week in review

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ~Theodore Roosevelt

as I approach my last day at TSGT, the days seem to be flying by at warp speed. two days. 16 hours. that’s all I have left. I hope to spend the time begin present — savoring my final minutes and enjoying the company of amazing coworkers while also coming to the place of acceptance that this chapter of my life is actually ending. I’m so very excited for my new job and opportunities, but I anticipate a lot of difficult goodbyes in the coming week.
