Today I start a new job.

Friends of mine have asked, “Are you excited?!”

This morning over coffee my partner asked, “Are you nervous?”

No.  I’m not excited.  No, I’m not nervous.  The word came later…resignation.

What a word. 

“Unresisting acceptance of something as inescapable; submission.” (from The American Heritage Dictionary)

That is it.
