At some point in our careers, we may find ourselves part of an obsolete operation, such as a downsizing, business insolvency, or even a single retail store closing. This can be a time of positive reflection for us, if we “step back” and ponder good things that have happened, as well as all new things we have learned. Such was case for us, not long ago. Our store was closing. I could take time to list all shoulda, coulda, woulda items that may have made a difference, and perhaps even have saved store, but at this point, it doesn’t matter anymore. This is written to add human perspective and feeling when considering impending change. We had already had our last “store meeting”. It turned out to be a barbeque at someone’s home. Our store manager arranged for all of us to be at store together for a one hour window of time. He bought everyone a tall fruit smoothie drink and we just sat around and talked and laughed. Then it occurred to us that this would be last time all of us would ever be together at same time again. The store would close, some of us were moving, and we would all go our own separate ways, forever. We had made efforts to let others know who had worked with us in past that store was closing. I had written a poem about event and had given copies to all who I thought may care. It went like this:“Remembering When” Where does one begin? How does one collect thoughts The feelings and essence of an Era that has come to a close? To simply put words to paper Does not convey yearnings The hopes and excitement The companionship and triumphs that Were waged and won Individually and as a team As we strived for best In each other and collectively To make a success of our dreams. And now, at it’s passing We reflect on special times The sweet times The personal times of joy and tears Shared among us, for us and Because of us for The essence of life Was not within these walls But within heart The mind, and blood Of those within.
