Change is Good #TheRunningWriter
Reality hit me between the eyes yesterday and today, and I suspect by this Sunday, my actual last day of work, I’ll shed some tears (of happiness) as I step into the next adventure of my life: Writing full time and helping my sweet hubby run Cadence Performance Coaching.
The picture above is of my weekday bookstore volunteer team. I’ve been with these guys for more than nine years. Living life, facing struggles, successes, and now, retirement. It’s been a great ride with them and I love them dearly.
This weekend I’ll say goodbye to my weekend bookstore and coffee shop volunteers and the staff I’ve served alongside for more than 9 years. It’s hard to think that much time has gone by, and it’s hard to put how I’m feeling into words, despite my being a writer! LOL.
Maybe I’ll write a novel about it…as long as I can make one of the characters a vampire, right?
I’m thankful for every day I’ve been able to serve at my job. It’s been an honor and a privilege.

Top Five . . .
It’s the last week of 2010, so I’m looking back over the year. It’s nice to take time to reflect a little, because I think we can grow from each and every experience, whether it was good or bad.
I’ve had a few bumps this past year like most of you, but I try to look at the good things that happened. It kind of keeps the negative ones in check, you know?

So . . . . Number FOUR is:
I got a dream job!
Some of you might have known that over the last 18 months or so, I’d had about a total of six months of unemployment.Yeah, not so fun.
But this past November, I got a job that fits me perfectly: Bookstore Assistant.
Other than writing full time, what better job could there be for a writer, right? *smile*Even though I started the job during one of the busiest times in retail, I couldn’t be happier. It’s such a fulfilling job and one I never expected, just three short years ago, I would ever enjoy.
Funny how things work out, huh?

So, what’s your number FOUR?
