Happy news



Today’s entry is probably one of the most specials… My best friends, my soul mate, my sister and one of the loves of my life is in labor. I’ll kill to be by her side right now, sharing this moment. I have told you about her multiple times… She got married 5 years ago and since then she’s been going thru so much… She has been suffering anxiety attacks and depression. I’m honored to say we fought that together. 

I remember when I first realized I needed professional help but was so scare to go to a consultation… I told her and I didn’t even asked her, she said she’ll pick me up from work. And so she did. We walked together to the doctors, we waited patiently, she held my hand and waited for me outside. She’s been every step of my recovery process.

One of her sources of pain and anxiety was having a baby. Today she is having a baby. All of her fears are gone; she is exited and can’t wait to see his little face. Neither can I. So far she is only 6 cms, epidural on and trying to get some rest. I didn’t call and I’m trying not to disturb every 5 minutes but it’s really hard. 

I pray for her and her baby to be Ok. I know they will be but just in case I made sure she understood I was by her side and that I loved her. It made us cry, but those are happy tears, well deserved ones if you ask me. These tears are a gift, they prove you can make it through anything. You can kick depression and anxiety if you keep fighting. As it turns out they’re weaker than what you thought.

Realizations

It wasn't until Friday by the end of the day that I started on a brief that contained a lot of research and writing. Doing the research I kept thinking how things didn't change much from the things I was doing at the other office except for the crazy schedule, the lack of healthy food and not seeing my husband.

Then I started typing my file conclusions. It felt so good.. I was enjoying every word of it. The time I spent on the writing felt like minutes, seconds... I was doing what I love. The moaning transformed into happiness I was being proud and enjoying being a lawyer.

I don't know how long it will last (the feeling or the job) but I intend to make the most of it. Learn, grow, enjoy the beautiful things, avoid focusing on the bad stuff and keep on walking.

Have a good one!

New beginnings

Hello there!! I've been working at the new firm for five days. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are not very friendly.. They're all men, being the only woman I'm walking on eggshells in order to not hurt any sensibilities. I wish someone had stopped for a minute to explain how things work. I'm figuring out myself but it's taking longer... Schedule is crazy and every single minute of the day has to be explain in a data base in order to control if we are being productive. 

Oh well!! Beginnings are always hard. What really keeps me going is knowing how proud my dad is of me. I just feel it. 

Have a great day guys!!
