Having a BDE – a slow coffee – now rush – no fuss
This morning as I read of Ontario’s New Premiere
elect Kathleen Wynne and her meeting with the head of the Ontario Teacher’s
Union – I smiled. Not because the
meeting went well and the fact that there will be more meetings together coming
up… but because another person is smiling too.
That person is actually loving what is happening.
That person is our former Premiere Dalton
McGuinty. This morning I thought about
Dalton a lot.
Wherever he is he is thinking about the job
of the last 9 years… and today he is free. He doesn’t have to rush off to
Downtown Toronto. He has no handler waiting carefully outside his house or
chirping away on the telephone as to their next meeting. Today he is really free. The contingent of OPP Officers are now down
to almost none protecting him.
I imagine he has slipped out of bed earlier and
he has taken the dog for a slow walk. He
has made coffee for his wife and maybe together they are planning a get-a-way
for a few weeks. They are talking about different things that their kids are
doing and enjoying their new time together away from the blistering front of
political stuff.
I imagine there is a wee bit of wondering
what it would be like to go back again… but in a whisp the small idea has been
puffed away.
He has to answer some inquiries from Legal
firms wondering if he will stop to entertain their offer to come alongside as
one of their own. Or there may be fancy “Bay
Street” (Toronto’s big dollar people) firms flirting with him as a potential employee
or contract person.
But today, if he isn’t already there, he will
be planning to go see his family in the Ottawa area. His mom loves it when he
comes to visit. The other siblings in his
family would love to give him a few jibes for messing with their own family
plans with his former political actions and plans as the former Premiere. Good family joking takes place in a family
that is so close.
I smiled this morning when I thought of
another man that has left behind what was so big.
As I thought of Dalton I thought of four
years ago and my own departure that was so imminent. I was the minister of a good church… but one
that had financial problems. And my departure
was looming as well. Each month we struggled to keep the place on an even keel.
Opposition was there for sure. All people in the church didn’t like what was
taking place… but we continued the best we could with what we had.
Poof! Enough of that kind of thinking!!
Dalton today, wherever he is, has released ‘my
own old thoughts’ and I cannot possibly let that baloney into my life again. The old opposition and obstacle for me are almost
all dead – or too feeble to fight anymore… poof they are gone! I smiled.
But today is a new day. I am so excited about
today’s possibility and new direction. I
am excited about the people I will meet today at the Mall. There will be lots of them. Today I will give
away ideas that will help them. Today I
will meet my next step in Misty Hollow Carving as people stop to talk.
I wonder what Dalton will feel like this morning
as he gets ready for his first trip to McDonald’s or Tim Horton’s.
Dalton will not likely read this… but I wish
him a “best day ever” – a BDE... because every day away from the fray and wild
stuff is a BDE.
Have a good one today Dalton!
And Premiere elect Kathleen… good on you for
taking up this absolutely huge task to lead.
May you have a BDE as well!
