Independence Day
This day has been a long time coming.
Since the end of October I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for some things to change.
I’ve written about being stuck in the mud, I’ve written about being in stasis, on the edge of waiting and all that other good stuff.
This week the waiting is over.
Today is Independence Day.
After more than 5 years at the Journal Gazette, I’ve been able to resign.
In October I started working with my current bosses at the University of Saint Francis to see what they wanted to do with me when my contracted term of working two jobs was over.
Opportunities were whispered of, far off distances that may or may not come to reality.
Some of those have and the really big one is in process, but since nothing is official I cannot comment yet about it, but it’s coming and I’m stepping out in faith that it’s going to happen.
But in a few short days (weeks) my 80+ hour, 7 day a week life is about to change. I’ll have weekends free, nights where I can stay up past 9, and God forbid, holidays off.
I cannot begin to tell you how free I feel today, I want to toss of my shoes and just run in the sun.
Today is a great day. Today I celebrate my independence.
