"I will be perfect"

...were my exact words to my boss last night when asked why I was still at work after 7p.m.
And later, as I was leaving the building, my department chair said she sensed a more driven, focused person coming back to work.

I will be perfect.

just one more morning
I have to wake up with the blues
pour myself out of it
put on my walking shoes
go up on the mountain top
to see what I can see
the whole world is fallin
right down in front of me...

cause I got dreams, yeah dreams to remember.
I've got dreams
dreams to remember.

After a long bike ride, I sat in the quiet house and enjoyed the last few hours of my fleeting summer. I accomplished everything I set out to do and now am ready for the next chapter or season of my life. Too bad life wasn't more like work in that you can prepare for what comes next.

Still, I will strive to push myself even more physically, mentally, intellectually and emotionally. I am taking my losses in stride and am trying to focus on the accomplishments. I am rewiring myself and making changes; purging all the old and starting new.

I will be perfect.


Let the new chapter begin...

Pull myself together
Put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop baby
Oh I get back in the race
Cause I've got dreams oh dreams to remember.

I've got dreams yeah dreams
to remember.
