I am like Anne's little one... I take a few steps forward and make it or I fall on my tush! It's a good thing that God keeps helping me back up again.! Love to ya'll, Jennie

Rocky, I think we THINK too much!

This week I got my feelings hurt at work and by golly I am just gonna retire.  So I talked to my superintendent, some other teachers who want to retire, and if there were 4 of us they would give us a nice buy-out packet.  I was going for it.  Well, my hubby bout panicked and we crunched # and figured I'd have to work about 3 more years >:(  So I was visibly upset and wouldn't talk to him (how dare he forbid me to retire!).  So, I got out a prayer from the forum that I had printed off.  I just repeated and repeated....not my will but thine...it is not time right now, thank you Lord for showing me, help me rest in this,....not what I want..etc etc....the next AM I was able to be kind to my hubby and keep a smile on at work and when I got home my hub & I had a good laugh about it all.

Where are We????  Well, in my little corner of the world that was a biggie for me.  In the past I wouldn't have asked I would do what I want and face the music later. 

Tyranny of the Urgent!!!!!  Never ever do anything quickly that is a life changing event.  Or "Oh I've got to buy it RIGHT NOW cuz it won't be there tomorrow"-yes it will if God wants you to have it. 

Anyway, I don't know who to trust really at work now, who is the tattler???Hmmm.  So I am going to smile, be friendly, but shut my door and shut my mouth.

love,
gena

Gena bless your heart. I to have a place where I can go and shut the door and be left alone.

 The only thing is I will be retiring here in the next month or so and I am going to work part time some where else.

 I have been at this job of mine since I was 16 years old so I will let you do the math. I am now 49 and will be 50 in october.

 I am no longer happy here and since the promotion fell through I am as far as I can possibly go.

 Oh I could go back to school and work my way up the ranks in another area here but I would like to enjoy my retirement befor I turn 102.

 God bless you in all you do Gena and it matters not where you are you are always going to have those kind.
