The Future Is Brighter Than Any Flashback

I'm pretty sure that transitions are difficult for me, no matter how big or small they may be.  Even though the horizon looks like living close to a life giving church community, living and working locally, & being close to people who I love and who love me, I have to admit that leaving Pixar, my kids, and my coworkers will be (as has been) incredibly painful.  I've grown to love the kids I care for, even though I am really happy when we have low numbers and go crazy when they are super whiny.  They have been my community and my friends, people I spent 8-9 hours a day with, 5 days a week for the past 17 months.

As I near the move to San Jose and all that it entails, I realize that I really am growing up. And that I am growing further away from a student/college perspective.  And even though it pains me to move on and choose to leave the familiarity of Pixar, I can honestly say I am more excited about what the future holds than ever before in any time of my life.
