That's how I feel today. Partially because I am listening to Tom Petty here at my desk on the 23rd floor of the church office building. I listen to these words and look out my window from my lofty perch. The hazy clouds mix in the distance and objects, possibly buildings, planes, or a boat out at sea seem to float in it's waters. These last couple days I have felt rather nostalgic, melancholy, really I'm not sure how I am feeling. My employment here ends in three weeks exactly. It is as if you can feel the pending change in your life. The sad part is this is the first job that I haven't been somewhat excited to leave. Others I would of continued in and made the best of if I hadn't left for school, mission, etc, but did feel burned out and relieved to be leaving. My post here has lost some of it's majesty as I have become comfortable in my surroundings and nothing overly exciting is happening. Still, I have noticed that the thought of leaving is a sad one. And so, I make the best of it (as I tend to do) and move on.
"It's time to move on, it's time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, babe, the grass is growing, It's time to move on, it's time to get going."
Funny how that song started just then. These days I seem to be connecting with Tom Petty an awful lot. Except for the whole fascination with getting high. So I move on....hopefully, eventually where I belong...somewhere I feel free.

Hmmm...it would be sad to leave a job you still like. I had to do that recently :( Sad, but exciting at the same time.
