Free

Well it has only been two days, but already I feel free.  Free of the stresses that were weighing me down over the dilemma of my work.  Free of the worry, and guilt I had been feeling about my decision to leave.  

I worked today and it was probably the first day for a long time I went in with a totally clear mind and I have to say the reward was a very productive day and one which I walked away from extremely happy.  That hasn't happened for a while.

I love what I do there, and know when my time comes to close the door one final time on the place it's going to be hard to walk away.  Four and a half years (for me) is a long time to be in one workplace...I was promised champagne at 3 years as that was the longest I had ever been at a work place.  (Still waiting for that one...).  In that time I've learnt a lot about myself, and of others, and have grown both personally and professionally.   

But I chose to walk away, and think, if the last few days have been any indication, was what I needed to do, for my sanity.

So I'm free...although I don't reckon it's going to be an easy journey adjusting to post work me...but who knows.  Stay tuned.
