As I left my "new" job on Friday, bittersweet thoughts filled my mind. Even though a very short chapter of my life has ended I am left with memories and thoughts that I would never have imagined I could or would ever have. The work, well, that was okay. Doing Medicare referrals was something completely different from every other nursing job that I had held. It was my first office position, with a desk, a copier and even a water cooler. Quite different from the dog-eat-dog world of floor nursing, insulin injections and the basic hospital environment. Pretty cool it was.
But what I will miss the most, is the wonderful people that I had met along the way. Some pretty good friends were made along the way, one or two ...very, very special ones. So, as I walked out of the building, to my car, I wasn't filled with child-like excitement of someone who was about to "not have to go back to work Monday," but instead with bittersweet feelings of missing those who have grown so special and a new chapter of my life about to begin. As I end this part of my "today's" post, please remember that we do not always choose the people who will enter our lives and most times, they will enter spontaneously, without us knowing the reasons for their purpose at the time. Value each friendship that God gives you the chance to nurture, and value the time spent together, whether laughing, griping or sharing stories of your kids. Don't question the "whys" but just sit back and enjoy.
And now that I have probably confused most of my 4 readers....
Until the next time,
