All Over Again
Well, Tuesday I have to go back to Kelly once more. I will be undergoing the prereqs as I did before but hopefully I can get qualifications round under my belt and start working ASAP.
But if not, well, that's not a big deal. There's always something better around the corner.

   Limping Yet Living
For a while I sought him out
Wondering what had become of him
Then I saw him in the backyard
Right leg broken but still alive
Going about his usual mode of survival
I’m pleased to see him, though he’s limping
I did him a favor so long ago in April
Now he can coexist with his Brethren
Telling them the tale of the being
Who saved him from entanglement
He never tried making a nest again
Even though I received no thanks
Seeing him alive
Hunting for bugs upon which to dine
Frolicking in the cool, green grass to proclaim
“I’m alive !”

   Here's the jist...
After training, I discovered that sadly, I didn't qualify. Earlier on, CTB Graders were given 3 days to learn the material and then grade papers. But we were given training quickly and given the materials needed. Half the people in my group were excluded and half were qualified. Most who had done grading before were permitted to work on the Colorado projects while the rest were allowed to do other projects in May...(possibly). So, it's not known whether I still have the probability of a job or not, but for the time being I am unemployed and looking for work again.
I think I do get paid for training, which is GREAT.

   Peepers
At one time I thought they were not returning
The simple chirping sound
I had grown so accustomed to
But all around me
I hear them sing
Elated to make their return
The tiny tree frogs
They sing all evening long,
Never tiring, happy to serenade us
Enjoying the song of nature
I listen to the peepers as I drive home
Their song reminds me
Even in gray times
To lift my voice up
And be grateful
Never tiring of the song.

   From A Lot Like Love
Telepopmusik - "Breathe"

Lyrics:
I brought you something close to me,
Left for something you see though your here.
You haunt my dreams
There's nothing to do but believe,
Just Believe.
Just Breathe.

Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe
Another day, just believe,
Another day. Just breathe.

I'm used to it by now.
Another day, just believe.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just breathe.
Lying in my bed,
Another day, staring at the ceiling.

Just breathe. Another day.
Another day, just believe.
Another day.
I?m used to it by now.
I?m used to it by now.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just breathe. Just believe.
Just believe. Just breathe.
Just believe.
Another day, just believe.
Another day.
Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe,
Another day (I do believe).
Another day(so hard to breathe)
Another day(not so hard to believe)
Another day. Another day.

   Unmistakable
Along my travels
I saw a horse and cow
Lying back to back
Like old friends
Then I spotted a black Doberman
Distinguishable from all the other colors along the road
Yellow mustard decorates the fields
Small shoots of corn are sprouting
The scent of rain still fresh in the air
All of these elements I can sense
I quietly thank God for my senses
Glad they are all functional
I praise Him for the rarities I’ve seen
And look forward to many more odd sights
In future travels.
