It's Spring Break, and I know if it was a work week, it would be Monday... but, of course, the days are flying by! I know... I'm retired, so what does it matter? It seems as if I have more to do than ever... since I retired! I've been working two part-time jobs, both teaching jobs, and they have really been tiring, but not stressful. Thank God for a good rep, I guess! This guy I know, who has tried to get teaching jobs, just can't seem to get one. He has taught before, but I guess his reputation as a teacher isn't as good as he thinks it is!
I am taking the spring quarter off from one of my jobs... the one I probably shouldn't have taken anyway... and I was seriously considering not going back for the summer quarter. I was planning on resting... that is, until the dean of the community college where I work recommended me for a summer program at Harvard. I don't know if I'll get the chance to do it, there are many applicants, but we'll see! I am so blessed!!
Anyway, spring break has been a chance to do some "spring cleaning"... not of my house, though it does need it (especially my closet)... but of the negatives in my life that need to be gone. Sometimes we "old folks" hold on to things we just ought to let go, and people we need to just bid a fond farewell to because they weigh us down. I guess we hold on because so many of the people we once knew have passed away, and we feel like we ought to hold on to those that are left. Let me tell you, that's not a good thing to do! People who treat you like trash are themselves trash, and need to be thrown away!
Spring cleaning time is a time to put out the "trash" and breathe in some fresh air!!
