I as sit here awake at nearly 4:30 a.m. I went down the Internet rabbit hole after posting a weather alert for the newspaper website. I realized I’m learning to love the life again. That “hectic, crazy, you may have to be up at all hours” life, again.

After two years on the “dark side” as those of us in media call it, it was a rough transition coming back into the “light” where sometimes your time isn’t really yours and sleep, well that depends on the weather radio or police scanner.

It’s been a beautiful transition. I’ve seen myself grow professionally and personally. I’ve seen the staff grow professionally. I’ve seen the newsroom change and grow.

Beautiful.
