Well, I guess my 'This little Word of Mine' for the year is 'change'. And this prompted by a sweet little post over at The Lettered Cottage, a blog I've been kind of reading for a while now.
I'm undergoing a change in my life. It's really funny too because I have claimed 2012 to be the 'year of blessings' and then something happens. Well, it's still a year of blessings..and that is exactly how I see this whole situation. I didn't blog the weekend nor did I put much into the last couple of blog posts either. I've been in the midst of decision making that impacts my whole family.
I quit my job. Isn't that a change? I really did. I was given an option and I did the most unpredictable of things I could have done. I surprised even myself. I prayed about it, reviewed it with my husband and discussed with my direct supervisor. Much thought went into the 3 nights I had to decide. I don't think it is ever easy to make such monumental decisions regarding your life, let alone in a short period of time. This one just happened to work out this way.
I will certainly miss it and the people I've grown to love and cherish. I have enjoyed keeping everyone's calendars, schedules, iteneraries, hotels, conferences and who knows what else! It wasn't an easy learn because my beloved supervisor left me 1 month after I started---out with cancer. I felt totally abandoned but worked to make the very best of the whole unfortunate situation. He is doing well, back to work on a small percentage of time...still on chemo but plugging along. My work then became divided between a few others whom I've grown to love as well.
Everyone on my team is in my prayers and are continually reaching new heights in their careers. I like to think I share a small part of that success...a most humble admission. My job has always been to make my supervisor(s)/team look good. I stand in the shadows in doing so, but there is where I'm quite happy. I'm a great support person for them I'm told and I modestly accept such a compliment.
Where will I end up? I don't know. I've been of the resolve to only work on what is on my plate today and that is what I will continue to do. I'm hoping that I can finally get my home up to par. With these sons of ours moving out and moving back in, I'm afraid the home doesn't look very homey anymore. It's time to get to work on it and once again make it homey. Since the boys are adults now and are almost all out on their own (again), I think I will finally be able to do some things without having to think about it being 'boy/man' friendly. Yep, I'm going girly to some extent but moreover, I'm doing my own thing and it's going to make me happy! I hope Char understands...LOL!
My degree is in interior design and I'm quite creative, artistic and resourceful. Who knows what and where things are going to end up. This is certainly going to be the year of blessings!
