Hello,
My co-workers and I received some news the other day; our jobs are in jeopardy because we will be merging with another board, another company, so it means changes and possibly not in our favor. My co-workers have been murmuring all day about it, wondering what’s going to happen to our jobs. I wondered too then decided not to and for two hugely important reasons: one, I cannot do anything about the merger other than do my job the best to my ability until I don’t have to anymore. Two—the most important reason—if I no longer have a day job, I can write during the daylight hours, live my dream of the perfect writing life: up early, exercise, a cup of coffee while I write until its time for my children to wake for the day, drive them to school and even stay for an hour as a classroom volunteer, then back home to write and read until its time to pick them up. Heaven. I'm going to indulge in this until I have to look for another position.
Will any of this happen? I don’t know; the only thing I do know is that I’m not going to worry about something I can’t change, I’ll deal with what comes my way, make it work and no matter what: keep on writing because it’s something that can’t be taken away from me.
If you have any comments or suggestions please e-mail me at my new address: shabazzl@adasbcc.org.
Until next time, God willing,
