New job-transition
My wife told me the other day that I haven’t written about my new job yet. She thought I would be so excited that I would write about it. The fact is, on Friday after the interview I was so busy at work preparing for departure that I just didn’t get to it. So, here it is.
Yeah, I have a new job. I am thrilled. Words fail me to be able to describe how excited I am about this opportunity.
The other day I prepared notes and things that would help the person who is taking over my position. He is familiar with my job but needs a refresher. Today is the start of the transition. I find it hard to be patient with him. I will be patient and get through this part of the transition well. Tomorrow will be the last day here, and I hope we get everything done.
The new job. I will be in charge of the communications for the company. Start with the website and go from there. Wow. Great. Awesome. Super. What a new world I will have and look forward to.
Anyway, just had a second to write while we are on break.
What in the world?
What a dumb title. Anyway, as for the world, it is a good thing.
Remember the Bhuddist thought: By effort you will cross the raging flood, by energy you will pass by sorrow.
I haven’t written in a while because my thought have not been all that great. I guess I felt like there was not much to say. yes, I still write down things in my journal. Those are the thoughts that I keep close to me though.
All I can think about right now is the life changing experience that is before me. This will be great. But, I shall spill no more.
The other thing that is brilliant in my mind is putting the kids to bed last night. After David’s bath he picked out a book to read. He crawled into bed. He had to read the book from school first, which he did not want to do. Then he started to read the book that he picked out. I enjoyed the moment; just sitting there listening to him read each word deliberately. Some words came quickly. Some pages soared out of his mouth. I have learned to listen to those moments when they happen. They won’t be around forever. Yep, he read the whole book to me. And so many people say children with Down’s syndrome won’t be able to read.
