So, here’ a update on what’s happened since my last blog in December.
Christmas was wonderful and I had a great time with my family. I got my sisters a little something from almost every country and gave it to them while a little slide show of my pictures played. We then went a spent the rest of the morning at the beach..even though it was only 35 degrees! I enjoyed being able to see my extended family for Chrismas this year as well in Michigan.
the Walcott girls and soaking up the rays!!
After that, I hung out with my sisters a lot, spent a weekend at my grandparents and have spent the most of the time looking for a full time job. I’ve had the hardest time finding anything open in this area. I’ve interviewed for big, salary positions to little, hourly positions, and have come up with nothing. So, I’m wondering if I’m where I should be at and currently praying and working on listening to see where God wants me.
I do have to admit though that I love having the time off…and not in the lazy, I don’t want to work sense, but enjoying life for life. I think sometimes we just complicate it ourselves and this is great time to remind me to take time out for things I like to do. I’ve enjoyed going out on long walks each day and not having to be home at a certain time. Or reading a good book, watching a movie (I think I’ve caught up on all of them, thanks to the library), cleaning out more boxes of my stuff in the garage or catching up on my “to do” list…and am working on keeping in better contact with people. (this is HUGE for me) There are sometimes where I really wish I had a job, (okay a lot of the time) for the sake of having some “normalacy” here at home and someone to talk to, (my mother says I need a friend, which means…I’m very talkative at home) but I’m also enjoying this season of life.
I also want to add here that I just got a part time job and start Tuesday. The hard part is it’s a on call position, so I’m never sure of how much time I’ll get. However, I’m a non-medical home companion to the elderly. This basically means I get paid to be a friend! I get to take them on errands, help them with any housework, take them to sporting events, scrapbook, play games with them or just talk to them. I’m really excited about it!
As always, I would love to see anyone if you happend to pass through the area. I promise, I’ll shorten my slide show, so you don’t have to sit for long! And I’ll be in the Carlisle, PA area this weekend, from Sat afternoon till Mon morning. I’m sorry this is such short notice, but hopefully I can catch up with some of you out that way during that time!! Once things get settled, I’ll make another trip, so if you miss me this time, I promise I’ll see you next time!
Love and miss ya!
