Last Day

It is my last day at my 6-month contract job. It is bittersweet because although I want to take some time off to do some traveling to figure things out, I grew to like the people I worked with here. I don't know if I'll find a nicer group of people to work with, and they liked me and want me to come back. That's nice, nice to be wanted, needed and appreciated.

I also got used to my routine of going to work, taking the shuttle with the same drivers, sharing an office, going to meetings with my team members, having lunch in the cafe, waving to the shuttle driver on the way home, and arriving at my little abode at six in the evening. Now it is time to say good-bye to that part of my life, have the freedom to do my own thing, and then get right back on the horse later to find another 6-month contract to start anew, fresh and refreshed.

The resident doctor said to me before I left, "Maile, life is long...with many chapters to fill..." Yes, so true. It sent me to tears because it struck a chord, something that I know deep down.

Thank you. Ahhh...I feel strength and faith carrying me through. I know I made the right decision.
