The other day, I wrote a cryptic post about a defining moment that I was hoping to have last Wednesday and that, if all went well, would be the first step in helping me to figure out which way my internal tug-of-war would go.

I am happy to report that the first piece of this so-called defining moment went well.  I did what I needed to do, and I think I did it well.  I was proud of myself, which was half of the battle.  Things were left as I suspected they would be – that is, there are still a couple of more pieces to go before the puzzle is complete.

How the cookie will ultimately crumble is still up in the air, but I am optimistic that I will have some clarity in the next couple of weeks.  If that clarity doesn’t come to me, I will seek it out.  One way or another, I will receive the answer I’m looking for.

In the meantime, unofficial summer is upon us.  It’s hard to believe.  Can we please stop the clock, just for a little while?
