On this grey final day of summer I break my silence to you all. I say all but actually very few people have been reading recently. But I'm not worried about that. I just like to indulge myself a little longer. The summer has been pretty bleak affair in the main and has gone far too quickly. I haven't seen the sun for a few days and I can definitely feel the chill of autumn coming.
Yet sunshine has lit up my life for the last week or so. After so long feeling bad about myself, doubting my ability and battling increasing anxiety my life has taken a huge step in a new direction.
Last Monday after a 25 minute video interview I was appointed the Team Leader for the new Mental Health Support Team delivering mental health provision into schools in Welwyn and Hatfield. They must have liked me as they offered me the job within 10 minutes.
My head is still spinning, my emotion all over the place but I have finally triumphed in my long journey to move on in my life. I never believed that would happen and have for a long time feared that was it on my career.
Excited and terrified in equal measure but that is to be expected. Starting again at 52 is a daunting prospect but I know I'm doing the right thing.
The news has made my holiday. I remain off until next week and celebrated my birthday yesterday with Miriam and Nigel for lunch and then a couple of drinks in the evening. Tomorrow I'm hoping to meet an old Cambridge friend. The optician awaits on Thursday but little else planned.
Wherever you are in the world please take notice that change can happen even when feeling very stuck. I was frightened throughout the process but I triumphed in the end.
Take care out there.
I Heard a Voice.
