Positive thoughts are power

Dear family and friends,
Nelson does not want to leak the possible news that he might have the head farrier position at Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) because he is afraid of jinxing it. It's a wonderful opportunity that would change our life now, and especially change our future in terms of retirement and comfortable living. Nelson deserves this recognition and validation of his life's work and talent. We both deserve some breathing room (financially and in terms of physical space which translates to VILLA!). And, as I pointed out to him yesterday, I have a vested interest in his obtaining this position because what is mine is mine, and what is his is mine. :) He is worried about what to do about so many things if he gets the job, doing a good job at managing the department, and teaching the farriers to take pride in doing a professional job, at the track and off the track. He worries too much. :) I have every confidence in him. I don't care if he makes double my salary, gets a villa and a Land Cruiser. :) Well, he gets a vehicle and since everybody at the track (including the former head farrier) drives Land Cruisers, I am assuming. :) As I said, what is his is mine, too. :) I can also appreciate the prospect of a villa, a little yard of our own, bigger accomodations to host a family holiday or visitors for a time! SO! My request is that everyone out there send positive thoughts and vibes our way for successful acquisition of this job....the final decision/offer will be made the end of the month and there is no one else in the running at this point. They have even already sent him to Human Resources to start getting his paperwork together. Something tells me the decision is already made, but I want to see it in writing! Thanks everyone for your support and we'll keep you posted here!!
