Life is messy.

I can’t deal with messy.

I like things neat and tidy, where everything has a place and all variables are known. I have proven time and time again, especially with this past year’s graduate leadership training, through Myers-Briggs and Kiersey tests and even a Joe Butt report, I am a flaming, off-the-charts Type A personality.

Just when I think I have my life under control and compartmentalized, someone, some event – or both – comes along and plays fifty-two pick up with my life’s tarot cards, while I am stuck sitting in the center watching them slowly fall all around me as if trapped in a snow globe.

This time, the mess is caused by both – an event and a someone.

Both could change my life – and, both already did.

But, here I am again. In the gray, sticky, complicated, and unknown part of life.

    Josie - I hear you. Nothing is better than order. I remember how neat you were - it's a great attribute. Speaking of Myers-Briggs, we took that at work. Quite insightful, to say the least......

      My first Myers-Briggs in college said I would do well as a bus driver...NO LIE.
      Lately, the idea of being a bus driver doesn't seem so bad...

      Speaking of neat...
      remember cleaning the basement at the old 333?
      I think I have that photo somewhere...

      MISS YOU!!!
