Time comes in all lives when a person says “That’s enough…I’m done…” It is turning off the tractor, closing the grade book, handing over the keys, and walking away.
Point of this post:
Recognize when it is time to stop, to walk away.
You
know when it is time, you can feel it. Do not deny the hip, knee, or
shoulder. Do not ignore pain or sense of exhaustion. Growing old is
serious business.
A
number of issues forced me to retire from teaching, a good ten years
early. Pain took me out. Changes in state requirement were strangling
teachers and education.
Mainly, joy was leaving me.
When that joy is gone, it is time to stop, to walk away, and head to something that returns joy to you.
Have you done that? Can you do that?
This was written back in 2019, I think... Life was different for me then.
Now a days, I have to really search for joy.
Instead I must, absolutely must, search for moments of joy
and celebrate them.
Not hours of joy, but just moments of joy will be good.
