Friends - Social


One of the hardest things I have dealt with is leaving my friendships I had at work.  Yes, I know they are still my friends but it's different.  For me, everything's different.  I thought I had misplaced everyone's information, but I hadn't.  I believe in making things happen.  Not just waiting to see if it will happen.  Sometimes there's issues like timing and what's happening in people's lives which I am respectful of.  Today I went over to the college to a farewell potluck for Teresa.  GRC is going to miss her but I wish her all the best.  I was able to spend time with some of my favorite people and connect.  When I walked out to the car, I felt the happiness I had seeing them but also the void.  I realized again for the millionth time how much of a "people" person I am.  I felt energized.  In the past two months since I was gone, I haven't had as much interaction, although I've attended Roar and Young at Heart.  It sure presents an interesting challenge.

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.

Christmas Time

The fall season of orange, gold, and brown is suddenly over.  Pumpkins are put away.  But we continue to give thanks. It's been a lovely autumn.  October was brilliant with color in the trees.  November has been subdued but cozy.  Beautiful sunny days were gorgeous. Kari has been sick this week and didn't go to work Tuesday and Wednesday.  She's been left alone to sleep.   We are looking forward to decorating for Christmas.  We already had a few Christmas things out mixed in with the Thanksgiving decorations at our house.

Catching Up

Sunday was a really busy day.  I felt it was time to return to church in person and all 4 of us were there.  I introduced my family to my friends. Next was Costco to get Regan's cake for her grad party. At 2 pm we were at Tim and Angie's at the party.  It was great seeing everyone again.   Monday I got tires and an oil change for my car.  We also checked on the rebate we got in September.  I have to call the Refund Center tomorrow. Today I got the $189 rebate and off to Lowe's we went.  We bought things for the house and garden.  I plan to plant seeds tomorrow.
