Fierce with Age Cohort: Let’s Talk about August Digest

Hi All,

Back from sabbatical…and feeling renewed!

As you might expect, I often have a “personal favorite” embedded in every issue of the Digest.  In case you missed it, here it is!

Now, what’s on your mind?  What would you like to talk about?

“I RESIGN”

Dear God,

This letter is to inform you that, effective immediately, I resign my position as Saint.
I find I am lacking the necessary qualities and skills for the job.

I had deep concerns about the ability to perform the required duties, but was afraid to say no to a glamorous, powerful position.  In addition, the long hours are getting to me.

I also withdraw my request to train for your role as General  Manager of the Universe.  My skill set does not match the job duties…

At this time, I humbly apply for the position of Human…Should you need references, I can provide an extensive list of persons who can attest to my ability to be human…

Sincerely,
Aileen, Alaska
