Sun I drove to Ft Wayne and saw my nephew Mark play soccor in a tournament with Univ of denver vs Indiana University. They tied 0-0 which was a victory for Denver since I-U is ranked 8 in country. My ex sister in law Mary Ellen was there and my borther Steve and his kids. It was nice seeing my cousin and aunt and uncle as well.
I am staying at my sister Peg and daves house and it is such a wonderful time. Alos nice to have running water ice and all the luxeries I mniss in Louisiana. It has been so niec to catch up with family and friends after 5 months on the road. It makes me feel so blessed to have wonderful family and friends that brings so much happiness to life. It helps me appreciate all the gifts in my life and lifts my spirit.
The week is filled with great activities to play golf today with my brother Mike and my buddy Mark on Friday. It will be great to swing a club again but have few expectations on playing well or not. Just to be out in nature and enjoy and afternoon will be fine with me.Thursdai I am visiting the lake and Tom and Jo-Ellen and hope to get a little skiing in and enjoying the lake.
This weekend will be a awesome reunion of family in Terre Haute indiana at my nieces wedding Lindsey. sue and Glen and Courtney will be in from Az and I will get to see my nephew and his family.
Next week I will be heading back to Grand Isle and see if there is more work there and to pick up my camper. There is a job opportuntiy at Scottsdale Comm College that I am interviewing with on 9-17 for a position as director of the Native and Urban Wildlife program. I the job comes thorugh it would be a great opportuntiy to work in conservation and education with benefits and summewrs off. Pretty much what I dreamed of 5 years ago when I changed career paths. There are a lot of things up in the air now but I have so many options that whatever is meant to happen will be okay for me.
It is so nice to be back home and relax and enjoy my family and friends. Getting some excersize and good meals and just not being in the same routine each day is refreshing my spirit and body.
It is interesting how the spirit is always at work. Peg and I visited the grave site on Monday and that evening I received a call for the interview. I had been waiting for weeks and thought nothing was going to happen and then the call. Mom is always there caring for me and I know it was her spirit is at work. She always reminded me to have patience and faith and things will work out. As I get older I find myself always knowing that listening to my heart brings that peace. Loosing my fear and anxiety about change brings so many opportunities. I started the journey with the hope of growing both inward and outward in my life. Not knowing the destination but being part of the Journey is what matters and it continues to be an awesome venture growing in ways I never imagined a few months ago.
