Looking forward to my new journey.........

I came to my blog over two hours ago. I almost always start by spending time visiting and reading some of the great blogger so I can catch up on what everyone is doing. Andrea's daughter (my granddaughter) is getting braces. Judith is writing a book. Kim been on vacation and making crocheted food for her niece. And Stephanie, has a new baby! And there is plenty more to read but it will have to wait for another night.

I have some great news. I'm not unemployed anymore. Yippee!! I knew God had a plan. Besides, seven weeks is long enough to be unemployed.

I got the final conformation call today about my new job as an Activity Director in a Care Center. A job that is more in line with my experience. I start on Monday.

The company is young, only two years old. They own several other communities in our city that have been around for a while. There are about 100 residents, with a potential for 20 more. There are 6 activity staff not including myself.

I'm looking forward to beginning my new journey. How quickly I have forgotten how much I like working. The days can get long. Besides, I like having a job that enhances and aides in healing individuals loves. I appreciate being need by others. Being an Activity Director is often referred to by other staff as the "Fun Job". And most of the time, they are right! I say most of the time because there is a lot of paper work involved in a job like this, but believe it or not, I like that part too.

Quote for the day: Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing thing differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. When we find new eyes, the unsuspected blessings of work we have done for many years may take us completely by surprise.
