Day seventeen - it was not all bad

I have said in the past that I started a new job a few weeks ago. There were some really crappy things that happened over this year. I know I focused a lot on those really crappy things that have happened this year too. With my medical condition my negative thinking made just made it worse. Accusations and betrayals made it seem like it was all for not. I had worked hard, put in a lot of hours, and sacrificed a lot of time with my family and it all fell apart in 6 months, it was really hard not to look at it like my sacrifices we for nothing.
A really good friend made me think of what that seven years really meant. That seven years first meant met my best friend. Without that job I would have never met her and in turn never met the whole group we hang out with. The years we worked together, the Saturdays that were MISERABLE due to a GREAT Friday night, the fun I had since I was a morning person and she was not, and etc., and etc.. It was great that I found someone that I can get along with so well, even more so sine we were starting over in new town.
I learned a lot over those seven years. I was 20 when I started and was just a kid, I was taught well by some of the greatest co workers that I had. Not only did I learn a lot from those that I worked along side with but also those that I worked with that reported to me. The biggest thing of all is teamwork. Some of those people I worked with have really made me see how much I enjoy the work with others, they have my back and I had theirs. I loved it.
I also loved that some of those that I worked with went from being co workers, to strong people that I respected, to amazing friends. Some did not end so great but some did not end, because these types of friendships don't ever end. I love that I found so many great people at one job. People that I could relate with, people I could get along with so well, people that I could call great friends, people I could SWOT with :) .
Though something ended bad it is not the exclamation point on the entire experience, it is just the end, that is all. There is a lot of great things that happened in seven years, and I thank all of those that helped make those seven years great!
