Whispers of Confirmation

I was over visiting the lovely and talented Millie from the land

down under earlier today. She was posting about making

the tough decision of changing jobs. Leaving something

she had done for years, was good at, and loved the people she

worked with. Not to mention a career change at 55, although

I'm telling you, she looks to be about 30 and gorgeous! Coming

to the peak of her decision, she came across these words while

on the Internet... "It is rarely too late to start something new".

Of course, it was like those words were there just for her!

I smiled as I read her post as I thought a very similar thing

happened to me almost 19 years ago. I had a good job that I

loved. Taylor was a year old and we were fortunate enough

to have a young newlywed girl that babysat him. They had

a nice one-on-one quality relationship and she even came

to our home every day. It was the perfect scenario which

allowed me to keep working. As all good things must come

to an end, babysitter got pregnant herself and wanted to

quit. Well, my motherly heartstrings were being tugged

anyway as I only got to see him long enough to

feed him dinner and give him a bath every night. I was

tired of work...being a repo girl is a tough job! On the

other hand I made good money, more than The Mister

at the time. And you just couldn't beat those GM benefits

of the early 1990's. And I loved my job and my coworkers!

The day I turned in my resignation, some coworkers

took me out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant.

And here's what my fortune cookie said....

Sometimes confirmation comes and drops in your lap!

So what about you? Any profound fortune cookie messages?

Skywriting? Billboards? Scripture verses?

Personally, I wish all answers to life's hard decisions were

given in such clear ways. But since they are not, that just

makes those times even more awesome!
