The Visit

Another day of a double post

because again I am blown away by how God works.

I started my earlier post by saying I was going to visit TES.

What I didn't say is that I slept little last night so overslept

until 9 am which is very late for me.

What I didn't say is that I would not have gone to TES

had I not had to go sign papers.

Yet, when I got there I was told that the whole staff was

in the library and the principal was speaking to each

employee to acknowledge what each meant to her.

Like on cue, I walked in and all were excited to see me.

As though I had timed it, she got to my name

and on my card she had written the word:

BEAUTIFUL

She proceeded to share that she felt that although

I was beautiful outside but that my inner beauty is

the part that shined for all to see.

Wow, did I need to hear that!

I decided to stay and hear what she had to say about

all of us, I felt reconnected to this group once again.

Then the award pins went out and I was there to accept my

own 30 year pin.

Thirty years to a profession that I never imagined to have.

I then had lunch with my preK and Kn. teachers at Flanagan's

and viewed the new building with all of them.

What a beautiful fresh start.

Our Principal earlier had us each take a balloon

and we were to release them outside releasing any negative

thoughts that ever surrounded ourselves with the old TES

to start in the new building with a fresh start,

I released my balloon knowing that I am going back

to work in August.

I can do this, I know I can.
