Where Am I Going To?

I know it isn't for good and somehow I still volunteered to be working on a project while I am on maternity leave but I am still feeling very sad about leaving today knowing that I won't be returning for many moons. I just have my space here and my life here that has been something that has brought me so much joy and to leave it all behind temporarily feels wrong. It is so nice to be at a place where I feel accomplished and appreciated. It is so rewarding to be working with people who bring so much support and joy and food into the office. By far, Terri has been the best boss. She has been a person who I can learn from and who welcomes our growth (both inside and outside of the office). I love how she fosters our dreams and encourages our continnual persuit of education. I don't think I realized how sad this day would actually be for me. I guess I assumed that the "break" would be more welcomed but I can't help but wonder what is going to happen now? How will my committment to my work or my performance differ from its current position? Will I be able to balance work and home now that the baby will be present (c'mon now we all know I am not good at switching focuses like that)
