Hate leaving just as I can start accruing benefits.
Love knowing 'this is my last Monday...tomorrow will be my last Senior Day...Saturday will be my last Super Saturday.'
Hate not knowing what's coming.
Love depending on the provider for provisions.
Hate not being able to depend on self.
Love having a routine (even if it's a hated routine).
Hate being stuck in a rut.
Love having comrades and people who miss me when I'm gone.
Hate leaving them behind.
Love looking forward to the bend in the road.
Hate not knowing what's around the corner.

Mom always used to quote this verse at me when I was afraid of the future. She said that in Bible times, shepherds used to set little candles or lamps on their sandals so that they could see, in the middle of the night, if there was trail one step ahead, or if it was just a cliff to avoid. She reminded me many, many times to trust God for the next step. "If he wanted us to have headlights, he would have given us headlights...even high beams! But he only gave us light for the next step." Anyhoo, here's the verse:
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

All this to say that Saturday is my last day at The Department Store. After that...who knows? I do know that it was one too many straws that broke the camel's back...and it wasn't just complaints. It was a true difference, irreconcilable. Hopefully they won't take it personally.
