3/20/06

Today begins my vacation. My class starts today. I also just discovered that the "Big Event" I have been waiting for at work starts today - really my whole reason for existence at work. It is an unannounced thing - my boss assured me that I needed to carry on with my life and not hold off vacations, etc., for an unannounced event. Whoda thunk it would happen on the one week I am not there? Out of all the weeks that I am? And on a day when no one is going to be on time because the roads are horrible?

I am going to go to my class and try my best to forget what is going on at the hospital. This is going to really be a spiritual exercise. Get rid of my ego and the thought that I am so indispensible to the hospital that I should come in even though I have made other plans. I also left everything on my desk, everything is in order so that others can go forward with what needs to be done. I need to LET GO.

I will now go outside and shovel some snow. And let go. let go. let go. let go.

I am with you how dare they do a big event without me. I am so important.

It is nice to know that the world can go on without us. Some of us could really have it messed up. Today I am so glad I am not in charge.

Enjoy your vacation I will be looking forward to hearing about this icon thing you are doing.

Is it gone yet? Does it have claw marks on it?

I hope that talking about "it" and sharing "it." Took some of "it's" power away.

Enjoy your vacation and all that it beholds.
