Old Guy Wisdom

So tonight is a quiet night, welcome after my board meeting last night. It wasn't a bad one, just a really long day. Funny, this living without a television because I'm getting so much done! Michelle loaned me a book "Coyote Medicine" that I finished last night, darn it. It was really good and I wanted to read more of the doctor/shaman's stories! Tonight I took a good long walk and then made a healthy dinner, and sat down to peruse my new weaving book. What a weakness books are! And yarn and fabric and plants....

I find that I am anxious for this next two years to end so I can be done with this job and get on with my real life. It's so soothing to snuggle in with a book full of texture and color and creativity, rather than having to fix troubles for people who are so often ungrateful.

I have a feeling that this job has been a gift though, because I have learned so much from dealing with people who just don't understand rules and how to follow them! I have also come to recognize what is important, soul deep important, and that Joe's right, as Joe usually is.... relationships are all that matter. It pays to be friends with the Old Guy.
