Hello Crafters!
I'm just poppng in with a quick post to let you all know I'm taking a mini-break.
As you guys know I left my job of ten years this week. Basically I just cried for my last eight hour shift. Which I think everyone expected.
What I didn't expect was my guys getting emotional when they were saying good-bye to me.
This whole time I was thinking how hard to was going to be for me to leave. I never thought it would be hard for them. Last night we got together for a wonderful going away party. It was could to laugh and joke and not cry (okay, maybe a little.)
Today I am going out of town for a few days. I didn't schedule any posts because I've been too busy being sad. It's a full-time gig recently.
After this weekend I'll be back refreshed and much more positive!
Thank you all for your support. Your kind comments mean so much to me!
I can't wait to see all the glorious things you've made when I get back :)
XoXo
Hey Kelly, I usually don't comment, even though I read your blog through my RSS reader. I just wanted to pop in and let you know that you are in my thoughts and I'm sending you all the good karma I can find. It's ok to be sad, and even to cry a bit – after all this job and the people you worked with meant a lot to you. Being down for a bit is not a sign of weakness – it's a sign that you have a big and caring heart. Take time for yourself, and hopefully when you come back you'll feel better :) *hugs*
ReplyDeleteTake care Kelly and hope the time away helps xxx
ReplyDeletei haven't been following your blog for very long so will miss you and look forward to having you back soon with more lovely cards - take care and hugs.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast this weekend, Kelly - you're in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteSending you big hugs, Kelly! Have a really wonderful weekend, and we'll see you when you return!
ReplyDeleteenjoy your little break! sorry you're sad:(
ReplyDeleteTake care Kelly, we will be here waiting for your return. Big change after being at one place for ten years, can image the emotions. Thought I would share a happy moment, I just had a new grandson added to my list of grandchildren. Born today 2:39 am Mason 7lb 14oz beautiful boy with lots and lots of black hair. What a beautiful day
ReplyDeletehave a good time while away, Kelly. Remember to cherish the good times and look forward to your next adventure in life!
ReplyDeleteI hope this "Me" time you're taking helps you to recharge. A loss of a job, especially after 10 years, is a sad time and it's no surprise that they'll miss you as much as you miss them. Look to the positive ... you now have an abundance of people you've met through the job that you can now call friends. The future is bright when one reaches for their goals :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on my blog reading (so if you've posted and I've not commented, that is why), but I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts as well. I can tell you have a big and caring heart and after being with a group for 10 years and having to leave, that's hard. Please take all the time you need to get through this. Will look forward to seeing your next post when you are recharged. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBig hug to you, Kelly! I hope your little break helps. If it doesn't, I prescribe a very long time in your crafty space. ;-) I hope you are less sad when you return.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs to you, Kelly!! You are such an artist and a dynamic creator!! Love seeing your work!! But I totally understand that sadness can make it hard to create!! I have just had such a hard time wanting to do anything since my dad passed away - I have just been so full of sadness!! So please know you are in my thoughts and I understand sadness that makes us need to take a step back and wait a while!! I do totally appreciate who you are and the beauty you create!!
