A moment’s reflection on change
Friends took me out for cocktails and dinner tonight to celebrate. I had the baked penne (con la salsiccia.) This is my last week on the job. I’ll be starting a new job soon.
Tonight I’m thinking of this big change in my life and am looking forward to it. There is a hint of heaviness in my heart though. It will be hard to say goodbye to the people I’ve worked closely with over the past four and a half years. But there is also a lot of excitement. I can’t wait to start the new job. It’s in academia, but I won’t say more about it at this point.
I’m curious by nature and have always liked new experiences and new adventures. That curiosity has taken me to five continents, and I feel like I am just beginning. This fall I took a French class for the first time. It’s exciting to dig into a new language (to me) and try it on for size. The mantra many people use is “Change is good.” Change can be good. Change can be bad. The important thing to note about change is that “Change keeps curiosity alive.”
