good golly

 

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?
