Does this desk need me?

The ah-ha moments in life are unexpected and sometimes, quite literally, take your breath away. Mine are sometimes far and few between, but like a full moon, when they happen, I can't help but take notice of how large and significant they can be.

I realized today, about ten minutes ago, that I'm not suppose to be where I am right now. I'm sitting in this office, thinking that I love it and thinking that I am supposed to be here helping this business in their time of need. I still feel that I am needed, but not for long. I had a strong pull a few moments ago that I just wanted to go into my managers office, give my two weeks notice, say goodbye to Manhattan and go somewhere that is in dire need of help-not pushing papers to help a few extra hands free up.

Maybe the trip this weekend has stired my heart to serve in ways and places where I never have before and this is just a jumping off point of excitement. Maybe I am angry because my boss just pulled me into her office and, because she neglected to tell me 6 months ago, I have been working nine hour days which she can't pay me for. Maybe I have finally reached my 'nice' point with this job and have hated it all along. Maybe I'm being silly, tired, and frustrated because I have not had a break since high school graduation and just miss my bed...Though, maybe, just maybe...I'm not as tired and worn as my body is telling me and I really am being strongly called to walk strongly and boldly somewhere else in this beautiful world...
