I'm Back And I'm Tagged...




Tiki and Luke Cage Have Brought Me Back To Blogging...

Wow. I've been away from blogging for a while. I felt like I needed to knock on a door or something to get back in here. Or at least, I probably needed to put out some breadcrumbs to find my password to sign in. *lol* I can't even promise with a straight face to do a better job of blogging more regularly. I'll just do it when I can. I never intended to be away from blogging for so long, since I find it to be so therapeutic at times. I've been really busy with work. So after a long day of work and feeling really tired and burned out, it was good to see that folks didn't forget about me in the blogworld. You all are the best.

A lot of things have happened in the way of good news since I last blogged. I finally received my promotion and my senior health policy analyst title. The whole thing is bittersweet though. I know that I should have gotten it years ago under another boss, who retired a couple of years ago. I really fought and suffered to no avail. The promotion was never a means to an end for me as I think my purpose in life is something else. I just wanted to get paid properly. For the longest time it bothered me knowing that other people were getting promoted with half the education and experience. And get this. They would come to me asking for help with their work. Ain't that a blip? A sister was about to get bitter. But anywhoo, I have mixed feelings about my promotion in that although I'm happy to have it, I also have no will to really get mad and carry a grudge anymore about the the struggle and strife I went through. The disappointment was taking too much energy from me and taking too much room in my mind. So now that I've reached this milestone, I just want to focus on other areas of my life and be happy.

Well, let's get this tag business out of the way. So here it goes.

Here Go Da Rules:

1. Put Your itunes/ music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT!!!After you’ve answered all of the questions, tag 5 other people and then let them know they’ve been tagged to do the meme themselves!

** I can't really tag 5 people anymore. I doubt anybody is reading my blog anymore, since I've been on blogvacation.
