When its time to start a new chapter in your life, the old chapter isn't sure if its finished. Whenever it's time to move on from anything or have a change of direction in life, I feel like something knocks on your door and makes you question your decision to make a change. It's like some sort of natural force wants to make sure you truly are ready to move on. I have found this happen to many people I know and myself. Some how nature has a way of challenging every decision we make in this life. I tend to always question big decisions I make, but somehow always stick to my initial intuition and move on. There have been so many chapters in my life, this monday it's a whole new one starting.
Tomorrow is last day I will be working as Volunteer Coordinator for a hospice company. I have lost many people that I have become very close to this year working in hospice. The one thing that's so beautiful about the job I am leaving behind, is that every single day I was helping someone in some way or another. Little or big, it made a big difference to those patients and families lives. I have become more compassionate and have much more respect for the elderly. I always find a way to help my patients live better lives. Last week I found my patients step father who she hasn't seen in 30 years.
It's scary to move on, but I know this is the right decision for me at this time. I will make a promise to myself to always help others and to make someones day a little better every single day. It's important to do and we must not ever forget that. Give a little whenever you can. Whether it be a smile, letting someone in on the highway, giving food to a homeless person or doing a favor for a friend. Life is too short to live any other way.
