9:30am and I need to get in the shower and get going for the day. My routine of coffee and reading is done. Currently, I'm reading The Ambassador by Morris West. It's an old book and I think it's out of print. There is a quote of a prayer in this book that I love and hold dear.
If there be light, show me light.
If there be power, extend it to me.
If there be forgiveness, forgive.
If there be tomorrow, grant me a hope in it.
And if there be all these things, but not for me,
Give me the patience to endure the not having.
I need to print it out and frame it and read it every day.
My life is changing again. I'm waiting for a call or an email from my most likely employer some time this week. I retired 7 months ago, but got an offer that I just couldn't refuse. It's 99% that I'll take the job, but still waiting for the contract offer to make sure that compensation and benefits are what I want, and worth coming out of retirement.
Will check in later.
