Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
In a Bob Dylan state of mind tonight. I'm in the process of processing all the changes that have recently taken place in my life. As we transition into the new month of March I have started a new phase of my life and taken a new job. While you might say a job is a job, I've been lucky enough to say mine has been so much more.
To sum it up I'd have to say I just left a job I loved for a job I am excited about. For the past 3 1/2 year I've had the privilege of working with some truly amazing people that have taught me a lot about life, faith, friendship and myself.
I've coordinated activities for a retirement community of over 100 people that have let me into their homes and lives. I've played a lot of bingo, made a lot of crafts, baked endless amounts of cookies, listened to a lot of songs well before my time but most importantly I've made a lot of memories. Whether they were good, bad, sad, happy or a little bit of everything in between they are all pretty special to me.
I've been blessed to be able to share my life and my boy's life with all of these people. They've watched Cy grow from an 18 month toddler, when I started, into a little boy now in school, and with Sage since before he was even here they shared the excitement and anticipation of his birth. And I found a lot of love and support when Sean followed his dream of opening his own business. From all the special moments to everyday moments we've all shared, it's meant something.
I'm going to miss my circle of co-workers, all special women that have helped show me how to lay the path that I think is so important to balancing work, children and family. We've shared a lot over the last couple of years along with a lot of laughs along the way.
I'm not a person that likes or is good with goodbyes. I do see the new path that is laid out in front of me and for myself and my family it is a direction I want to take. I've gone back and forth whether I was going to write this post and if I could even get myself to type it. For someone that has wrote about almost every aspect of my life for the past year on this blog I thought it was right, it was needed, I had to bring myself to do it. So bear with me for a little of this in between.
I'm looking forward to getting into our new schedule and new routine. I definitely need to get around to updates about my boys and their latest endeavors in life. We have a big birthday, #5 for a special someone right around the corner in March. The times are always going to be changing I'll take with it that's life and be thankful for where it turns.
