If you know me, you know I Heart Dame Judi Dench. I first fell in love with her in “As Time Goes By” a phenomenal Britcom from the 90’s. It’s funny and droll – full of that British humor I love. It used to be my favorite thing to watch every Saturday night on PBS. Yes, Saturday night. In our house, every Saturday night was a Disney or Barbie movie, followed by excellent Britcoms after the kid went to bed. Such is the life of a parent.
But, to my point, Dame Judi Dench is also in one of my favorite movies, “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” (And, of course, its equally awesome sequel “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”.) One of my favorite lines from BEMH is “Everything will be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” I recently had to take this advice to heart when I considered a job change. It caused me anxiety, to be sure, but I just knew everything would work out.
And it did. I was hooked up with a new job the very same day I left the old. I am thrilled with my new position, love my new team (not that I didn’t love my other team members) and in many ways this is a much better fit for me. And I never had any doubt it would all work out.
“God never closes one door without opening another”. “Worry is a lack of faith.” “Everything will be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” I believed them all. And they wer
e all true.
Now I have more time with my daughter. More time to knit. I’m much happier.
And it’s not the end. It’s a new beginning.
Oh, and here’s a new hat. I suppose I shouldn’t forget that.
