Today Is The First Day of The Rest of My Life

I just finished my last work assignment.

This is the last day that I will swipe my card and punch in my floor number on the automatic elevators. No more sneaking to read blogs. No more blocked websites. No more side-eyes from matronly looking coworkers because I'm wearing bright colours or statement heels.

In true MissJodie fashion, I wore a little white shift dress today. Not too much of a scandal, but definitely in violation of corporate hemline rules by at least an inch. But it's a celebration, so why wouldn't I wear a party dress??

Anyway... as corny as it may sound, today is my last day as a Pittsburgh Corporate Banker, but it is the first day of the rest of my life. It's an incredibly daunting thought. I can't decide if I want to run the aisles screaming and jumping ecstatically... or puke all over my shoes. One day I'll be remembered as either the incredibly brave girl who took a chance and achieved her dreams, or the incredibly stupid girl who threw her entire life away. I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring now. I'm flying by the seat of my pants with only a shell of a plan...

But as afraid and anxious as I am, I know that this is what I have to do, and I'm ready to do it.

Buckle in, y'all.

Ready, Set, Go...
