I'm Still Here

Well, it has been two months since I've done any blogging. I've thought about it many times, but just never could bring myself around to writing. Why? Mostly because it has been a bit of a rocky time in my life.

I was really ill with pnumonia in March. Missed about 3 weeks of work and just couldn't muster up the energy to do much of anything. I'm sure I now know what the life of an invalid must be like and, believe me, it isn't fun. The world keeps turning, but you don't care! Fortunately, the doctor was able to find the right medication after several tries. I am alright now and back to work. Thank you, Lord.

However, I am a bit frustrated with my job at this time. I can't seem to get any weekends off and I am really tired of missing family get togethers. Baseball games, recitals, birthday celebrations, church; it all happens without me! I still like what I do for a living, but the flexibility is gone. I can't quit because I'm so close to retirement. So I'll just ride it out and be thankful I have a job.

We haven't been doing well financially. The Bookseller is struggling at the store with lack of sales. I guess it's just the slow economy, but it is really affecting the business. We are working on reducing our debt, but it is a slow process when you live paycheck to paycheck.

Anyway, I am going to try to be more positive and remember that it is all part of God's plan.
