Thanksgiving ramblings....

In recent years, I have never really known what to expect from Thanksgiving Day... This year was a good one.. Took a long drive by myself...The weather was perfect, traffic was not bad at all. Then spent time reading a book and drinking hot chocolate. Made several decisions about my life...
I will start on my second Master's degree in January... It will be a Master's in American History... I am working on updating my Academic Vita (vita...Latin for "path of one's life" In the non-academic world, it is called a resume) I am planning on hitting the internet superhighway of teaching jobs in Florida about February. I think it is time that I moved onto some new adventure... so... I am gonna try my best to get as close to the kids in Orlando as I can. I would love to teach History on the community college level...(Hence the second Master's in American History.) I think I have done about all the damage to the Tift County School System I can... Teacher of the Year, Teacher of the Year for Wal-Mart and Teacher of Excellence...That last one I had always hoped for but never dreamed I would be "tapped" for it...
Thanks and apologies both go to my family for their support/my comments recently....
One thing I have found great satisfaction in recently is typing for Brother Barrieneau at church so he can feel a part of Sacrament meeting... Helps me to focus more and feel more of the Spirit when I do this..

Wow, that was some long drive to make those kind of decisions, but it sounds as though you may have finally begun moving on with your life, both literally and figuratively, in a very positive way. That must have been some kind of book and hot chocolate. Seriously, I think your decisions sound wonderful for you and I will do whatever I can to support you. You need and should be happy and you will never really be happy until you can move on and be happy with yourself. You deserve great things and I've felt for a long time that those great things are beyond the wide boundaries of Tift County; of Georgia. There's a big world out there and with your guts and spunk, you can find real happiness.
