Blog Notes

Posted on 7:41 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

It's hard to find time to blog these days.  The river of life is flowing fast and there is so much going on.  Many changes every day. 
People are looking at my house.  Someone will buy it soon.  Then I'll be homeless. Where will I stay?  Yikes!!!
  
There is still too much stuff in the house and shop building.    There is so much to do to make the house more appealing to buyers! Painting! Weeding! Mowing! Hauling things away!   I have hired some help. Can't hire help much though.  It's costly.   YIKES!

I've rented a storage space for my son's stuff and for the few things I'm taking with me in the RV. I'll be moving some things to storage this weekend.  I have things that belong to other people.  I need to get those where they belong. Yikes!!!!!
 
Speaking of RVs, I need to purchase one.  Yikes!!!! 

I've turned in all the necessary paper work to retire.  One month left and I'll be unemployed.   My office at work still needs more cleaning out.  The last semester at work is coming to an end.   Lots of testing and grading and reporting to do.  Yikes!!!!!!
   
More to do:
Get electronic billing and paying set up and working.
Pay off as many things as I can.
Pack
Deal with Einstein
Go to the doctor and figure out my meds
Call the insurance company and figure out my meds and coverage
Have things turned off and canceled
Forward mail to where?
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these Yikes!!!!! require some relief so I'm going to NOLA with Christy and Jesse in May.  I need a break.
 
This is a very busy, exciting, and scary time in my life.  w00t! w00t! It is filled with mixed feelings, beginnings and endings, and goodbyes with no hellos.  Going on adventure and saying goodbye to places and people for what may very well be the last time is a bitter yet sweet experience. 

See what else I’m doing.

Removing armor

Posted on 9:10 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

Some days life is glorious and I wish I was holding hands with someone sharing the adventure.
Other days life is challenging and I wish I had a hand to hold so I wouldn't be facing the challenge alone. It is days like that when I know  I have work to do.  I have to dig deeper.  It is time to remove some armor and expose my heart a bit more.  It is a time to learn more about walking in faith.
Whenever I'm uncomfortable, I know I've found the edge of my box. I remove as much armor as I can, open my heart as wide as I can, and move forward rather than retreating back into the safety of my comfort zone.
I'm pushing out the edges of my box in several areas these days.

  1. Putting my house on the market even though it's not ready to sell
  2. and still has a lot of stuff in it that needs to be dealt with
  3. and I have no where to go 
  4. The date for leaving my job is only months away and my cash flow will be greatly reduce
  5. I have to go deal with the doctor again (no worries, I'm not sick though I think he wishes I was)
  6. The IPEDS report is very important to the college.  It was assigned to me and I don't know much about what to do.  
The more armor I take off the more I can open my heart, and the more I see, hear, love, and enjoy life.
