changes

Okay health update: Doctor is doing shoulder surgery on Wednesday to get rid of a bone spur. The following Wednesday another doctor is doing cortisone shots in my lower back to help with the pain. Headaches are the same. I go back in January.

Tomorrow I work my last day as a case manager supervisor for the elderly. I am not sure what my next step is besides recovering from all this health crap. I know that I am applying for part time jobs. I want to get a part time job. My dream is to go back to school to work with children. I love children. I light up around them. They light up around me. I was burnt out working in my last job. It wasn't the job. It was me. I just wasn't meant to do that job anymore. I believe God is leading me to something with children. I just have to pray and follow. That is my plan.

It is just so hard to walk away from a job that I was great at. I had been there for 5 1/2 years. I didn't feel challenged anymore, but I was excellent at it. I am not bragging. I just was really good at it. But my heart wasn't in it. I remember my mom and my dad telling me to work doing something you love and the money won't matter. I just didn't love my job anymore. It is time to move on. But it is so hard to say good-bye to my clients and co-workers after 5 1/2 years.

All Change is hard but I know this change is good.
