Did everything just taste purple?

So today was my 'going away party' at work. It was sweet. I really appreciate all of the people there. They have done so much to influence so much of who I am today. I think I really got hit in the face today by what I'm leaving. I know I can't stay forever, but I really am going to miss it. There are certain people I will miss more than others, but I will do my best to keep in touch. As Nate said yesterday, 'we know how that goes.'

So, I'm saying my goodbyes slowly. I started with Becca. That was hard. And it's been hard without her for the past few weeks. Then I said goodbye at the church a few weeks ago. That was sweet. Yesterday I had lunch with a dear friend. We hung out for a while and it was great. Today, CCFI really made me feel loved. It is nice to be appreciated. I am so glad I found that place. It has definitely been a welcoming place. Yes, of course there are problems, which I'm sure I've documented, but overall they do great things and their involvement in people's lives do make a difference. Tomorrow is my official last day with staff. It's bittersweet, as most goodbyes are. I'm going to miss a lot of it, but I'll be okay. :)

I'm crazy emotional lately too. Too many things have been taking place and some have been kind of strange. Some are good...some are bad. I'm kind of a mix of emotions right now. I really want to find a place of calmness. *breathe* Yeah, good luck w/ that one right? I'm not nervous or stressed, I'm just emotional. I'm excited and sad. I'm happy and confused. It's strange. I'm focusing on the positives and spending time with those I love and who challenge me to be a better person. I'm enjoying it. I'm trying to make the best of it all. Hopefully I can spend time with my 3 remaining best friends this weekend. I really want quality time with them. Hopefully there won't be any interferences. *sigh*

Well, 'til next time...
