Torn....

I've been somewhat torn in making a decision about attending a reunion of past employees of a company I worked for years ago.

Mack Travel gave me an opportunity to move into Northern Canada where I ended up living for about 25 years of my life. Most importantly, this move gave me the opportunity to be in a position to adopt my children, Jill and Jesse, and for that I am forever grateful and pleased.

The job itself was good for me as well. It helped me learn a sound basis for business and this has been somewhat of a building block for me over the years.

Torn... yes - because I left this job under less than desirable circumstances. The owner of the agency is and will always be very respected for his business acumen and his generosity. Without going into details, I lost a lot of respect I had for him and to be honest, couldn't care less if I ever see him again. And of course, he probably doesn't give a rat's ass if he were to see my pretty face again.

But.. I've been seeing a lot of Facebook posts from previous employees that I worked with who will be attending. I enjoyed their company both professionally and socially and .. well, it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

To top things off, I guess the decision maker for me was the little ditty posted along with this diatribe which I also saw on Facebook today. It is kind of corny, but I have to say that a lot of what it says has become my mantra in life and is sort of the basis for my starting this blog in the first place.

So, I booked my hotel room for this big occasion. It will no doubt be very highly attended and it will be good to see my old friends and colleagues. Maybe I'll even give JR a hug....

Life is Good!
