Post Colour

Caught up with the girls I went to Colour 2010 with recently. We're back two weeks and we arrived back from the Sydney Conference buzzing and absolutely pumped. Two weeks on and the regularity of life has taken over and routine has allowed the fire stop blazing but continue to smoulder.

So, what to do? Do we fan the flames by rewatching the videos? Do we settle for a life of mediocrity or has what we learned really had an impact?

I've found I've been bolder in speaking with some people that I have come across. I've had people come in with issues that they think is serious (and in a way it is) but I don't just give the usual spiel but go that step further. I don't know if what I say is any different, better or worse than anyone else. I just have to trust that God will take what He can and use it.

I worked today with one of the guys who has been in my job for nearly 20 years and it was great to see the subtle difference and understanding of a situation based on that experience as opposed to the inexperience of less exposed colleagues. Working alongside someone who has had that exposure is infrequent and welcomed.

The bonus today was having a very good friend and a couple of others whom I knew begin training today so plenty of stuff to look forward to and reminiscing of my starting in my job. No doubt there will be memories sparked by the whole experience so this journey will be interesting.
