Thank you for waking me up this morning
Inspiring me to look outside
And within
To find strength
In a place of loss
Counting off the hours
Assigning rituals
To minutes
Pointless
But grounding me here
Documenting
My wake
My wash
My wait
My words
Gluing memories to the page
Reminding me to stay in place
My goals are getting clearer and nearer. Next year sees me back in a library and studying for a librarianship qualification. I’m still doing administrative work during the week and applying for a research post. I recently interviewed for an elearning post; I was unsuccessful but got great feedback about the projects I’ve been involved with. The feedback resulted in an interview for a PhD studentship in my current workplace, but I couldn’t commit to the timeframe. Which, in turn, nudged me back to applying for a part-time spring role in Brighton. What a happy coincidence.
I have also moved house, I’m back to living in a (small) city again and it feels fantastic.
