Relections On The Week

It has been one week since I arrived here in NLR and what a week it has been. To say it has been interesting would be an understatement. When I made the decision to come here, I had not a clue at how profoundly different my life would be once I arrived. The outlook for the future is much brighter today than I thought it could be just weeks ago when the news of the properties closing in Dallas first came out. I have not felt this alive and inspired in quite some time. The management and staff have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and part of the family. I could not ask for better accommodations than the one they have provided for me. The level of comfort and cleanliness is far above that of the property where I resided in Dallas and the working conditions I have here are so superior that they cannot be compared. It is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made in a long, long time. I am once again being intellectually stimulated and challenged with my knowledge base and skill set expanding on a daily basis. I am getting much more comfortable with the accounting and computer systems and the rationale behind the processes we use. I have had many interesting encounters with the various guests staying with us and some we could not allow to do so. While admittedly life is not perfect, it comes a lot closer to the idea of perfection than I have experienced in quite some time and the adventure is just beginning. I am happy to be here, although I miss some of my friends in Big D, I would not trade where I am now for where I was there. I am sure there will be misadventures along the way, for how else could one appreciate the good if there were not something not so good to compare it to. I am making new friends and having many learning experiences on a daily basis, I am sure in time the massive amount of data being input into my brain will slow as I assimilate the skills necessary to perform my assigned tasks at the level I would prefer but that is to be expected. I feel once again I have a future life rather than just a meager existence. I have peace of mind and am highly motivated to continue the upward trend that was initiated just one week ago. That puts me in a very good place and I look forward to sharing my further adventures with you all here on the pages of Nichevo. I do not have to work today sop I will rest and recharge for the new experience of the coming week. I want to say thank you to all of you who have written, IM'ed, called or otherwise transmitted your encouragement this week, you guys Rock! I leave you with some fine photos for the eye candy section and we will catch you here tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
