I’ve spent a little time reading over the posts from the last year this morning. It was a tough year. One of the toughest I’ve had. One post that stuck out to me was the post in which I wished that I could have accepted a job at the Tulsa World in November 2007. There is no “do-over” button though, and what’s done is done.
This morning I didn’t find the do-over button, but I feel like I may be in for something even better. I start my new job at TCC this morning and I am very excited to see how this goes. I get the feeling that I may have found a place to be for awhile, and that it will be very good for me and my family.
Yes… this past year was tough, but I feel like I learned a lot. Here I sit about a year and half later with an opportunity to settle in and live a stable life. Before my adventure in Texas I would not have been satisfied. I’d be looking for “better” even now, on my first day. Now, I’m just happy to have a job, and I’m excited about where to go from here.
I will always have fond memories of the cul-de-sac in Bedford. During the summer that place seemed like paradise. My heart hurts when I think about how peaceful it was for the kids to be there. They don’t have the freedom here that they enjoyed there. That’s a downside of being here. I don’t know why things turned out the way that they did, but I do know that I’m glad to be back in Tulsa with a fresh start.
Here’s to my first day at TCC.
