Last day!

Oh, by the way! Today is my last day of work! They had a potluck for me, and everyone had such nice things to say! I am really going to miss the people I work with and work for. The other day in Walmart, I saw an owner of one of the group homes we had gone in to to help one of their clients. We did a lot of work with him. He would headlock people and get very anxious, was very, to the T, routine. He did so well, with us! Anyway, I said hi to her and asked how things were going. She said great! She then said, "Thanks again for your help." And for the first time, really, I felt good about the job I have been doing. I hadn't really felt that before.

So today when I came in to work, I really thought I was going to feel no emotion towards the part of leaving the workforce. But I sat here and was a little sad that this was the last day I would be helping the people that used this service. I will also miss the people in my office. They have always been wonderful, with words of encouragment, motivation, understanding, and lots of laughter. I will truly miss them.

So! I'm on to the next adventure! I'm taking the big plunge in to the unknown, and see how the water flows!

Thanks for all of your prayers and nice words! It's been greatly appreciated.

What exactly did you do? It sounds like you use to work on the floor like I am doing now...but what came next? And HOW did you get there? (although I can't imagine NOT working on the floor...someday I will get there!)

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
