Haven’t gone yet…
Still here to disturb you until Friday at least. 3 more days of work…aaahhhhhh…
Thank you for all the comments, wishes and prayers: I can still scarcely believe I am going. Cannot wait.
A bit busy at work…trying to get things done before I go: and some things, as Murphy would have it, have taken longer than expected. But I am getting through it, thanks be to God.
I had another good talk to a different work colleague on Friday about stress, depression, anxiety…among other, happier, topics. As someone I not only greatly respect as an intelligent man, but also one of most humble, joyous and personable people one could ever be blessed to cross paths with, the ability to converse and seek opinion was particularly special. God is indeed gracious: I have been blessed with not only wonderful family and friends, but colleagues too. I may get stressed and frustrated at times, and last week was a tough week indeed where I was pondering my future, but the colleagues I have, together with my role, make it the place for me to be now — and probably for some time. Thanks and praise be to God.

Ah, you are truly blessed! It is awesome to have people that you work with who can also be a sounding board for more than “just” work. When one is in a work situation like that, life seems more comfortable!
I had to laugh about your remark about “Murphy”. Our younger Scottie is named Murphy and whenever ANYTHING goes wrong at our house, Michelle claims “Murphy did it!” The poor little fellow has a great and long list of offences…..everything from leaving dirty dishes around the house to being the cause for what seem like computer “gremlins”!
I am thinking this week is going to be very busy for you! Just remember to relax and de-stress from time to time!
