Wednesday, April 15th...a job lost

I had worked at Russell Investments since 1980. I was 23 when I was hired...it has been a long road. I have had a son, 2 sabaticals and numberous trips to see the world. I have no regrets! About anything...I believe in living life to the fullest...although I tend to do a lot less socially these days. I hope this is one thing I can change and improve on while I am off of work.

I firmly believe that God did not put us on this earth to work 5 days a week with 2 days off. It seemed that all of my weekends involved trying to play catch-up to everything that happened during the week. I was never caught up...ever.

I am going to take this time to enjoy my life...and for once in my life get caught up! And to be as happy as I can be. I am looking at this as an opportunity to do what I am passionate about...although not sure exactly what that is yet...it will be a learning experience!

You are an inspiration. I knew I was going to be let go, but was still hit hard. The hardest was knowing that all my friends that were laid off had to leave that day and I have to stay around until June 30th. I have way to much to do and life to live to be working right now. LOL

I love your attitude and humor! If you ever want a walking buddy around Chambers Creek, give me a nudge...I may have some time, HA!

Denise,
You are funny!! and I KNOW this happened for a good reason. I am soooo happy you are OK with it and I know something will come into your life you have a passion for and live to do it. I have a passion for a "healing center" and continue to work as a GC, not loving my days, to say the least. Now you have an opportunity and I wish you all the luck, support and love from someone who feels like your big sister.
