Excellent quotes, Elijah! And I agree that the secluded patio is most excellent! Have a blessed day with time for relaxation!

Those quotes are just what I needed as I am going back to school and finish my degree that I started before my hubby passed. I made a promise to him and my oldest son Jim and to myself that I would finish. I am hoping to get a part-time job as a teacher's aide as I won't be hired as a full-time teacher.

So glad for your decision. You won't regret it. You probably will make more money if you sign up to be a substitute teacher. You should get to pick the schools where you want to substitute. Check out the pay for substitutes. See which is more. Good luck.

Elijah's right, mamag - substitute teaching pays more and you can choose the days you work. Good for you on going back to complete your degree!

My whole life I have loved learning new things. In my mid sixties I am finding it quite difficult to learn to code, though. This inability to understand new things and master them is new to me. Very frustrating.

I know what you mean: as we age, we learn more slowly. But we make up for it by forgetting what we learn more quickly! I have a similar experience trying to master ballroom dancing, but my motto is, "To the mountain top...inch by inch."
Lovely place to just relax and ponder how to handle the difficulties in the day. Have a day with few difficulties but tons and tons of blessings, joy, and love.
