A Change

I kind of like change. I feel like it makes me a better person because I learn to adapt and change and essentially I learn more about myself. I am in the process of relocating (pending a job). It is nearly driving me crazy because I am the type that likes to have all the details lined up and ironed out, and this process is anything but. I am nervous about hurting people's feelings, about essentially leaving what I love simply to have an adventure. I guess some consolation is that I talked with my vice principal today and just laid it all out on the table. I told her about my internal struggle, and then said (in tears), "This is totally presumptious, and I shouldn't ask at all, but if I get down there and don't like it, do you think I could come back." She looked at me and smiled and said, "We would take you back in a second. We would make sure we made a spot for you. We don't want you to go, but if you have to, we would be overjoyed to have you back at anytime." It made the raging inferno within me downgrade to a small wildfire of internal flames. It's good to know that I have a wonderful work family and that I am appreciated and loved. If this crazy mess works out, it will be a fun adventure, but I will also have to leave some of my most favorite people in the whole world!
