Reflections from Paul
I could have never imagined a day in January where I would have been contemplating which day in the week that I would be cutting my grass. This reflection comes after 42 years of living in the frozen tundra that we call Minnesota.
Today was a beautiful 60 degree day in which I spent a little bit of time cleaning out portions of the garage and retrieving some of the household supplies for Coral that she had been doing without since we moved here.
I was in a short sleeved polo shirt, and not cold In the least, coral was working through her homework, the dogs were content, Ashley was being her normal self, curious to learn anything and everything, the cats were very content to lounge around and clean each other and lounge around enjoying the warmth.
Tomorrow night will be a cold night here though, It will be 28 degrees, we will have to drip the faucets to keep the pipes from freezing, To date we still have not turned on the gas to the house as we are using a Kerosene heater for the most part, It is very hard to justify running a furnace here with days like this in January. My boss will be with me in the morning to review all of my operations as is pretty common in my business.
Today, for the second time since I began my new career here in Savannah I had to terminate an employee. I have a heart that I wear on my sleeve so this is very difficult for me to accept. He was terminated for all the appropriate reasons, but he was very young and this will follow him for a very long time. I am a very compassionate man when it comes to people in general, I do not like that part of my job.
Just a reflection of the day, and a promise of a new tomorrow.
