March is one of my favorite months. There’s a hint of Spring in the air, holidays like Easter and St. Patrick’s. Now I have another reason to like March.
I resigned from my job today. Have spent weeks agonizing and crying and feeling unsure about Changing after three years but this weekend, with much prayer and dialogue with friends, I realized that the work itself is not a good fit, that my personality and what I do are in sharp conflict. My health has suffered, my sense of optimism was diminished; no amount of positive thinking and working on myself was making the job feel like a great fit. Am glad that I didn’t resign the ’smart’ way by getting a different job first. Was honest with my boss but not overly so, and I have not burned ay bridges. To be honest, these are people I like and want to remain in touch with so why go out in a blaze of glory?
Two more weeks. I’m positive that I’ll be a little sad but there’s relief on my face and in my heart. Sometimes making a decision, ANY decision, is the best way. I can’t let life happen to me, you know? But guess what? I know I made the right decision. Cheerful Anna is NOT just weekend Anna anymore. WOOHOO!
Still have no idea what I am going to DO with myself later, but I plan to take a break now. After St. Patty’s I am going to sleep in, luxuriate in some carefully chosen novels, write, travel a bit, go on mile long walks with Cosy.
I anticipate being Content.
See sleepy Cosy photo below. Doesn’t Cosy make napping look awesome?
