Life not real simple right now...

Hi.
It has been a whirlwind of a summer. Being an "educator/media specialist" we are to have these grand 3 months off. Well, that was in another lifetime. I worked this whole summer entering books. But I LOVE my job! In fact if I was not married and had no "outside" life, I would have a cot in my library!

Today was an exciting day....I got my BUSINESS CARDS!! If you are old enough to remember the movie The Jerk with Steve Martin...remember the day he sees his name in the phonebook...well that was me today!!! I was sooo excited!

The "Life is not real simple" is because I feel overwhelmed by my job, but in a good way. In a blessing kind of way! I actually had a "fellow" Media Specialist spend 4 hours with me on Wednesday. My dear friend, Lois' twin sister...Kathy! Wow, what a blessing that was. She told me "you will never be caught up, it is the world of the librarian". I figured that is "job security". NICE!

Still missing Keith...but loving on the family! have a great day...it is Molly's 19the birthday...wow next year both girls will be in their 20's (well, megs you have been there...you turn 27 next wed. !!!)

blessings blog readers!!

Simple Pleasures

Hi.
I saw on a blog someone wrote their "simple pleasures". Those are the things that bring you pleasure but are simple. So what better thing from the "Real Simple" blog to write my "simple pleasures."

My list of Simple Pleasures....(short list)

1. THUNDERSTORMS...i love them so much that i have a thunderstorm on my iPod i listen to when i fall asleep.
2. SOUNDS OF NATURE...there is a wide range of "nature" sounds on my iPod that I listen too...Amazon Rainforest, Rocky Mountain, Whales, Waves to name a few.
3. MY GIRLS...yes, i know they are grown up woman...but I will always refer to them as "my girls".
4. THE SMELL OF GRASS, fresh mowed.
5. SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD WITH RUTHIE, our mini dachsund and watching her nose go wild. smelling. then i get annoyed when she barks at EVERYTHING that walks by!
6. SMELL OF FALL LEAVES. decaying leaves, doesn't sound pleasurable...but the smell.
7. SITTING AT THE BEACH and watching the waves and listening to them.
8. WALKS...walking and praising God's creation. observing all that HE has done.
9. BIG FLUFFY,DOWN COMFORTERS (don't have one) but when i sleep under them..wow.
10. WATCHING THE WIND BLOW PALM TREES, the sound.
11. WATERFALLS, the sound of any water...rain,etc.
12. MY HUSBAND'S unconditional love for me and all my flaws.
13. PRAISE AND WORSHIP MUSIC...to be in the sanctuary all by myself and listening to great worship music and praising my Jesus....


I guess that is it for this moment. I could probably go on and on...but now it is your turn. Simple pleasures....mine are.....
