Not Sure what to title this

As I sit here two days away from having to go back to work for the school year, reality finally sunk in. Most of my coworkers from last year are not coming back. They have all gotten jobs else where for the year. They were great friends and I miss them all very much already! I don’t know how I am going to deal with the year.

The one teacher in particular was my Weight watchers buddy at work. She and I have become like best friends. I know I will keep in contact with her but I won’t see her on a daily basis like I did  for  the last few years. She had become my best friend and it is killing me to not have here there with me all the time. She was the only from work one who understood what I am going through cuz she was going through it right along with me. She was the one who gave me encouraging words when I felt down at work, and picked me up again, and I did the same for her. She came over last night and I could tell she has been regretting her decision to leave the school. She told me that she misses me already too, so much that she wishes she could come back.

Who am I going to have now at work to be my Weight Watchers buddy? No one else  is in need of loosing weight. Who will tell me I look great today? WHo will ask me if I have lost more weight?

I know I have all my buddies here to cheer me up when I get home. Maybe I can find time to log on during the day too to get that extra motivation I need.  That would be great. Maybe I can cut my lunch short some days and check buddyslim before I go pick up my students.

    The only sure thing in this life is change…. nothing ever stays the same and there’s nothing you can do about it…. and to be completely honest, change is good for us. I know, it’s hard, the older you get, the harder it gets… but almost always good things result from change. Without it there is no growth, just stagnation. Even a relationship must grow and change, or it dies. So keep in touch with your old friends, but be open to new beginnings. love you….

    Maybe you’ll be surprised and make some new friends at school.
    In the meantime you do have your buddies here.

    I know change is hard but it also brings new and exciting things to life.

    Take care

    You are gonna be just fine Julie! You have come so far. I agree with Sandy. Changes are inevitable but when we learn different ways, sometimes there is something even better coming around the corner to help us along. :)
