And remember, too, you don't have to LOVE your job, not all the time. (I always raise an eyebrow at people who gush, "I love my job." Hmmm...) Egads, the self doubt thing goes along all the time with people who care about their work. But when you leave work, leave it behind, detox on your way home in the car with good music (or good silence).<br /><br />As for discovering ARC, cool, huh? Good for you and all the reading you manage to squeez in! How do you do it? I haven't read Middlesex but maybe I will...and will stop in to see what you all think of it. <br /><br />and now to attack a ms that needs to be finished today! (yikes, wrestling with self doubt on writing this one. See? it always pops up. Sigh.) OK, back to "work."Ohhttp://westcobich.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11791615740754400922010-03-12T17:00:25.517-06:002010-03-12T17:00:25.517-06:00I was so happy to read your blog today - and espec...I was so happy to read your blog today - and especially to hear that a client gave you that compliment!

I get a lot of positive feedback when I work hard and do a good job. <br /><br />I love the thoughts you listed at the end. I should probably get that book.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-39008593216840758042010-03-12T11:33:01.517-06:002010-03-12T11:33:01.517-06:00Thank you so much for sharing that poem - it's...Thank you so much for sharing that poem - it's so beautiful and so true.<br /><br />I'm glad you're feeling a bit more positive about your work - that's really great!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567884062638788962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-80311949801471180942010-03-12T10:59:22.600-06:002010-03-12T10:59:22.600-06:00Beautiful poem, this line really stands out to me:...Beautiful poem, this line really stands out to me:<br /><br />"don't take it personally - it's not usually about you."<br /><br />SO true. In my experience, when people lash out or are overly critical it's a problem with THEM not YOU. <br /><br />I'm glad you're feeling better and I just KNOW that you can and WILL excel at your job!

I am considering purchasing that book - because every time you post a poem from it..I love it! <br /><br />Just looking at all the great comments you received is proof of how blessed you are, Lisa. You truly are an accomplished and great person. And on top of it all -- you are VERY loved!! <br /><br />Enjoy your weekend! Try to get some relax-time in! I love you!!

Everything doesn't have to be fine all the time (and pretending doesn't make it go away). But, knowing that things will get better is just as important as letting your guard down.<br /><br />And Middlesex? I read it years ago and was one of the few people who hated it. Well, hate is a strong word. I really didn't like it, though.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-28786685886429700132010-03-12T07:59:31.495-06:002010-03-12T07:59:31.495-06:00What great words.

I know you can excel at anything but it always helps to get some positive feedback (and a high five, is always fun). <br /><br />Here's to conquering Friday and having an aweseome weekend.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840515813374990142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-21663397395575583942010-03-12T07:21:50.226-06:002010-03-12T07:21:50.226-06:00I love this!
