Day breaks and the veil is lifted
Into the darkness light is sifted
With rains the sky is cleansed
I see clearly through a new lens
From a cave I burst into bright day
The blindfold removed as I run away
Leaving behind sorrows and tears
New found courage replaces my fears
I run to the edge and leap for the sky
Confident that truly I can finally fly
There are moments in every life where in an instant you can see clearly. What we do with that truth is the measure of our heart and mind. I was driving to the university and all of a sudden I saw clearly the situation that had been hovering before me. With that clear vision I could also see the path that would lead me away from the confusion and uncertainty. It seemed so simple. However my frustration and even anger had obscured the solution. I was able to let go of all of the roadblocks and deal with problem efficiently.
I know you are all wondering what my problem was. Well, it related to my former work and the expectation by some that I was still responsible for certain tasks. I am now able to chuckle softly and respond with civility. And I’m retired and I don’t work for them and I’m not responsible for their problems… (shakes head and laughs hard in the privacy of my home).

ah glad you found some resolution … knew you hadn’t been yourself Val!
Feels good to let the rubbish go doesn’t it 🙂

Absolutely… It wasn’t all that serious but some people can’t move on with change. They try to resist and keep things the same – perhaps out of a sense of comfort in the routine or maybe they just didn’t get the memo. Either way, they are now “with the program” and have been pointed in a different direction!

Thanks. It was frustrating but I’ve stepped away. It might take a few more times before everyone is on board but positive progress is made.

Sometimes letting go is a hard thing. But once you make the decision a peace can come to you.

Sometimes we are too close to the situation to see clearly. By taking a step back I could see the bigger picture and thus the solution!

Clarity often comes unexpectedly. I’m glad everything came into focus – even if it is a past situation. Sometimes we need that clarity just for peace of mind. peace & smiles

Sort of past… I’ve been working for two of the labs so I’ve been around. It was kind of a pin the tail on the donkey thing – people just wanted me to handle things because I was there…

Some have suggested that retired nurses rejoin the workforce because of COVID-19. Umm, NOPE. My new mantra: “Not my circus, not my monkeys.” 🙂

No way would any sane person come out of retirement to put themselves in harms way! I have been chanting “not my monkey, not my circus” for awhile now!

No. Just pester me with questions and recriminations about how they can’t do something because it is my problem… All has been resolved and now they are only asking for advice instead of blaming me for abandoning them.
