Well I didn’t do to much today just broke down the shipment set the shoes up and marked the sales ones down. Other than that more training and just cleaning. I’m thankful to have the job though. I really look forward to the day when I have a car though…On Wednesday I have to close with a lady who barely knows English. That could be interesting…
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.”
I Do Not Love Thee
by Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton
I do not love thee!—no! I do not love thee!
And yet when thou art absent I am sad;
And envy even the bright blue sky above thee,
Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad.
I do not love thee!—yet, I know not why,
Whate’er thou dost seems still well done, to me:
And often in my solitude I sigh
That those I do love are not more like thee!
I do not love thee!—yet, when thou art gone,
I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear)
Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone
Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.
I do not love thee!—yet thy speaking eyes,
With their deep, bright, and most expressive blue,
Between me and the midnight heaven arise,
Oftener than any eyes I ever knew.
I know I do not love thee! yet, alas!
Others will scarcely trust my candid heart;
And oft I catch them smiling as they pass,
Because they see me gazing where thou art.
I just finished my first year of teaching. The second half flew by. I’m working at Payless this summer and then still part time during the school year as well. I have one more week of training then I should be able to work at a store closer to my house.
