A day of lasts and firsts.
I got up this morning for the last time at the house on the Farm, drank my last cup of coffee there, and walked to work for the last time, twenty years of living on the farm have come to an end. I watched the girls bring the yearlings in for the last time as today, they shipped to the sale grounds this afternoon. Today was the last day I had staff at the farm, both Amanda and Natasha are laid off now that there is no more sale preparations and I go back to working by my self.
Of course there are the first, our first mortgage payment was made today, ouchhhh !!!!, we brought our cat Stella over to the new house ( she is unhappy ), and tonight will be our first night sleeping here ! Tomorrow will be my first time driving to work in over thirty years !!!
Sad to see the era of Farm living coming to an end, so much has happened in those twenty years, but I am trying to live my life by the motto that change is good and therefore I will morn my leaving a little bit but I will embrace the future and the changes it brings, it's like the bends in the unridden road, one looks forward to seeing whats around the corner !!
This years Tour du Canada riders will be pulling into Saint Johns tomorrow like I did just a year ago, then I had no idea what the future held for me, I got bogged down in depression for a while, crawled out of that and now I am tackling a whole new adventure and we shall see were it takes me. The new house is wonderful, the neighbourhood nice and quiet I think I am going to like urban living !!
Now I just have to find a new job !, more first and last to come.
