A New Start




I forgot to tell you that I started a new job today. I'm working with a non-profit foundation that provides services to children in foster care. I'll be helping them to build a core of medical and mental health providers to do assessments to support their advocacy. It's a part time job, but I'll be busy, and I'm thankful to have it. There'll be no more bonbon eating or lounging around -- I'm thankful to have a head tightly screwed to my neck; otherwise, it might have flown off by now.

It seems like a fresh start, doesn't it today?

  10. Yay! That's great news! I totally know what you mean about needing the focus of a job -- my part-time job has made me feel much better and more grounded. The additional money doesn't suck, either.

  12. Congratulations! They are blessed to have you, even part time.
    I'm so far behind in reading and commenting (not to mention WRITING on my own blog) that I'm just going to have to skip ahead. But I'm grateful you are still sharing with us, even with the added work on your plate.
