Hello, Chrissie and Tea!

Mel, I have to say, that graphic of Chrissie and Holly on their rebounders is quite funny!

Chrissie, I am moving south of Raleigh, NC, less than an hour. I am definitely not in a big city. I am just outside a sleepy little Southern town. We have a house being built, and it will be ready when we get there at the end of July. It is in a community that is being developed by two separate builders, and each has numerous home design options, so the neighborhood will not be “cookie cutter.” It’s not a retirement community, but there is a community pool. My husband was born and raised in North Carolina, and he still has family there, so he knows the area much better than I do. However, I am not a native New Englander (I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA), so I do not feel as though I am leaving my “home,” even though I have been here for 35 years. I will adjust. Like everything else, it will just take some time. I have a lot of friends in New England who will keep in touch and come visit, and I have a lot of dear friends on the forum as well.

Thank you for the advice related to my digestive system! I greatly appreciate it!

I definitely feel about 300% less stressed knowing that I never have to return to full-time high school English teacher ever again! I am still connected to the school email (that will end soon, I am sure), and today they came out with THE PLAN for the fall. Let me tell you: I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I will not be there! I just feel so sorry for my friends who will have to endure it. The world has surely gone a little crazy. God definitely had His hand in my decision to leave when I did. I got out just in time.

I am getting SO much restorative sleep. I sleep until I feel like getting up, which is such a blessing. I think I was literally sleep-deprived for the past three decades. I take a 3-4 mile walk every day (the weather has been beautiful here), and I have upped my water intake tremendously. I am consciously monitoring my stress and not allowing myself to fixate on negative thoughts. I pray and read the Bible more because I have the time and because I have committed myself to do so. It has made a HUGE difference. For a long time, I do not think I was QUIET enough to hear God because my life was stuffed full to the brim due to work. That makes breathing easier.

Tea, thank you for the Bible verse (which made me tear up a little), and thank you as well for watching my speech. Actually, there were a number of forum ladies (and Donald!) who were able to see the speech I gave to the senior class, my words of wisdom after 32 years. For those of you who heard it and were listening very carefully, you might have caught this VERY personal piece of advice that was near the close of the speech.

I said: “Make sure to take care of your physical and mental health because the cost of not doing so might be too great.”

Oh, if those kiddos I have taught in the past four years only knew the truth about what their teacher has endured! It is better, however, that they never know that.

It was awfully nice to be on Sunday’s conference call and hear so many familiar voices! I am hoping to make the calls this weekend, but we have Alan’s children this weekend, and it is one of the final weekends we have with them before we move. We will miss them a lot. It is also Father’s Day this weekend, so I am sure we will do something to celebrate as well.

Both of you (and Holly, too!) are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as everyone on the forum!

Jamie
