This was my parting email at work. A week later, I'm finally singing the song (but I can't figure out how to put it on the blog; you'll have to search Facebook) ...
As I close the page on September,
I find myself trying to remember...
So many highlights of 34 years ...
As the end of an era draws oh-so near .....
(Sweet music of life: To hear it! To share it!)
I posted that on Facebook as I was getting ready to leave the office on Sept. 30. I was down to the final two weeks. And the music of life was growing louder and louder, although the melody was far from clear.
Now, it is that final day. I was hoping I would go out with a song. But I’m still just not that brave. If anyone is interested in that part of my life, check out Facebook or http://thats-the-spirit-patricia.blogspot.com/?m=1
My mom commented that there are probably a lot of memories over 34 years. To which I responded: Yes, Mom. At least there should be. But my memory itself is faulty, which makes it tricky. Then when you add in my sentimentality, it gets even trickier!!
For a longtime journalist, including years as a reporter, religion editor and copy editor, I’m at quite a loss for words right now. I just want to express that I wouldn’t trade the experiences and opportunities I’ve had working at The Oklahoman. God has blessed me through the people here, and I will be forever grateful. Best of luck to all who remain.
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
And You're slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
Bless You Lord
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
Forevermore
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
Yes I'll worship Your Holy name
I'll worship Your Holy name
Oh my soul
I'll worship Your Holy name
Jesus I will worship Your Holy name
Worship Your Holy name
