Learning lessons over again

" I am going to sit right down and write myself a letter".   A lot has gone through Kadizzles mind.  One has to look inward once in awhile.  This brings us to today's lesson.  You made your nest now lie in it.  Those were the words of an ex boss in Ohio.  Long ago and far away Kadizzle was just married and needed a job.  Kadizzle called up his old employer the second largest coal company in the U.S. and asked if they had any jobs.  Kadizzle was shocked, they said can you come to work in two weeks.  It was a good job and Kadizzle could not refuse.  At first they said the job would be in Alberta or Denver.  Kadizzle liked both spots.  Well that ain't the way it turned out.  Kadizzle was sent to North Dakota. When the new bride arrived in North Dakota she said " You get us out of here as fast as you can".  Kadizzle went to his old boss in Ohio and begged for his old job in Ohio back.  Old Boss said " You made your nest, now lie in it".  Kadizzle returned to North Dakota and his new nest.  44 years later Kadizzle is still in North Dakota.  The new nest did not work out that badly.  There is a lesson in this.  At some point you have to lie in the nest you make.  Apparently you have to make your nest livable.  The big lesson is you built your nest, no one else did.
