He Said Yes

He's more than 10 years my senior, and we both are now retired. But I shall long remember nearly 40 years ago, when from a job I was fired. When the world all around was saying 'No' to me, he said yes. They said, "Not enough of this or that". They said, "Too much education, overqualified". They said, "Not enough education, underqualified". They said, "Too young, too reserved"; They said, "Wrong demographics". There was always something that did not fit. But through it all, I refused to quit. I tell you, too little of this and too much of that became the story of my life. But he reached out, found a fit and said "Yes" to me. And that "Yes" has made a world of difference in my life. 021523PS
