Another blog, another entry, another chapter is closing, another last day of work.
My new favorite thing to tell old friends "Well I broke up with my boyfriend of four years, I quit my job, and I am going to Europe. " I love the shocked looks I get. But I always have to tell them that this is a good. I am constantly having to remind myself that. This is God's will. I need to follow that. I know it seems extreme, but I finally in a good place right now. I needed to get everything out of my life that wasn't making me happy, get out of all the places that I don't quit fit.
There is a place for me. I know it. I have felt that click before. I am not expecting too much. I just have to find that...and there in lays the problem. Finding it....
I can't quite believe that all of this has happened so quickly. Today has been very weird. The whole week has actually. I basically turned in a 6 week notice. My boss and I worked out a deal for me to stay on until the new girl comes in. I needed the money for Europe and she needed someone to work. So now I am sort of in denial about leaving. It doesn't seem real. I am not ready to leave. I know there are reasons, valid reasons for leaving, but it has been a kind of peaceful 6 week notice. I don't have a whole lot to do and I don't have to worry about pleasing anyone so I can relax.
Yesterday I trained my replacement. That was weird. It was good that I know things will be taken care of, but still very weird. It was almost like I still was going to be here with her always. I was apart of the group!
And now on my last day...everyone is stopping by to wish me luck. Everyone has been so nice. It is a sad last day. My department gave me a whole bag of snacks for Europe that included my favorite breakfast my Zone Bars! They know what I like. Another lady got me clothes pins because she is always giving me suggestions for Europe and that is one of her good suggestions...clothespins to dry your clothes on! How neat. I don't even care that I didn't get money or anything, this was a very sweet thoughtful gift that I will always remember!
And apparently the word has not quite made it around to everyone. I am just now having to tell people what I am doing and where I am going. I sort of have the same line. It is going to be so fun. Once in a lifetime trip, my dream always...etc, etc. etc. I love talking about it, but I am kind of getting a little sick of telling it.
But people want to know. They are intriguded. I actually have an interesting life. I am not just sitting comfortable around the house. I am actually getting out and doing it. It is very scary, but I am excited. I just have to pray to God and trust Him.
