Birthday Thoughts

Well today is the day. I am officially Jack Benny's age (for those who have never heard of Benny, he was comedian, in the golden age of radio, who was always 39). Today is a busy day for me.

Yesterday, I was asked if I like my job and could I see myself retiring from there. the answer is yes, I do love my job, which surprised me, because years ago I hated it. While I would like to own my own store(s) or get back into full-time non-profit
work, I could see myself retiring from the company I work for. They have excellent benefits and unlike most companies, pay for 75% of my insurance.

Speaking of which, Blue Cross is conducting health screenings for my company today, so at 10 am, I will be getting a free exam which will include my first ever cholesterol test. Which is something that I certainly have wanted to do and that I need.

I will end the day by going to work and taking care of some of the best customers that I have ever had the honor of working for.

In addition I think I will stop by and at the very least get prices on stencils and spray paint, in preparation of painting curbside address numbers.

oh, by the way, Yesterday, was payday at work and I finally received my check from Edward Jones, so I can start getting some debts caught up again.

  4. Happy Birthday, Kevin.
    I'm glad things are looking up for you.
    Oh, and it's spelled "cholesterol".
    It's good if your cholesterol level is below 200.

    proverbs 16 The wise of heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

    Understanding is a fountain of life to the one who has it, But the discipline of fools is folly.

    The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.

    Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

    There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

    A worker's appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him on.
