Hi Ms. Rose;
Happy Holidays and Happy Hanukkah to the you. Rainy Mist wanted me to asked... We are losing a team member at the end of this month, we have done what ever we could to find someone to replace this person (Ad in the newspaper, word of mouth) We have even called a temp service for early part of January to fill the position temporaily. It is not something we would like to do or can afford long term. Unfortunately no one has called from the ad. What is your take on finding someone soon?
Intuition tells me that we will be ok. however it just doesn't come fast enough...LOL I know in God's time and not mine.
Love to you and the boardies,
sw 6/19/63 LM 12/30/67

True Story
Aloha, Rose ~~~
I thought you might enjoy hearing about something that occurred a little while ago. Perhaps you've had a similar experience
:
I was on the phone, calling to verify a dental appointment. Seeing that I was on hold, my B&W girl, Chelsea, decided that it was just the right time to start a conversation with me.
"Mreow! Mreow! Mreow!" said Chelsea.
"Shhhh!" said I.
"Mreow! Mreow! Mreow!" said Chelsea.
"Hush!!!" said I.
"Yes, ma'am." says the dental receptionist, who had just come on the line.
ACK!!!
Hanging head in shame, I explained that I was talking to my cat, not to her.
Fortunately, she laughed, but I was SO embarrassed .....

job possibilities
Rose,
HI!! Wondering what is in store for my son regarding staying in Seattle and job possibilities for him. He moved 5 months ago with his girl friend and has applied for several different positions, but hasn't received any invitations for interviews. Do you have a sense what his future holds? Will he remain in Seattle. I encouraged him move there because leaving Hawaii was the next step for him and Seattle was a good start. NA 093080.
How about me? I have been doing my tutoring. I feel it's right, but looking for way to expand what I do. Any ideas? I have been looking into going back to college, but hasn't worked out. ma050549
Happy Holidays!!

Update on the job situation
Aloha, Rose ~~~
Previously, I mentioned how I felt as though my Principal has it "in" for me and that I was concerned about being fired at the end of the school year. I also said that on the day of my formal observation (a couple of weeks ago), three different crises occurred in the classroom and it was just a SLIGHTLY stressful day .....
Anyhoo -- Principal called me in on Wednesday to discuss the observation and (you'll appreciate this, Rose) you were right in your asssessment. She apparently does NOT plan to fire me. She was very nice and very complimentary, despite having been snippy and snooty the entire year until now. She had favorable comments on just about everything regarding the class and my staff, and said we were doing an excellent job. (I was stunned -- LOL.)
Regardless, much as I love teaching and working with kids, this is NOT the job I want in the long run. I still have some unresolved licensure "issues" that may prevent my finding another job until the end of the 2007 school year, but I'm going to keep looking anyway. I've also submitted an application to a program called New York City Teaching Fellows, which is designed for career changers and provides a subsidized education (lack of complete and appropriate education is my main licensure "issue"). However, given that the program receives upwards of 60,000 applications each year and hires only 1/8's of the applicants, I'm not holding my breath.
So, that's the scoop for now. Thanks for the words of encouragement, Rose. Sending lots of wonderful holiday wishes your way.
Peace, Love, Headbutts and Whisker Tickles ~~~

Hi Rose,
Switzerland was breathtaking! We went up to the alps on a clear sunny day, I'll never forget the view. I'm flying home for the holidays on Monday. How did that happen? Feels like I just got here! My birthday is on tuesday, 23 should be a wonderful year, I can feel it :) Do you think I could have a birthday reading? What will 23 be like?
Love Mel

The Reason
"When it seems too frustrating, tedious, difficult or
uncomfortable, stop for a moment and give yourself time to
remember. Stop for a moment and remember why you're doing it
in the first place.
When there's a meaningful reason behind what you're doing,
then you'll be able to find the motivation and the energy to
get it done. Connect yourself with that reason, and allow it
to push you forward.
Because you have a reason, you have a very real stake in the
outcome of your own efforts. Be sure to keep yourself
connected to whatever that reason may be.
The discipline, persistence, commitment and effectiveness
necessary to get the job done need substance to support and
maintain them. They require a real and meaningful reason, a
driving purpose, in order to thrive.
Whenever something starts to get you down, challenge
yourself to remember why you're doing it. Remember why, and
move ahead with a fresh, powerful, renewed sense of purpose.
Remember why, and you'll have what it takes to get it done."
Ralph Marston

Enjoyment and accomplishment
Certainly it is possible to get things done without enjoying
yourself. It is also possible enjoy yourself without getting
anything done.
However, the best approach is to get things done while also
enjoying yourself. That's the way to reach long-term success
and to build one accomplishment on top of another.
If you aim to simply enjoy yourself without getting anything
done, then the result is that you don't get anything done.
You may be very positive and cheerful, at least for the
moment, but after a while it will seem quite empty.
On the other hand, if you're driven to achieve, without any
consideration for the quality of your life along the way,
that can be empty, too. Sure, you may get what you want, but
you're also likely to become burned out and resentful.
Instead, seek to combine enjoyment and accomplishment.
There's no need to struggle against your own desire to enjoy
life, and there's no need to let that desire prevent you
from achieving what you intend to achieve.
Your best choice is to make the effort, move toward your
goals, and delight in the moments along the way. When you
enjoy the journey there's never any reason to stop.

Even the Smallest Step
A tiny little improvement is infinitely better than doing
nothing. For those tiny little improvements add up.
A small word of encouragement is far better than no
encouragement at all. Just imagine what it might mean to
someone.
Today you have the opportunity to make the world a better
place. Much more likely than not, that opportunity will come
in the form of something seemingly insignificant.
Yet though it may seem unimportant at the time, though no
one may notice, a small positive act can have a big positive
impact. Because it can create a positive momentum.
Even the small achievements are achievements. Even the
smallest step in the direction of your goal will bring you
closer to that goal, much closer than if you had done
nothing.
When you're able to take giant strides, by all means do so.
When you're not, then take whatever step you can, make
whatever improvement you can, offer whatever kindness you
can.
The positive momentum you establish and maintain will make
more of a difference than you might imagine. Even the
smallest step counts in a big way.

Hi Ms. Rose...
Long time no see... I have been preoccupied with a new Beau in my life... He's been shipped away for 6 months... guess I need to get refocused here...
Went on my first date in 10 years and it lasted 1 week...LOL ...It was just amazing how I could talk to him and we could tell each other things without any fear of judgement of my/our past.
He feels very familiar, like we were together in a past life... he doesnt believe it..it just seem like I have done this before and with him... his initials are BJK 9/25/66...Any info on him???
Huggs and kisses
