The escape is complete

Posted on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 in Uncategorized

I am, as far as I can tell, no longer a teacher.
No, not quite true, as teaching is more a way of life and I don’t suppose I’ll ever lose the urge mercilessly to ram learning down the throats of the unwitting and to quell the unruly with a lift of the eyebrow. But I am, as far as I can tell, no longer employed as a teacher.
Tomorrow my new career begins.

I feel very strongly that this is where God wants me and, as an extra blessing, is very much what I want to do to. It doesn’t stop me being nervous, though. If you have a spare moment with nothing to do and you’re on talking terms with the Creator, I wouldn’t say no to a quick prayer or two on my behalf (or possibly on behalf of my new colleagues and those I will be caring for).

    Lots of prayers from the Antipodes as you sleep…unless you are an early riser: 5:44 by my guess.

    God bless: you’ll be wonderful!
