Giving Notice at my work

Today I gave notice at Metro, I quit my job!
OH my gosh, so huge. I was so overcome with worry and anxiety over how my boss would react. I was so scared she would be "mad" at me. That she would turn on me....all this stuff. My mind has been revving for months over this. And in a way, I've been like feeling so hidden about Seattle b/c I wasn't telling work. So I hadn't full decided in a way, as I was keeping it hush on the work front.
Anyway I told her, and it couldn't have gone better.
She listened to me, she heard me, she was surprised. She was super present. She was sad.

She said "Molly, You have been a rock here at the company. You have really contributed to the company." She was saying that very soundly and very much like she meant it. As if to really recognize that I was important and, wow that I really contributed to Metro. I'm so overwhelmed she said that. It felt so real and so "like her", like the Debra I know, who has mothered me and really been on my side. I got to really tell her about it. I got to talk about how I've outgrown Santa Cruz, how I"m grumpy in Santa Cruz. How I've prayed and meditated about it and the answer has been Yes. How this is a Faith thing.
She understand. We hugged twice. We said we were going to go get Tea, or go out to lunch.

It was soooo good, It couldn't have gone better.
