I have searched and searched through all of my pics in order to find one that would relate to my topic tonight. As I was searching, I realized that I was forcing a subject instead of letting one reveal itself to me. That being said, no photo, no original topic. Instead, my day in at a glance.

Being that Christmas and Holiday are officially over in the retail world and it is on to it's next phase, I felt that it was time to start revealing to my management staff about my resignation. Today would be the day that I could tell them all being that all were scheduled. LOL. What the hell was I thinking? Again, today, an assistant manager calls in sick. So, I have to mentally prepare myself again tomorrow. As I told each of the ones that worked today, you could have tipped them over with a feather. Sincere suprise. Every response was the same, "You're kidding me right?" Nope, not a joke, for real guys. It felt as if a huge weight was being lifted everytime I revealed my departure to each manager. My intent was to be fully free this evening when I arrived home, but yet again, plans get foiled. Oh well, tomorrow, hopefully, will be my liberation. Tomorrow will officially begin the end of a journey that began with high hopes and high expectations. Tomorrow I can freely speak of my new direction, my new hopes, my new expectations, my new beginning. My new moto:
