Riches of the Heart <3
I, at this very moment, have fullness of joy and of happiness and of....extreme abundance in my heart. It's a wonderful, beautiful feeling that I don't feel I should be allowed to have, as rare as it is.
Today I was truly blessed with the spirit of community, and friendship, and I believe an inkling of brotherly love - and feeling like you finally belong to that community and ultimately accepted into that community.
Today was - - whoa, whoa wait, I just now had freakin deja' vu - - about having the picnic. Today was the Innovation Accelerator group's picnic (IA is an umbrella group for many subgroups at Dow Corning, of which I'm a part). It was the first time they've had one in 9 years, and I was here for it - that's the first blessing :) I got to hang out with all the people I've worked closely with for 4 years... I loved it. Loved seeing them outside of work, being PEOPLE. It was wonderful.
A little bit of a set-back with some of the rudeness I experienced with 2 of the people and their tone of voice, but it's partially my fault for complaining in the first place - I should have kept quiet and then no one would have told what I said in order to cause the impatience/rudeness in the person I was complaining about. My fault totally. So yeah - I learned something - "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I got to know Bi-shun a lot more (she's from China); she reminds me a lot of Cynthia. I like it...
Ugh...and I'm so torn...
I have 1 week left at Dow Corning and after spending more time with these people outside of work it just breaks my heart that I have to leave - because really - they are like family to me. They really are. Spending 8 - 10 hour days 4-5 times a week really allows for a lot of growth and bonds to be formed between people...I am going to cry my last day. I almost did today...I'm going to miss them sooo much. So much. It's so unnerving when it seems like the times when you're closest to people are the times when you are going to be most pulled away from them. = TORN.
Hmm maybe more later but for now I'm tired and can't think wel.
