Summer

It was 100 degrees when I left work today at 5:30pm.... wooooo.   I was glad that today's cleaning was all in the air conditioned areas.  While my bank account has suffered somewhat I am very thankful for my new A/C and battery in my truck.  aaaahhhhhh.

Going back to work after a week off is always awkward.  A new temporary employee started in our department today so in an effort to turn over a new leaf and stop being so anti-social and shy, I stopped in his cubicle and introduced myself.  It felt good to be friendly and confident and not feel like I was making a fool of myself. 

I'm working on a new Sunday School lesson concerning relationship with God. It is fun and I've been learning alot of new stuff.  It's really giving me a different outlook.  It is very enlightening to realize that God didn't create us to be born, die and go to heaven.  He created us to live on this earth and have abundant life NOW and an awesome relationship with him on a daily basis, not just on Sunday!!  woohoo.

The time goes by so quickly at my age.  I can't believe I'm the same person that thought the nine month school year would never end and the thought of twelve years of school was almost unbearable.  Now here it is 34 years after graduation. LOL. 

I would never have looked ahead and put  myself where I am now.   I'm sure I would have put myself in a much more exciting life (per my definition of excitement then), yet I can't image being anywhere else.  Had my life taken different turns, I wouldn't have had the same experiences and the same people in my life that are here right now.   OH! I would have missed out on so much.  I'm glad I'm right here, right now.  It's very satisfying. 

It is my family that helps with this happy life..  If not for them I would be forced use my imagination alot more to get the good out of life.  They just put it before me each day and God helps me see it in them and in Him.
