And Break!

The Last Day of Work was today. I had a round of hugs and a couple of hand shakes from some clients and I was outtathere.
What an amazing experience that has been: I’d never looked to enter the social services or paramedical fields and there I was. And reasonably successful, too.
Glory to God for all things.
As I walked away there just the tiniest ferklempting: just last night (at 3AM) I’d got into a client’s headspace and helped, making an emotional connexion that hadn’t been there prior, and that would have no time to grow. But no extended emotional heart strings. I got a little overjoyed, in fact, for finally ending all the psychologically unhealthy aspects: especially the odd sleeping schedule!
I commented to Ruth, my coworker this AM, that I had not, for some time, left to go somewhere. Instead, much of the last few years have been leaving to get away from somewhere. Moving to Buffalo is a new experience: moving because of a new opportunity, moving because of a possible positive rather than a present negative.
The feeling is rather different, rather wonderful.
