I happen to work for a dragon. As one who truly understands myths and fairy tales knows, dragons are not all bad. This one happens to be very good actually. He is just…so large and sometimes I feel so very small. Small only because I feel so diminished by wrestling some very large inner demons.

Something I have taken to heart though was this: the dragon told me today that he thinks this is my last year for feeling this helpless, this over burdened with funk. He could see my trajectory leading me away from helpless and towards power.

He said he was not disappointed in me at all…and that’s a lot coming from a dragon that just happens to be sitting next to a weeping maiden.

It’s really good to not get swallowed up by such an impressive creature.
