Times they are a Changin'



I am getting ready to hit a cross roads in my life. I will be leaving my current position and moving to a new company. I am not taking a "different" position, just the same job in a new company.


I have been in search of something different for a while now and it seems odd to actually be going somewhere new. I have been with my current company for a little over a year. It has had its good moment and its bad moments. But it seemed that my stress level has had more bad than good.


I am looking at this new position as an opportunity to do change everything. I don't mean my hair or my style. No those will stay in place. But my attitude, my confidence, my temperament, my outlook, they are all getting a make over. This is not my ultimate end goal job. But it is the closet step in the right direction that I have had. I am embracing it, smiling at the big guy up stairs, and saying a mighty big "Thanks!"


It's been a long journey to get here. I actually wasn't sure that they were going to bring me on board. I had met with everyone from this very small staff, and my last meeting had me questioning if this is what I wanted. But I consulted my most trusted advisors, and did some major soul searching. After gathering all of there information and weighing it I was able to reconcile in my head what I knew was an amazing opportunity.


I will be giving notice when my boss returns from a retreat on Monday. I don't know if he will keep me on for 2 weeks or if he will ask me to leave that day. I guess I will find out when I speak with him. He has given me some opportunity, and yet I feel like he doesn't trust me, or like me for that matter. I could be wrong, but I am generally a good judge of a person.


So, here is to me! Success, Passion, and Love (the later to follow soon I hope).

PS I love flowers... The majestic nature of the lone flower is amazing. I also believe that they have symbolism. The Hawthorne (pictured above) is a symbol of Hope and Prosperity.
