My last day of work. In 4 hours I walk out on the workforce for a while. There won’t be any fanfare here at work which is fine by me. I would rather spend the day posting some blogs, sending a few emails and just having the day pass as normally as any other.

It is surreal to some degree as I have held some sort of job since I was 16 years old. I perceive a lot of my woth through my job and staying at home always had me concerned that I might be sabotaging my ability to return to the workforce and get a good job.

I realize now that instead of a hinderance, I need to empower myself. I need to look at all of the life lessons that I am learning everyday and skills that will translate well back into the workplace and life in general. It really has to do about confidence in myself and my abilities. Just having to train someone else to do my job has been a confidence booster and I realize just how much I know and how much I am able to contribute to an orgnanization due to me broad range of skills.

I have been so blessed in my life and am further blessed with the ability to even have this choice and I husband who supports it. He was so sweet this morning as he said he was really excited for me and thought I would have a lot of fun with Tyler and that hopefully the good days will outweigh the bad ones. And I think they will. I love this age because we can have so many adventures together.

I still plan to blog as much as possible. So many things happen everyday and if I don’t capture them here, I have this fear they will be lost forever. Some things are small and so easily forgotten.

Well, TGIF. Next week I am terming my “project work week” because if you saw all the appointments on my calendar, you would not call it a “week off”. I have managed to schedule in a massage and pedicture though, so I am taking a little “me” time. OK, enough about me, I need to post some Tyler updates…
