Today was my last day. I wondered how it would go. I wondered if I would be sad and how hard it would be to tell some goodbye. Honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. I will keep in touch with those I care anything about. We will stay connected and even see each other on occasion. Something was reinforced today. Events of the morning made all easier, despite the insult I am thankful that the rest of the day was improved. My department “head” was rude. It’s true, if you wait long enough the true character of a person will be revealed as well as how they truly view you. Sarcasm says so much when used at the “right” moment. It can be funny. It can express frustration. However, at times it is the most revealing tone of communication. At first I was bothered, but I realize just how pathetic the situation is and am thankful that I am no longer a part of it. I do feel bad for my department friends though. I will miss my immediate administrator. He is a man of true character.

Tomorrow is another day. I have to attend an ESL workshop. I really think it will be beneficial. It is required. Well, not the workshop, but attending a workshop of some kind is. I owe the district one day.

Happy note…12 years together!!! Smiles to my Djembe. A few anniversary quotes:
It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ~Rita Rudner

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow. ~Author Unknown

Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert Heinlein

I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.
