There are some curious quirks in most of us---little telltale signs that never seems to fail. For me it has always been the absentminded clearing of my office space. Over the years I have found that if I start clearing my office my exit from said office is imminent.
In July I started clearing my office, stopped in mid-stream and stated that “Oh no, not again.” I turn to a coworker and explain that every time I get into a cleaning frenzy at my office I left. True to form a number of things started happening and before I know it I was resigning.
It was hard to do since I had started a project that I was close to and wanted to see it through, but life had other plans for me. Surprisingly, the main reason I resigned is no longer an issue, so I will not be going away for as long as planned. However, in hindsight it was just the right time to say goodbye and move on, not only for me, but for my former place of employment. While I was a part-timer, my replacement will be a fulltime member of staff. This will move the project along perfectly.
For me, God really had other plans for my life. I had a few offers and have settled on one that I know is the perfect fit for me. It’s rare that someone can hardly wait for the weekend to end so that they can get back to work. But that is how I feel right now. After a few days orientation, I will be allowed to travel --- I still need to do that. However, on my return, it’s back to the office.
Change is inevitable, it’s a part of life and we should be willing to embrace it; I always see new beginnings – a chance to refresh oneself. I strongly belief that we need to know when it is time to say ‘goodbye’ no matter how hard it is.
