After attending a retirement seminar on our state teacher plan, it may end up being a couple more years just to pad my annuity...we'll just have to take it one step at a time, just like that hike.Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260969528787608869.post-55452368791780303982021-07-02T18:54:41.318-05:002021-07-02T18:54:41.318-05:00Fran, congratulations on completing this school ye...Fran, congratulations on completing this school year as well! I credit your posts among the soul-sustaining reasons for making it through. Thank you for the different perspective on the "eight"--I had forgotten about infinity--but it makes sense in hindsight, with the infinite number of ways this school year could have gone.Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260969528787608869.post-8842746399172331972021-07-02T18:52:36.271-05:002021-07-02T18:52:36.271-05:00Thank you, Denise!

Then there's the symbolism of the number eight: stands for hard work, hard lessons, accomplishing things ... can't help but tie that to your OLW, "results." There's lots of interpretations for eight (including infinity and abundance) but what I enjoy most is how the years whisper loud enough to make us stop and take stock. And trust me - I know about wonky reports after this year -!! There were a few I couldn't complete adequately so I just put in some asterisks and explanations and let it go. Done. Cheers to you and summertime!

Glad you made it through this year--the whole year was wonky, not just the report, I guess. Yes, enjoy some hiking and rest time before you get back to the library. All the best.
