Endings

The semester's over, to my great relief, the year's rapidly coming to an end, and today is my last day as an employee at this particular place of business.

I really do like endings. I like the feeling that something is finished, that all the loose threads are snipped, the last button has been sewn on, and the pattern is put away. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment and opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for the future.

After the holidays I'll be going back to temp work, which I enjoy immensely. Being a temp is a great adventure and I'm really looking forward to doing it again. Maybe I'll be able to fit in more time between assignments for all those things I really like to do like cutting out, sewing up, snipping loose threads, and sewing on buttons. And maybe even weaving another basket or two. Meanwhile, I hope that everyone at Ben's Friends will have a wonderful holiday season focused totally on Christ. He is our gift, we need no others.
