today is the first day of the rest of my life

my, how things have changed since my last post over a month ago.  i am now one of the statistics on the nightly news.  after 15 years of loyal service and stellar performance reviews, i was told my position was being eliminated.  i was being laid off.   wow.  i never saw it coming.  i was shocked, devastated, angry, offended and scared.  still am to be honest.  
BUT, i must admit i've always known corporate america was not my destiny.  it stifled me creatively, and over time i sort of just accepted it.  
so, this as an opportunity, a blessing in disguise, the best thing that ever happened to me.

the first day of the rest of my life...

stay tuned.

(still pisses me off, though)
