Bittersweet

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Profound I know... you are all probably thinking, "duh Melanie" but this is an important day for me. My employment has gone from full time office manager and mother to just full time mother. Friday was the last day of work for me. My generous boss took Dave and I to the Chef's Table here in P-town to celebrate. I am sad to go. My kind hearted boss treated me very well and showed great appreciation for the work I have done for him. I enjoyed my job, and got quite proficient at it. Alas, it is time I move on. I now sit here on my living room floor next to my beautiful baby boy. He is my focus and my work now. I couldn't ask for a better calling in life. Nothing could have prompted to me to come to this screeching halt except him. I am happy to be here. What I do today will pattern what I do for the next who knows how many years until every child Dave and I will have grows up and out of our home. It is important to me to establish righteous traditions and habits. What I do today will determine my life tomorrow. I have goals and projects I would like to work on. I have other people in mind. I have chores to do. I have talents to strengthen. Wish me luck in this new phase of life.
