Whereby, I find myself by the sea
And I am happy
Whereby, I find myself with a new freedom
And I am happy
Whereby, I finally let go and move on
And I am happy
Whereby, this is the day I leave a job I no longer love
And – I am happy
Where is your happiness?

Kevin, this sounds a lot like a dream I had the night I decided to quit my job and move on. In the dream I was struggling to ride a bike on a sandy path through dense, dark woods. Just as I was exhausted and about to give up, I burst out of the woods into the sunshine of a beautiful beach. (I could hear Beach Boys music playing. 😊)
To answer your question, following Jesus’ plan for my life makes me happy.

Amen! What an interesting dream!
I woke up with peace in my heart about this decision. 26 years I spent with this company… Crazy! Cannot quite retire yet, but closer everyday! ;-)))

Congratulations on leaving a job that no longer made you happy!! I know what a hard decision it is. My happiness was leaving not only the job but the whole career behind. It had become a soul-sucking abyss. A shame, really.

Lovely piece, this line “Whereby, I finally let go and move on” hit me hard. Maybe because I have not yet found it in myself to let go.
