— Seneca

If life is a sum of decisions than we must understand the importance of our ability to make them. Some decisions are easier than others, but that doesn’t change the fact that we must carefully consider them.

In September of 2010, I began working for the Alzheimer’s Association. Since that time, I have been given valuable insight and experiences in a professional setting. While I have cherished my time at the association, and remain grateful for the opportunities that were given to me, I have decided to close this chapter of my life. 

I cannot be sure that this is the right choice, and to use the word right might be absurd in this context, but I do know that it seems to be the best at the moment. The quote above reminds me that as one chapter ends, another begins. 

In 2012, I look forward to the challenges of starting with a new beginning. I am grateful for the support of my family and friends and welcome the new year with a strong sense of hope and possibility.
