2015 started out quite badly with the death of our dog Smokey, he was 14 years old, which is old for a collie/blue healer mix. He hadn't been ill, he just couldn't get up on New Years day and the vet advised us that he had snapped his spine and would never walk again, due to his age advised us that the most humane thing would be to let him go now, with all of us around him feeling our love.
That was New Years day.
Since then we have made a Seachange to a lovely part of the world, a new furry member to our family, who has won all our hearts.
About 3 months ago I had an accident on my way to work which ended with me fainting, twice, in quite a bad part of town, I woke the second time to be surrounded by medical people who looked after me and hailed a passing ambulance. Thing could have been much worse if more of the 'undesirable' elements of my town were around me instead.
Yesterday I put in my resignation with a job I have had for the past 18mths. I had enjoyed the job for the first 12mths, it was only with the arrival of a new General Manager that I realized that there was a parting of ways. I started to look in earnest for a new job after my accident, and two weeks ago I found a job very similar to the one I was already doing, bigger organisation and passion filled people. They read my resume, asked me to consider a more senior role, to which I was more than happy to do. At the interview the Manager asked if I would consider another, more senior job (now two levels above what I was doing at present) to which I was thrilled.
So today, Christmas Eve 2015, I have moved on. The difficult year is over and I look with a level of excitement, I haven't felt in years, to 2016.
Trusting in God's plan, waiting on his timing has been a struggle, I just wanted to 'tweak the edges' push the timing. As I look back at how things have unfolded now, I can't think of a better way for this to have happened.
To all my readers, I wish a Merry Christmas, and a happy 2016.
