Everything ends.

That's where I kind of come to my life.

Every job, every life, every relationship, everything will end.

And the kind of the why it ends eventually doesn't matter.

It just ends.

And that's not people like, oh, that's so dark.

But I actually think it's light because then you appreciate what you have while you have it, knowing that it's not going to be forever.

Well, no, I knew that wasn't going to happen.

So the gift of not being let go that day did give me time.

First, I had my sad where, you know, I crawled under my covers and had my cry.

And then I kind of started looking around.

Well, what am I going to do?

So the options then were.

Try to get on with another network, like get up to MSNBC or Fox or one of, you know, ABC or CBS.

That would have meant moving.

And I really didn't want to do that.

Going back to local, I really didn't want to do that.

I also had kind of a realistic look of, well, I could go to the next thing, but I knew I was going to age out.

It's not like all women can't.

There are some women who go forward, but eventually some 20 something comes up.
