It's amazing how much the word "thanks" means when you work hard for your boss...especially when your boss is someone you admire greatly and try to please whenever possible. To be appreciated makes me want to work harder and think about each detail. Funny...the dynamics among co-workers. Out of all the stuff I did right, someone focused on the one thing I did wrong yesterday. It hurt and the words were repeated to me by someone who likes to cause rifts and trouble. Ruined my whole evening and that's sad because it should have been a meaningful evening for me with our presentation. Well, all is well now, as I did my duty and apologized for the mistake but I sure wish I could have last night back again. I need to always tell myself, "consider the source". Lord, help me to love my enemies... especially hard when I think they're my friends.

My Refuge and Strength
Just a symbol of my life. This is where I work and worship. I've been married here and my daughter has been married here. Of course, God is with me constantly whether I'm here or not. This is just precious to me.
First Blog
I've heard a lot about "blogging" and I love to keep a journal so I believe I'll enjoy this. I named this blog "50 in P-Town" because I've reached that magic age and it's been anything but!
50 is the new 30??? Please. All within the last year I've had both my kids graduate from college, one get married, one move on to graduate school...yes, we're still paying...ha. I've had two accidents of falling and hitting my head, health problems, a D&C, more health problems, a break-in at the house, an alarm system put in, a new car because the old one died, new challenges on the job, new challenges in the marriage and an empty nest. Wow. I think if I were to take one of those "stress" tests that psychologists give I'd be off the chart. It's been wild but I've grown so close to the Lord in all of it. I've felt His presence constantly and His sense of humor. I know He is in control and whatever hits me has to come through His hands first. So let's continue the adventure. I will "embrace the trials"....
