According to Mark Nepo (spiritual writer/philosopher), "There are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths." Well, this hiker, is getting tired of exploring!
Tonight, when I left work, well after 7 pm (parents-teacher meeting), I had a heart-to-heart with my heart. I advised her to get out of the classroom because neither Body or Vanity like what they see; dark circles under eyes, unsightly cuticles, brittle nails, blotchy, flakey skin, grinding teeth at night, and many more wrinkles. Obviously, Pride and Integrity, foe to self-preservation, will not return to sanity. As a friend pointed out, at least now I know for sure that I made the right decision to retire. However, the million-dollar question remains, how to survive this unexpected turn of events (long term substitute teaching)?
