Daily Manna

Today is one of those days that decisions have been made and more decisions are being made in light of making the previous decisions.   It is like a house of cards.   I made a decision, yesterday, to resign from a position I have held for two years which was draining me of my own life, and now I have loaded up stuff in a laundry basket and am waiting for the next person to come take it out of my house and my thoughts.  My best regards to them and in a few months, they will be screaming for someone to take it from them.   It won't be me!

But, as soon as it was all packed up, I had to start making plans for what I had put on hold for these two years --like a book I was writing and a party I was giving for my son on Friday night and the miniscule arrangements like a permanent I was getting this afternoon.

So I started with my notebook and made my daily list, including setting up a phone interview this morning with Carroll Eggemeyer in St. Louis, Football team of 1955 and I was so surprised to hear myself really laugh with him again.  I knew I had made the right decision for me.   Lop it off, count your losses but don't fixate on them, and move on!   Daddy taught me that and it was a hell of a lesson.  (Sorry, Daddy, for the bad word!)  (I once heard him say, "Heck, fire," and I thought that the Lord would strike him down and me, too for standing so close.)

So, I will be waiting for the Daily Manna and will take it and run with it.   My book is at the tedious part and you can't work on it all day long.  I need more manna to sift through.
