Another one joins the flock (III)

[Mike85]

Went to bed early (10:30) last night, after doing the full litany of prayers and then reading my SW book.

Got up early, prayed some more, and then went to my new district. I still don't have keys yet to my room, so I went to the h.s. office to borrow the secretary's master key. While in the main office, my new boss introduced me to a veteran teacher and described their getting me from my old district like getting "Brett Favre is his PRIME" (it's a VERY football-oriented school district). DANG but that made me feel good. Spent several hours in my new classroom getting the place decorated and making it my own. Felt freaking great. Only left b/c I had to take my cat to the vet for her rabies & distemper shots.

After bringing a very pissed-off cat back home, I spent an hour and a half floating in my pool, swigging some good Canadian beer and listening to the Tragically Hip. I actually, for some reason in my blissful state, decided to pray. I thanked God for the wonderful day, thanked Him for W, and asked that she open her heart to Him and to me soon. No anger, no sadness, ... just a peaceful request. For some reason, I got the deep, strong feeling that this is doable... that God will give me the patience, the strength, the wisdom, the faith, etc. to see this through and that W will return.

For a "science guy," spiritual epiphanies are a weird thing.

But they feel so good.
