Wow... only 90 minutes left of the week. Even being Saturday it was a little crazy for me. I'm tired but grateful to put this one behind me.

As crazy as it was, things are good. Work wise, life was nuts but more is being put on my plate in a good way. They are changing a bit of my responsibilities and adjusting what I'm doing but I like where things are at and the direction they are going. I know I am doing really well at my job and I know that my boss and others in management know that too.

My fitness group continues to be amazing. Six of us were running this morning at 9:30am. It was nice to see people keeping up with the training. Other than Sunday and golf being canceled Tuesday, I did something with this group the other 5 days this week. Three days of running, swimming on Thursday and dancing followed by drinks on Friday.

Last night was interesting. We had a great conversation while we were out. It was about being shy vs outgoing and building up your own individual confidence. It was interesting to see others perspectives. Plus things that had been said to me on Thursday night and earlier on Friday night too.

I'm always interested in perceptions. And the perceptions now that I am hearing about are pretty cool to me. I've been having people talk about how I am a great leader, how inspiring I am, my confidence, how outgoing I am and how self assured I am. I love hearing what people say when they talk about leadership. That is something I never really saw of myself and never really thought possible.

This group has brought out so much in me and so many new opportunities. I never knew I could be a leader. I have a thriving group of people who want to join us. I have made amazing friends and I put together nights out for us all the time. I have a whole new side of my personality that I didn't realize was there... but here it is, and now it is a main part of me.

I AM outgoing, confident, self assured, driven, and a leader. And I love it!
