New Post for Wifey

[The Wifey]

This is cool.... Its almost like having a private journal. People read, but they don't post. I think I like it.

I like your letter and it seems to have gotten positive responses from you H. I'm half tempted to use it for my W. That was really excellent.

Sounds like you are fishing for comments now.

You are doing fine. Nobodys reading along just you and the whole WWW. Shhh.

Cheers

The only fishing I'm doing is for the real fish, Coach. No, actually I said that because someone told me (you, I think) that if you read and don't post its because I'm doing ok. And that, I like very much.

Hey Kevin. You will have to use your judgment if you want to use it, but feel free to borrow.

If you don't think now is the time after reflecting, you can always copy it into a word document. I have a running word document of quotes I haven't wanted to lose track of.

My cellar is nearly cleaned out! I spent most of the day hauling things out and sorting papers. I had a huge fire and burned most of the unwanted papers. This is the second to last area I need to organize. (The garage will be last.)

I have a yard sale this Friday and Saturday and that is where all my excess stuff is going. Whatever I make is going to be set aside for August. I will use every penny to visit my S in NC and SMW in Virgina.

In the process I found the cards and letters my H and I exchanged while he was in Basic Training and Tech School. I wasn't sure if I should read them, but am actually glad I gave in to the temptation.

I wound up staying up until after 1 in the morning reading them all. I did cry some, but not wracking sobs by any means. Just a few tears for memories. I also smiled and laughed. When I was done I felt even more sure that our R will be restored and we will have a new M.

I am feeling so much stronger every day. Just looking around at my house and how much I've accomplished, my new activities, my faith - I feel grounded and centered.

Strangely enough, I recognize all the good that has come out of this traumatic situation. I've worked through childhood haunts and fears that I carried into the rest of my life. I am sure of myself, of my worth, and standing on my own two feet.

I've met the most wonderful people and expand my definition of family every day. I'm happy, content, and have finally gotten to the point where I can talk rationally to my own self about my feelings. Fears have a basis, and I take the time to figure out what the basis is for each.

The future is extremely bright, no matter what. I am a child of God and certain in His Goodness. I am blessed in so many ways.

Today I will finish the basement. It is supposed to be warm (finally) and it will be so nice to look around when it is complete.

Depending on when I finish, I think I might go lay by the pool or at the beach. A little relaxation, a little sun, and some time to myself. I might even paint my toenails. That will be my reward for finishing this huge project.

I wish I could take you all along.

I was just notified that I passed the civil service exam I took in June for School Business Manager and I have already received a canvas letter. The county personnel department sends these out to candidates that have qualified to find out their interest in open positions. These are only sent when the school district formally requests the list of qualified candidates.

Of course I am going to respond that I am interested. But I am not going to rely on the speed of the US Mail. Instead, I am going to return my form in person this afternoon.

It is no guarantee, because I am just 1 of the 5 people that are qualified for the position, but with any luck it could turn into a wonderful opportunity. I am cautiously optimistic, and trying not to get too excited yet.

I just couldn't wait to tell y'all.

That is great news. I am happy to hear that for you. And I believe your M will be restored as well. Keep up the PMA.
