Hello Everyone,
It's been quite the day. After 6 months of hating my job progressively more each day, I walked out today. With no other job lined up and limited resources in the bank, I quit. As I was gathering my stuff my head was yelling 'hey, HEY, what are you doing???' but my heart was singing Halleluah Chorus.
And you know what I'm feeling tonight? A tiny twinge of fear that accompanies uncertainty but mostly the HUGEST sense of gratitude. Because as several people have commented, I've taken a leap of faith and opened my life up to allow good things to come in.
For over a year I kept a gratitude journal. Even when my mom and Tyler died, I was able to find things for which to be grateful. I kept it while my marriage officially ended. I kept it while I was struggling to find a job and a place to live in Knoxville. But after a month on my last job I was unable to write FIVE things every day for which to express my gratitude.
Losing Susan has reminded me that life is short. Life is precious. Entirely TOO short and too precious to surrender my gratitude. So. Tonight I turn my face forward - towards good things.
Including a return to my gratitude.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am grateful you did. I hope your life is filled with a sense of gratitude. Tis the season.
Be Blessed, Dear Friends. I know I am.
