So the closing took a lot longer than any one could ever have predicted. After long hours of preparation to ensure smooth sailing, "D- Day" finally arrived on June 23, 2011. It was a sad day.
To say good bye to the people who became family during my three year tenure in San Antonio was much more difficult than anyone anticipated. It was one thing to know that this day would come, but it was another to actually face it. Not being able to have my morning coffee with my team on June 24th, was our new reality. Change can sometimes be difficult to get used to.
And in the end, the job wasn't as "thank-less" as it had felt in the past. Looking back on it now, it's easy to assume that countless hours of dedication appear to go unnoticed while working into the wee hours, or coming going in early. But when the process goes smoothly, the numbers look better than they ever have, and residents, buyers and sellers alike are all happy... It's all the thanks you need. You've given it your best, and have performed to the top of your abilities, your thanks arrive in the form of gratitude. And yes, for this experience, I am grateful.
Waking up on June 24th, and not having a job to go to, felt a little weird. On one hand, I was excited to start my new found freedom, but on the other the anxiety of not having a job for the first time ever was a bit unsettling. I've held a job since I was 13 years old. I've always had a plan or a direction. I've never not worked, and I didn't know what to do with this.
Perhaps this is GOD's way of saying that it is time to do a new thing? One thing I do know... change is inevitable. It's time to embrace change, while asking GOD to guide my steps and give that discerning ear to hear HIM. I may not know what's in store...but whatever it is...it's gonna be good!
