“I've learned from the past that it's important to recharge and get time in-between jobs, and if I can't get time in-between jobs then when I know I've got some time coming up at the end of a job, really try and take advantage of that.

“There is an art to grieving. To grieve well the loss of anyone or anything--a parent, a love, a child, an era, a home, a job--is a creative act. It takes attention and patience and courage. But many of us do not know how to grieve. We were never taught, and we don't see examples of full-bodied grieving around us. Our culture favors the fast-food model of mourning--get over it quick and get back to work; affix the bandage of "closure" and move on.” KnowsWellsChildrenArtHomeJobsMovingCultureParentLossAttentionKnow HowCreativeExampleTaughtModelsFavorsErasGrievingMourningOver ItGet BackGet OverFast FoodClosureBack To WorkBandages Author:Elizabeth Lesser

So why would you want to be up there if the action is down here in the states?” IfsWantTryingStatesGovernmentActionJobsRootsGet BackGovernorsPivotalCentralization Author:Rick Perry
