And So It's Done...

*This plaque was given to me by a friend and former co-worker after I had been with the bookstore for about six months. It says "Employee of the Month, Every Month, Because She is the Pretty One." It has been a prized possession of mine and a fixture in the store ever since - until today.*

Well, it's official...I am unemployed. My sweet little bookstore has closed it's doors for good. I didn't sleep well last night. I just wasn't sure how today was going to pan out. Turns out it was an emotional roller coaster.

I went in with the "business as usual" attitude but as things got dismantled and objects began leaving the building, it hit me - we're done. We're over. There is no tomorrow for the store. It ended here today. Honestly, I was fine until I got home and now I can't seem to stop crying every time I think about it.

I'll write more tomorrow but for now...well, let's just say that we did everything that we could and as a business, we ended well. God has a plan for us all and though none of this makes sense right now, He will provide.
