Fall Pathway

Isn't this beautiful? My friends Joey and Kayc took this photo, believe it or not, on their cell phone. You know my love for pathway pictures, so when I saw this I asked if Joey would send it to me.

I have so enjoyed the golden evenings, the brilliant sunrises and sunsets, the crisp days, and the changing of the leaves. So, I wanted to share this picture with you, in hopes you are enjoying your autumn days as well.

God is glorious!

Oh, There You are Peter!

And here I am! I know, it has been awhile. My life has been in a whirlwind as of late. For the first time in my whole life, I am working full time. I am 50 years old, and working for the first time outside the home. It is necessity, it is what is on my plate, it is what I will do, but, oh, how it has been, still is, and adjustment!

I have never desired to be a career woman, really don't see my self as that even now. I love being home, I love being a homemaker. I miss sitting on the couch, having tea and reading a book. I miss not having a schedule, but what I determine. It is no longer. Please understand that I am not complaining, I don't want too. I am so very grateful in this economy to have a job. I just don't like the fact I have to work at all.

My job, is actually 2 part-time jobs, doing very similar things. Monday, Thursday, and Friday I work as a marketing assistant for a large retirement community. I sit in front of a computer most all day long, in putting data. The Lord has such a funny sense of humor! I am one of the least computer  competent people there is, yet here I am. The man I work for is very nice, the atmosphere is pleasant, and once I get the hang of things I know I will feel much better about it all in general.

My other job is working Tuesdays and Wednesdays as the church secretary where I attend. There is some computer work, about half the job and well as other normal secretary type things. All in all I like it, and once I get the hang of things here, it will be even better.

So, how often will you find me here? Can't say, but I will pop in when my brain has something important to share, though most evenings when I get home, I have no brain left, so we shall see.
