This has been a week of "last things". Because terms are coming to an end, I've been involved in lots of meetings winding things up for the summer. For me, though, I won't be involved when the new term starts. A strange yet liberating feeling. Burdens are lifted. Excitement beckons. But it feels strange fluctuating between the liberation and the laying down, particularly when there is no one to whom I can pass on the baton.
And when I feel the ghost of loss, I have to remind myself that, this time next year, hopefully I will be just as involved in new situations and different opportunities. Endings are hard but in every ending is a new beginning.
