I am about to close a major chapter in my life. Tomorrow will usher in the end of 14 years of service with my company. It is hard to believe it’s over after 14 years and it is time for me to move on. I’ve had some good days and I’ve had some bad days but I won’t complain!
I’m filled with excitement, a little anxiety and some spurts of nostalgia. It all really hit me this morning that I only have one more day left. The "Baby" has finally grown up!
As the word of my leaving spread through the office, many people approached me with their story of what it’s been like working with me over the years. I never realized how many people I’ve touched and how much I was appreciated. It has been a very humbling experience and one that I am truly thankful to God for.
My new opportunity is on the other side of town so my surroundings will be completely unfamiliar. I can only liken it to going off to college and leaving home for the first time. My new company has welcomed me with open arms. They genuinely seem to be as happy to have me as I am to have them.
I am a Project Manager!!! Yay me :o)
About Me

Sweet blog. Miss Sarenna, you have been an inspiration to me these many years we have worked together. I have learned alot from you. Your calmness in the midst of turmoil, your ability to forget about the bad and being able to move on. I hope I can be as steadfast as you were, but only time will tell. I'll try to think about how you would react to the same situations I'm going to see myself in and I will be praying "serenity now":-) I do thank you for not only being there for support at work but for being supportive as a good friend. You have a good heart....don't ever change. :-)
