Return Of An Old Feeling

Last night I had the privilege of attending the Decades dinner by the CSEA where they honor classified employees who have worked at the school for 10, 20, and 30 years. As I walked in I could see smiles on everyone present. Administrators, Faculty and Classified employees present were happy to be there. At times I sensed their smiles bordered on giddiness. I went downstairs to use the starbucks wifi system with my iPod and saw the goodbye email from ... (Well you know who?)
 I started thinking to myself "Could it be? Or am I imagining things?"
I went back upstairs and  relived the feelings that made me fall in love with Rio Hondo College 7 years ago. I had not experienced this feeling for the last five years.
Did I feel it or was it my imagination? Was it my own feelings of relief that I was seeing in their faces?
