Change is....

Inevitable....sometimes good ...sometimes not so great...and sometimes a mixture of both at one time. This little number is for my boss Mary. She has been my boss for 10 years now...we have had ups and downs...but a whole lot of good times together. We have a special little thing we call the "24 hour rule"...when one doesn't like something the other one is proposing each of us takes 24 hours to consider what the other has said and we ALWAYS come to either an argeement or compromise after 24 hours. Mary and I can say what is on our minds to each other, make each other upset but always know that it will be ok in the long run. Mary works her heart out for the best outcomes for children and families...and she will continue to do that in the years to come as a manager for the new agency that will be contracting fostercare services in this area come July 1. She will do very well as a manager and will continue to greatly impact the lives of children and families. I wish her so much luck...but it is bittersweet cause I always said I couldn't do this job without her and not having her as my direct supervisor will be a HUGE adjustment!
