RE: Reflections: My "Road to Recovery" Trip

in #life5 years ago

That is certainly a well-thought of road to recovery. Why, I am the one getting excited. 😀

You must be very patient and yet headstrong to have stayed with your job in spite of the stress. People would usually tender their resignation within the notice period on the contract (max of 60 days is what I've had so far) then go. But you stayed much longer. Congratulations on your fortitude but more congratulations on your decision to retire. Sometimes, stress is not worth fighting no matter what the package has.

You are a blessed man and deserve a well-planned vacation. Enjoy and stay safe!

It was a lift to my spirits, to come home from a long day at work and find a reply from my “rocket redfish” friend @macoolette! Thank you for the kind words and well wishes. They mean a lot!

Well, actually, it may be I am not very bright or a bit slow, or some nasty combination of both … 😉

Seriously, just a short time left now and then “out on the road!” Can’t come soon enough …

Until next time @macoolette, all the best to you!

Rocket redfish… I think I am starting to like the description. 😊

Staying while planning to leave is not being slow or dull. Sometimes it is a chance to see if you can be a catalyst of change. Anything can happen in a day.

I hope you are doing great over there!

Home from “another day in paradise” and ohhh @macoolette, I see I have to apologize to you. 😞 I have not kept up with your progress and see now you are no longer a “rocket redfish,” but a “minnow!”

Let’s see. What would you like to be now? “Missile Minnow?” Maybe “Magic Minnow?” 😉 I am also a minnow, which is where I started. Steem’s base 10 system makes reaching each successive level considerably more difficult.

Seriously, thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I have been called a “change agent” for most of my career. But, there comes a time to just stop any delusion that change is coming. And move on …

There is no need to apologize because I am not yet officially a minnow. I just got more SP because of delegations but when those delegations are retracted, I am left with my own SP. Though I hope to complete the SP for minnowhood within this month. By then, I'll think about either missile or magic minnow, or maybe something else. Let's see... 😊

Okay, very good @macoolette. Thanks for straightening me out!

"Though I hope to complete the SP for minnowhood within this month"

Good time to do it. "Fire sale" on STEEM right now! Great Christmas present to yourself! 😊 👍

P.S. I would encourage you @macoolette, to join @steemcommunity's Minnow Power-Up League. Lots of fun to join in with others working their way up to becoming a dolphin!

Oh yes, I saw that power-up league sometime ago. I may revisit it when I officially become a minnow. 😊 As always, thank you for the encouragement and boosting.
