Change indeed...

My last post on June 30th - over 3 months ago - talked about change.  Well...there has been some change in my working life and it has been a little bit of an adjustment.  More than I would've guessed or suspected but it's been good.

Just working to get a handle on it.

Trying to establish a routine

Wanting to stay out of "The River of Chaos".

In my previous position I often talked to store managers about the need to stay above the fray - out of the river of chaos.  Now that I am back into running a store I can see how easy it is to get caught in the riptides...

Can a river have riptides?

I am discovering the River of Chaos can.

However...I know the answer...don't swim against the riptide - go sideways away from it and then you can get back to shore and start formulating a different plan to navigate the river.

Easier said then done but folks always say,

"Recognizing the problem is the first step."

I have recognized the problem...now to take that second step...
