I said goodbye to a friend who was retiring today. It seems I’ve been doing that a lot lately. People that I met when I first started working at my current office 13 years ago, people that helped me settle in, learn the ropes, start over, they have left or are leaving and now I find myself being the one to help the newcomers settle in, learn the ropes, get started, but I’m not retiring any time soon. I just get to say goodbye to those who are, and so… I was feeling somewhat blue today.
I heard this song earlier this evening and it touched on that feeling, that sense of melancholy. The name seems appropriate even.
In another life.
In another life, a life of different adventures, stories, memories, I would be the one leaving, retiring, walking away… hmm. Where’d that come from…?
In another life…
