Saying goodbye

Today I met with my staff from Covenant Manor to tell them I resigned my position. We had a wonderful time downloading the many happenings there over the past three months. Things change - a resident passed away, others are in the hospital, one went to a higher level of care, new residents have moved in - and yet stay the same - Covenant Manor residents will always be the most eccentric and enigmatic group of people under one roof I've ever met!

What makes me sad about closing this chapter in my life is leaving a great group of people to work with. They allowed me the opportunity of practicing my leadership skills in the capacity of "boss" for the first time. Their commitment and humor kept me sane on the days when there were more complaints than compliments. They each made my job much easier than it would have been without them. Thank you Barbara, Nick, Gelacio, Alex, Holvin, LaVine, Ruth & Patty!
