Yesterday was my last day at work.  I punched out for the last time- and punched out early.  I didn’t expect to be emotional, but I was a little bit.

 I’ve forgotten that before the stress and pressure of the job got to me, there were good times.  And when I first started, I did enjoy it.  The joy has been gone for a long time now.  But becoming a little emotional reminded me of the good times.  I needed that. 

It’s hard to be a working mother and I’m extremely grateful for the chance to be a stay at home mother for awhile.  It’s not permanent- and we are taking a chance in thinking I will find something else by the time Aaron starts school full-time.  I’m looking for a nannying position- something that I can take Walker to.  And I have until August. 

Every morning on my way to work for the past two weeks I saw a sign on a church that said “faith is taking the first step when you can’t see the whole staircase.”  So my first step has been taken.  And instead of worrying and stressing about what’s going to happen now, I’m choosing to look at this as an opportunity.  I now have a chance to decide what I really want to do.  I can explore different avenues open to me and everything is open to me now. Here’s to the future!
