So Long, Farewell

My desk is packed up, cleaned, and ready for the "New Me." It's a bittersweet day. One chapter is closing and another one is opening. I'm excited for the new job but I am also anxious, scared, and nervous of what is to come. I'm keeping my insecurities at bay and keep reminding myself that I am good enough, smart enough, and capable enough.

A girl on my team baked some yummy cupcakes in honor of my last day. Vanilla with vanilla frosting. PERFECTION.


I feel loved. I feel like I made an impact and difference on my teams work life. They've been coming around all morning and giving me hugs and even getting a little teary eyed in their good byes. Makes me get teary eyed in return. (I swear, lately I can cry on cue)



The person I am going to miss the most is my Boss, Susan. She is the reason I don't want to leave. She is by far the BEST boss I have had in my working career. She wrote me an incredible thoughtful card which again, brought me to tears. I think it is safe to say that we will remain friends, and perhaps be even closer now that we are no longer working together. We share a Birthday, which means June 3rd is practically a Holiday. Heart her.



The following quote has been replaying in my mind a lot lately:

"Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."

Now I leave you all with quite possibly the best musical moments in the history of Musical movies. Happy Friday, bloggie friends.

Congratulations on your new position. I remember when I changed positions in February, I felt so weird because I was giving up my old title. Even though I had the same boss, just more responsibility. It's great to challenge ourselves though. I am so happy for you. I totally love your quote as well :) You pretty much rock :) :) :)
