Hi, everyone.
Two weeks; that's all it took. It's Monday morning. I'm sitting on my couch with a blanket and a pillow, hot tea, water, tissues and nursing a cold. I wonder where I got it?
Oh yes! I remember! I am working in a pediatric clinic. I can tell right now I'm going to have to do something to boost my immune system.
TIME FLIES......
And now it is Friday evening the 13th. I've officially been at the pediatric office four weeks. I've not blogged, read a book, sewn, or worked on my rag rug. I've barely knit, barely listened to my audiobook, or even cooked.
What I have done is worked, studied, listened to my Bible, gone to church on Sundays, fallen asleep during the evening, and made some new friends. I've done minimal housework, laundry, dishes, and my husband has helped with cooking. Yes, we've eaten out a few times, too.
AND......
Y'all have been so encouraging. I appreciate the supportive notes, letters, and prayers. That means so much to me. So many of you have been with me through homeschooling, my part-time jobs after the kids were grown, breast cancer, and all my frugal living writing.
In fact, through the years, writing to y'all has kept me focused on the LORD and the story that he is writing in my life.
Thank you all so much!
Now, it's another era. I'm in the getting ready for retirement era. Strange to say since I've not worked full-time in 35 years. ~smile~ But— I want to help my husband pay off our debts and to save for retirement so that when we do retire, and I'm sure we will like it or not, we'll be in a bit better shape financially.
I have one definite plan for retirement. I'm going to adopt a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel girl. The last two dogs we've had weren't very affectionate. I'm going to have one more dog in my life. I want to be sure she's a little love bucket. ~smile~ Everything I've learned of this breed leads me to believe that, if I'm willing to pay the price, I can buy love. ~grin~
So, I am going to begin a savings account just for my little one. I'll put money in it each paycheck. I've told my husband that it's a priority for me. He is supportive.
It's nice to have that joy to look forward to. I will wait until I am home again first. I don't want her to be a latch-key puppy. Gasp!
Have any of you ever owned a King Charles Spaniel? I'd love to read of your experiences either in the comments or by email in the sidebar.
OKAY........
What to expect here......
Honestly, I don't know yet. But, I'm not going to quit writing. I ask you to give me grace as I get my feet under me.
I may only write once a week for awhile. As soon as I get to a point that I'm not consumed by learning this job (I've actually dreamt about it.), I'll refine my focus and let y'all know the direction I'm heading with this blog.
In the meantime, I invite you to enjoy some of my old posts.
Sending virtual hugs to you all!

Thanks for writing me back!
This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
