The Second Season of My Life

Dear Universe,
Candy, my coworker of over 8 years retired recently. She turns 62 on June 16, 2011 and will be moving to Vina del Mar, Chile, by the beach into a big house. I took over her position as data processor for the company. Though the position is a step up and away from being chained to the phone, it is not Human Resources, the field I want to get into. I took it for the pay and for the break from the phone. I took her leaving hard, harder than I expected. I actually cried when she left. Her leaving was a reminder of many endings in my life in recent years, the end of my first season of life. Once single , I am now married, once a renter, now I own, once childless, I have a child, and now a new job. I cried because I will miss her and I cried because, I couldn't believe it had been 8 years already at the same company. I want to retire abroad as she did, but not from this company. If I changed so much in five years, I will change even more in the next five. We will open our first business in five, and be real estate moguls in ten. I was very depressed until I got a goal, and that is my goal, to be in business for myself. With God's help I will. Till next time.
