Today is the day!
Today I will hand in my resignation
for a job that I used to love and grew to loathe,
and walk out the door into my new life.
It feels almost inevitable,
but the knot in my stomach let's me know it's not,
it's more like, the divorce has to happen...
but it doesn't have to happen today.
Or,
We need to euthanize a beloved pet,
but we don't have to do it today.
The day, the hour, does arrive,
and although some changes are for the worse, t
his is not one of them. I
t's just a step down a new path for me,
a path others created and can show me
where the rough spots are.
Just because I haven't trod the path yet,
it's not a bad place; in fact, I know it's
full of exciting things to see and do!
The knot comes from leaving behind
"the evil you know", a situation that is
stunting and deforming to the soul...but familiar.
I know how to cope with it.
The question finally became,
"Why am I merely coping?
Is this REALLY the very best my life will be?
Am I destined to die with a crick in my neck f
rom looking over my shoulder?"
The proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
has some merit, but what if the bird in the hand dies,
and the bush is right there? Then what?
At what point does it become obvious that clutching
a smelly, dead bird isn't really serving any purpose,
other than keeping you from holding something better?
So, off I go, into the unknown!
