mikey's funnies 05.14: Farewell (for now)
Mikey's
REALLY Relevant Thot for the Day: PRELUDE: MESSAGE: This is the next-to-last Mikey's Funnies post - maybe. Here's why: Last week I was laid off at my job at Youth Specialties, due to some restructuring in the company. The changes seem to make sense, but that doesn't make it any easier. In
retrospect I had 12 awesome years at Youth Specialties. I'm proud of
what I accomplished. And I'm grateful for what YS did for me and my
family. (How many people can say all that about a job?) It's moments like this that those seemingly trite phrases all of a sudden don't seem very trite...like "I don't know the future, but I know Who holds the future." THE FUNNIES YS has graciously offered for me to take the Funnies wherever I go. So I will have the list of e-mail addresses. Of course, I'm not sure where I'll land, but if it makes sense, this list may resurrect. If it does, you'll have the opportunity to immediately unsubscribe, if you desire. And there will be one more "Funny" sent out later today. You know my heart is with the military, so it will be my favorite Memorial Day post. REALLY... This is not a joke. I know, I asked for it. (For those of you not around then, last year on April 1, I sent a post saying I had been fired. It was a joke then.) Not this time. Blessings
to you...we appreciate your thoughts and prayers...
PASS IT ON! Yeah, you can send this Funny to anybody you want. And, if you're REAL nice, you'll tell them you got it from www.MikeysFunnies.com! =============================== MIKEY'S FUNNIES, brought to you by Mike Atkinson @ Youth Specialties Mikey's
