Exhilaration
May 10th, 2007 by lisa
Today was my last day working at the library. I loved this job, and it was hard for me to let it go. I had actually planned to quit in the near future, once we got our new business off the ground. But unfortunate developments, that were completely beyond my control, forced me to quit ahead of schedule. I suppose though, that it was simply time for me to move on, whether I realized it or not. Things have a way of happening when the time is right.
About halfway through my shift today, those wonderful women that I’ve been working with for a little over a year and a half, surprised me with home-made brownies, cookies and other wonderful goodies. There were lots of hugs and I cried (of course). It was so nice to know that I all the work I had done at the library was appreciated and that I would be missed so much. I will miss all of them too. It made me feel a lot better about the past few weeks, because things have been so tough lately. It was very healing and refreshing. I feel like I’m ready to go on now and succeed.
It’s scary to suddenly be cut loose from something that felt like security. But honestly, no employment in this world is truly secure anymore. Paul and I might as well work at making our own security. This is a good opportunity. Why call it scary? Let’s call it exhilarating instead. Change the word, change the reality.
