Now that's a title. I don't have a clue what I am doing. My niece Kim has such a nice blog; I need to get her to come over and train me. She directed me to this Google website, but she doesn't realize I need some "hands on" instructions. Ha.
I am looking forward to tomorrow. I will meet my daughter-in-law early in the morning at ABC (Atlanta Bread Company) and retrieve my 5 1/2 year old granddaughter. We have one stop to make and then we will head to Books-A-Million in Northwoods Mall. There we will meet my good friend and her grandson, look around the store and perhaps find a bargain or two. Then we will eat lunch at the Olive Garden - both children love salad and breadsticks - and from there will head to the movie by 2 PM to see Toy Story 3. Elizabeth says she has already seen it but is willing to see it again.
Grandma bought her an outfit to wear tomorrow; well, it was on sale at Wal-Mart and I couldn't resist.
Being retired gives me more time for things I enjoy, but less money with which to do them. I have been trying to find a part-time administrative or bookkeeping job, but I believe I am over-qualified when companies see my resume and don't even respond to my contact. It's either that or I'm getting so old no one wants me. I hope it's because I am over-qualified.
I think it's time to start another book. I just read one that is really good. It's called The Heart Mender, by Andy Andrews. It's about finding some German uniform buttons, ribbons, and photos buried along the Gulf coast and how the author sought out answers about how those items got there. When he got his answers he wrote them into a wonderful story. My friend Marilyn and I think the story is true; he just changed names for privacy sake.
Living One Day at a Time
Hello there,
I can't really imagine anyone looking at my blog to see what I wrote; however, I hope you will. What I miss the most about being retired is being with and around people. I am definitely a people person.
I greet even strangers with a smile - a genuine smile. I am a happy person. I am likely to strike up a conversation with anyone. I really love children and they seem to like me.
I am a Christian. Hopefully, the beauty of Jesus is seen in me. I strive to treat others the way I want to be treated. Knowing that God has "His eye on the sparrow" encourages me each day. If He cares about the birds, then I know He cares for me.
This blogging experience is so new to me; I hope that I do it justice.
