I hadn't thought that it had been a whole week since I last wrote. But apparently there is a routine forming that I am not aware of. Last Wednesday I got into my office earlier and again today. Sheila isn't even gone off to work yet and I am here, so I need to take advantage of this extra moment and do this. I have had a thought (among many) hanging around for a few days that I want to articulate for me as well as for this entry. I expressed it to myself this way: "I am receiving executive pay for blue collar work." What I mean by that is that I am feeling so very blessed (actual feelings) as if I were earning based upon great service or fantastic talents. I feel compensated way beyond what I am actually doing (as if we can actually 'earn' blessing anyway). Sure, we are showing up at our assignment, but not much more. I am not teaching. I am still struggling with knowing all of those fine folks by name. I just sit around a lot. Yet, I feeling as if we are doing this great thing. I 'feel' it. It is hard to explain, because it is hard for me to understand. But it is so real to me. I am living on a higher plane then before and I don't deserve it. Maybe that is my 'key'. Do we ever deserve 'it'? I just know that this is where I want to be. So for now I'll keep on serving meagerly and graciously receive my unjust compensation and journey on.
