Today is the one-year anniversary of my last day at The Morning Call. I Think I can say, despite the uneasiness in the job market and my prospects thereof,that this has been one of the best years of my life. Being out from under the constant TMC drag of not ever being "good enough" has, in fact, been very good for me. I have literally blossomed and accomplished more in the last twelve months than I would ever have thought possible. I find, too, that I don't miss the job at all. I miss being out in the community and meeting all kinds of people from all walks of life, but I don't miss the job itself one bit.
So yes, Virginia, there is a very good life after The Morning Call. It's a sad thing to say, but there it is.
