Catching up

Hey y'all!

I'm so behind on blogging!!! I'll blame summer. Yes, that's it.

I'm sitting here in Lake Rathbun resort, typing happily on my NEW laptop from my awesome family, using free wireless, checking out the beautiful sunny day that awaits me, wondering....can it get any better than this?!

Today is my 27th birthday. I have so many things to be thankful for. And while I'm sure the quiet time my kids are giving me is a limited time offer this morning, I know I don't have the time or the page lengths to go into all that I am thankful for. But I do want to say, that lately, I'm sooo happy!

I keep going back in my mind to a blog post I wrote a few months ago where I was so sad...I was told I'd get this job in surgery and my current job was so horrible. I didn't think I could handle one more day. At the time, I wrote honestly. I was angry at God. I felt drug around on a string. I was frustrated that there weren't better horizons for me. If I just persevered...it all would work out in my favor right?? Right? Well, sort of...but not in my time of course.

I feel like I need to redeem myself post previous posting. That is, by saying, that I realize that I could use some help in the trusting department. I've always known this, really.

I've been working on a book. I love writing, and I've received encouragement after encouragement to pursue my dream. So I am. While writing a book sounds neat, it's difficult to tell people per se, in that, if you say that you are writing a book, it implies you think you have something worthwhile to say.....hmmmm....DO I? Eh, whatever. So what if I don't? I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Thanks to God, my family and friends, these 27 years have been fabulous! Although, 27 is creepily close to 30.....that's almost as old as my brother (and THAT'S old). Ha! Happy almost birthday Dan! :)
