Today is my last day at work, and yes, it is bitter-sweet. It is a beautiful day of about 70 with spring in the air. I'm about to leave for Florida and my things are packed. And even though I know I'll be okay, and have plenty of work as a freelancer, it's the newsroom people I will dearly miss. I knew I would miss my close friends here - Cleve and Jessy in particular - but there were others I didn't expect that I'm just now realizing how much I'll miss them.
Today, one of the editors I work with told me I'm "just about the nicest person she's ever met" in all sincerity. Then she gave me a beautiful little hand-thrown pottery flower holder with flowers and a card. Practically made me tear up.
On the other hand, I'm rather excited to be leaving. I'm ready to travel again and make my own schedule. I also have that thrill of expectation. Like standing on the edge of a cliff and peeking over to see what's at the bottom - and whether or not you'll jump. It's the fear and joy of the unknown. So many possibilities. Sort of like being single after being in a relationship for a while. Or maybe that's just the way I feel...lol
Also, I'm hoping very sincerely to make it abroad soonish. I miss Europe something terrible and I really, truly want to see some of the beautiful cities in southern Spain.
So, I'm sure I'll have updates from Florida, but until then....
