I had another blog and someday I might go back to it but this time I have some different thoughts, I figured that deserved a different blog.
Things change all the time. I know they change for everyone, I know I am not special but this blog is going to be about the change that is happening in my world.
I am hoping it will help me and perhaps make a few people laugh and maybe help to know the struggle is real for everyone!
My family has had a business in our city for the last 73 years, my grandfather started it and my dad took it over with his brothers and built a wonderful business. My cousin and I bought it in 2012 and did a good job at running but made the decision to shut it down. The industry has changed and we both simply did not have the desire to continue it on.
The guilt I have is insane, I have worked there for most of my adult life and then ran it for the last 5 1/2 years. And yes I am letting it go. I am taking down a legacy. My hope is that we have managed to do this in the best possible way, we have maintained the good name of our family and simply closed down a business.
I have either worked for my dad or myself for the past 13 years. Basically without a job title and just a Jill of all trades. Doing whatever was necessary.
So now I have to go back out into the work place and try to figure out what a job on the outside looks like. I am terrified that I won't be any good, that I won't find a job or that I won't like working for someone else.
Who knows what this next chapter will bring but let the adventure begin!
