I've said before that I'm not a fan of Dr. Seuss. But the good gentleman nailed it with the following statement:
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
I'm trying to take that to heart tonight. Today was my last day in my old job, working with the team that I've been a part of for over four years. Layoffs and cutbacks go into effect on Monday, and my old job is gone.
I was blessed to have shared the last few years with coworkers who became friends and then family. It wasn't my choice to leave, but sometimes that's how life plays out. So I'll try on the smile...but I'll probably keep a tissue handy for a while.
Then on Monday, a new adventure begins. Do you have some words of wisdom for that, Dr. Seuss?

I LOVE that quote and it's so true - good, bad, happy and sad - all of it we need to smile and remember...
Just think...now you get to double the friends you will make into family with your new team, Laura. Go get 'em!
