A Year of Goodbyes

The end of the year can be a time of mixed emotion, but with the weather and the new year, it can sometimes be a bit melancholy. Factor in a bunch of farewells, and it can get downright depressing.

I just got word that one of our favorite restaurants is closing. Stella’s is moving on to bigger and better things, what a bummer, we love that place. They are an institution, and now they’ve sold the place and are relocating. I’m not sure what they’ll call themselves, but what a bummer.

Our library director left, and various hockey board people have indicated that they’ll be gone by the end of this season. Not only board people, but certain coaches will probably be gone, not to mention assorted players. It’s definitely going to be a time of change in the next year.

Oh well, life goes on, right? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bummed, but like many things in life, you have to just keep plugging on. Change is what makes life move forward, even if it’s uncomfortable and scary. That’s how we grow as individuals, and it definitely makes for a good story.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to ruminatrix for the pic.
