. I have looked forward to class every week. That said, it will be nice to have my Saturday mornings back.

I am also transitioning from one role to another with my client. The new role is a manager role that should be interesting. I’m ready for a change and a challenge.

A transition is nothing to be afraid of. It’s a good time to reflect. Tally up the accomplishments. Analyze decisions, mistakes, failures and not dwell on them but learn from them. 

Project Food as Fuel is humming along. I have been branching out and testing the boundaries of how my body reacts now that I am two months in. 

I’m taking a brief pause this weekend for some self reflection during this transition. After that, I will be geared up and ready to bring on what’s next.
