It has been a while since I sat to write this blog. I've done plenty of writing. Most of it technical for the job. So my excuse is: Between this being my busy time of year and trying to stay in shape I haven't written any reflective thoughts.
However, most of that time my mind was working. I even made a few decisions.
There are too many benefits to my morning walk to ever make a list and the benefits change regularly. One benefit that stays constant is a walks ability to clarify decisions. My first moment of clarity arrived and it became clear that Caring Kim and I should get married. We are not married, be we made the decision to do it. I thought about the tax implications and she thought about strangling me for having the thought.
Then there is big decision number two. How I spend my days. For 56 years straight I have been part of a school community as a student, teacher or principal. I think that needs to change. It hasn't changed yet, but I made the decision to do it. Some folks may suggest that I left the building already, but they should leave that type of humor to me.
Marriage and a new job...whew...that's a lot of deciding. Maybe on my walks I'll think about great smells, frogs, the golf cart lady, deer, spiders, and ancient Eastern philosophy.
