A New Day

 

Today is a new day.  Not only do I feel more sure about a decision I've made, but I'm getting support from all over.

 

So here it is:  I'm quitting my job.

 

Is it earth-shattering?  Not really.  But for me, it's a huge risk.  I don't have anything lined up (but a couple things are in the works) so it's scary to think about paying bills.

My husband is supportive....really supportive.  He's scared too, but he keeps saying "No one wants you out of this job more than me." 

 

Here's my plan-I'm going to give notice in a few weeks (at the end of December or early January, provided that I don't have anther job lined up before then).  While I'm looking for work, I will try to substitute teach and possibly waitress to at least make ends meet. 

 

When I write it down, it doesn't look scary at all.  But I'm usually so responsible that this feels HUGE. 

 

Anyway, I talked it over with a couple of key people who's thoughts I really respect and I'm starting to feel more solid about it.  It's still nerve-wracking, but I choose to trust that the Universe will take care of me.  I know from experience that taking care of myself always yields a positive result.  I'm not totally in control of the outcome here, but I also know that leaving this sick work situation is a self-loving thing to do.

 

So that's it.  I'm doing it.  And I feel kind of like I did in college again, that the world is my oyster.  I feel REAL hope...not hope that a situation will improve, but hope that my life gets to be an exciting journey, with ups and downs and surprises and turns.

 

It's a new day, for sure!  The dark clouds clear and I'm bathing in the light of possibility.  TGIF!!
