Greetings,
The days are dry, cool and crisp. Here we come into that fast part of the year where I blink my eyes and the year will be over. I am trudging along: thankful and hopeful. I have found a great "job club" called Hired Texas. It started for those over fifty looking for new or different careers. They have all kinds of resources of which I really enjoy the 8:30 Tuesday morning Practice makes perfect forum where we share and listen about potential interview questions.
I want to share that Naomi has a marker for Brenda's Headstone.
OK I am off to get busy this afternoon. xxxxoooo
Greetings, Sure enjoyed time spent with my mom and twin. :) Now Mike and Naomi are off to Tennessee. Will await details and stories. Naomi is looking forward to seeing Cousin Betty and her old hometown.
Ready to step myself up and get onboard with finding job. I hope to find a day job and keep Walgreens as my part time... Will see. Already one hitch.... no position now... with Datappointment.. My church has offered me a position to clean up... I am happy about that. I want to...earn and learn.... I notice... I have been in this boat many times and still I am thankful. I hear others complain... blame...etc.. and I want to be out of that...
hum mmmm it is time to reflect... It is so telling to see people's choices.... Do others follow through? Does everyone wish to really influence others? I don't know. I know I have a lot to be thankful for. Peace is wonderful and age does give more I think. I am trying to up my administrative skills. Careers want workers with skills with outlook... as this is really about office communication.... I got in person communication..but need to work on computer skills. I am planning to go to the workforce office and build up some such skills. I am going to end with a blessing. right most often two way to see and the worst is not good. xxxxooooo
I find myself resting my feet a lot after Walgreens....and after the Kenmar ladies get to day hab. So another month has pasted.... So much has been up in the air... I can see strength working. Naomi is working hard to meet her goals... To be independent....to walk where she can... To recognize those who have helped. I am glad to hear her express that she has a better understanding of what the Parkinson's is doing... I was off Sunday and I feel good about this day. I did go to church. I did rest. Naomi took us to Denny's....we had a good time... Then we were able to go to her house and pick up and check mail..... And to finish with a positive note one of the church members I see but not recently... she has been upset about a missing book she thought she had loaned to one of us her sunday school group... turns out the pastor had her book... and I could really see her joy in this find... and yes I believe finds do come from God....:)
This has been a life changing month. Mikes sister our Brenda did not survive a stroke. It has been a very sad hurt for all the family. We all pray that we do right and in a loving manner. Today Grandma did make a list of things she needs from her house. We want her to know that we will work together to preserve all we can.
Today being Easter I am glad I was able with help to make Brenda's favorite "Dirty Rice" with Banana Pudding too with Naomi's help. We are trying to keep a routine and Mike is very good to be in charge of her medicines..business...etc... It is not easy but Marshall and Miranda are realizing too that we need to be a team.
I am glad to say I think Miranda is feeling better. Working on some goals. I have thought for some time a temp agency might be good. Well if her friends can set her on that path yeah.
So we love Brenda... a great aunt, caretaker, friend and sister.
Life is so precious and we need to recognize this... We have spent so many hours with pictures, stories and recollections... peace
Good Morning Here it is Febuary... Miranda's and Naomi's BD Month... And I am updating on the same day as Penny also put in entry? :) Initially, I though of a gripe that of those headlines about "secret trouble foods" where they allude to mystery dooms... there I could not resist.... obviously why is there no info because it is a sales tactic... and I am off work this weekend....where is my girl uncertain...how I pray she would think through her actions.. I will try and stay upbeat....
Have I not entered any update? hummmm Today the 26th...... James Michael's bd I am off Walgreens for a couple of days.... So far I feel hopeful for this year. A quiet Christmas we did our best to support each other. Marshall has made many strives to stay positive and work for change... I am proud of him. I love all my family. Praying for Miranda now...Guess I will keep it short and simple and go to Church :) ps
