Never Over Stay The Welcome

I suppose you could put it down to my Sagittarius nature. Or maybe I have finally just gotten ‘it’. But this week I have learned the unmitigated joy of letting go of what needs to go. Simply and without malice.

I sensed the wind of change blowing through my life months ago and this time instead of stubbornly digging my heels into my current situation, I am opening my life to whatever the future may bring to me.

I am letting go of a job I love. I am letting go of the companionship of co-workers I care deeply about and who have come to be my friends. I am letting go of working daily with surgeons I respect. I am letting go of the familiar because it is time.

I really can’t explain except it, only that I know. I have been at this place for the time allotted me. It is time to go.

So I go without drama or malice. No bridges to burn or hard feelings. I go with well wishes and an open door waiting should I ever want to return to the place I called home and to the people who look a bit like family.

But having made the decision to leave — there is an incredible sense of freedom rushing in. My soul is no longer tethered to a specific lattitude or dimension. My future days will not be defined by the people, rules, and norms of this place. My world will expand yet again.

Once I said yes to this thought — that I would do something else — doors opened, opportunities arrived. I sit here pondering which one will pan out and where will I land? The Universe was obviously only waiting for my permission to put events in motion.

For right now I go to the same job with a lighter heart and a freer spirit knowing I will not be there forever. One day the stars will align just so and I will step into a new role — all over again. I will remake myself.

As long as I’m alive — I will keep growing. And I’m getting better at recognizing the signs. I’m getting better at knowing when the shift ocurs and it’s time to walk away from the things not meant for me.

Life is a journey not a destination- it’s said. I suppose that’s why it feels so right to keep moving.

Namaste.
