Time Flies

Wow ladies, TIME FLIES. My last blog was back in August. My oh my, so much has happened in the between time.

September 1 we started our first group challenge in The Training Room and finished up the 12 weeks around November 20. Truthfully we sort of fizzled out half way through the challenge but progress was made and reported. The challenge was about Balance and I know I've certainly made progress, mostly in making changes in my daily routine and in my environment.

My sister and her husband transitioned home from their 2 year stay in Hawaii. We celebrated with a nearly 2 week stay at a beautiful beach house in Sandbridge Beach, VA. Family and friends gathered to enjoy each other, the focus of the week being the retirement ceremony aboard the USS Leyte Gulf, the warship where my BIL began and ended his sea duty. What was truly meaningful is that both of my sons and my nephew were in full Navy dress blues and participated in the ceremony. My heart was so full I was leaking. :)

THEN we got home and began the renovation on my kitchen, tv room and bathroom, something I had nearly given up hope would ever happen. It's fitting that all of this is happening around the Thanksgiving holiday, because I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the ministry and labor of love that is making it all possible.

Also I began my job search once again, and found an amazing working atmosphere with an open position. I think I love this opportunity so much that I'd sweep their floors just to be a part of their team, but we shall see how it works out. With my quirky ways, love of people, love of sarcasm and great teamwork, I think I'd be an amazing fit, Hopefully they will read my resume and agree.

More blessings to come.

oh yeah, I'm still researching the possibility of quilt fabric design. Later friends!
