I started my new life today

Standing at 7:00 in the morning at the sink cutting tops off of strawberries,

in my crisp white bathrobe with the sunshining through the window...

everything is all a glow.

Yesturday I said goodbye to my carreer after 7 years.

Today we surrender my dads ashes into the ocean

I am saying goodbye to a chapter in my life when my fathers health

and my grief dictated the steps I took and work was out of function not out of love.

As I stand at the sink all a glow I hear in the background a song play

"It's all about you,

Everymorning that you wake

before the first steps that you take

Just think its all that you make it

and you'll make it through"

All of the sudden I KNOW I'm on the right path...

and I take a deep breath.....and I take a sip of my

delicious coffee and sit and write this.

For the first time in a LONG time I KNOW

that everything will be ok...

This is the first day in my new chapter.

Bring it on! I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

Author's Note: BIG life transition for me. i am leaving a job that I enjoy, people that I enjoy seeing everday....and I am going to start a new career, first as student, than as an LPN. So many changes so many doors opening and closing.
