Well, I've left my office for the last time. One last look behind me and I'm out the door.
There really isn't that much to say about it, but I am feeling a bit bitter sweet. I have met with and tried to help over 200 people in the last three years as a probation officer. I learned early on that I will have no successes because if I have any successes, that means I will also have failures. If I have failures, then that means I am responsible for them. But I can say that I have enjoyed watching those that wanted to overcome their addictions to alcohol and drugs begin on a new track in life. To see those people that are applying and working their recovery plan and learning to be pro-social citizens, participating in their communities by working or going to school and remaining drug and alcohol free is amazing. While relapse has often happened, those that have been serious have been able to overcome. I have thoroughly enjoyed my job and will miss parts of it.
I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of people from different backgrounds, including many law enforcement people, and this made my job even more interesting.
I know that God is in this change and I know that He sees where it is going, so I will trust Him because on my own, I do not think I would have ever, in a million years, considered working as an Investigator for CPS.
I also wanted to include a picture of the beautiful courthouse that was my home away from home for 11 years.
My office was on the 3rd floor, the two windows with the blinds only 1/2 way up.
Now it's time to switch gears just a bit! Ready for the next path in my life!
