My last day of work...

Today was my last day at work. I know what you are thinking -- it must have been wonderful! And while it does represent our personal pursuit of a dream, it was also sad in many ways. Coming to Atlanta meant moving further away from family and leaving behind close friends. I've always welcomed change and believe firmly that you are in Life where you need to be. The last thing I expected, however, was to meet so many truly special people in this new place. I couldn't help it...I felt sad. I had several reasons to do so...I found in one place a handful of people I grew to respect and care for -- People who gave me great advice, who valued me, who made me laugh, who 'got' me, and who inspired me to be better. It's a special thing when you find that.
