Today was a very strange day. It was my last day at the Apache County Tobacco Program. My office was clean, empty and it echoed. It's once decorated and homey walls and shelves were bare. Shutting off my computer for the last time and walking out of my office after 12 years was very hard. I have made so many friends and have had some great experiences. I have had a great ride. I will never forget the kids. When I went to check out and turn in my keys, our phone guy was sitting there. He told me that I couldn't leave until he gave me a work order that said I could go and he wasn't going to do that. He said "Why is it that the people that you want to leave the county won't go, and the people that you don't want to leave do go?" That made me feel pretty good. The WIC ladies took me out to lunch to say good-bye. Yes it was sad and I had to shed some tears. This program has been a big part of me. I've given it my heart and soul. I leave feeling very good about what I have accomplished.
So I had a sad few minutes and then I picked myself up and gathered my painting supplies and went to work painting my new office. I feel at home there already so I know it is right. Deep breath, I will accept and embrace change!
