Second Step

Re-read my "First Step" post from October 2nd. The second step has finally arrived. I've quit, arrive derci-ed, adios-ed. What you wonder?, stopped smoking - no idiots, I don't smoke, stopped picking my nose in public - that's up for question. Here it is. I've quit my job. It's been good while it lasted, but I've been unhappy for some time and I had to re-prioritize; health, relationships, work. From the previous; work, hate work, relationships that also hate my work, because I can't stop saying how upset I am with my job. I've made friends and learned so much about life. It's a scary step and I seriously thought last night "what did I just do?", but I have peace and seriously folks if you want one thing in life, it's PEACE, 'cause heck it's an amazing thing to have. I'll miss coming to work and riding up that elevator, saying "good mornin'" to Dorothy and heading off to my little cubicle with Alcove (my beta, from my cool friend Snipes) and my green plant, but life is more than material things. You have to LOVE what you do and if you don't then you need to go find what you love and do that. Life is too short, waaaay too short and it's not worth it to waste one moment of it on something that you can't take with you. I have faith and confidence. I am who I am and I don't ever want to forget that. Jobs come and go, but you always have to live with yourself...leave no stone unturned! I love whoever is reading this and I hope if there's one thing you understand about this post is that I'm following my heart and life is worth learning from.

The Lord gives grace and glory; He does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity" Psalms 84:11
