Good day everyone I hope this blog post finds you well and in good spirits. As promised, I said I would let you know about my longtime friend HS Jeri Harris. She posted on the page for a while, off and on when I was away, on vacation, or just needed a break for a day or two. A couple of months ago I asked you on the page to pray for her. They had found a mass on her lung. It was cancer, and it took almost 2.4 months to get there and to where she is today. Chemo 3 hours once a day, five days a week for radiation for the next 6 weeks. Her spirits have been amazing, she has been so positive thus far. Thank you, for your continued prayers for her and her sister and husband as they all three embark on this huge health challenge with her. Also, my brother has settled into rehab and is doing well. Thank you, Father! I know the Lord will never put more on me than I can handle, but, I will say that at times, so many times throughout my life my cup was low and even empty, and I still poured from that empty cup only to make my own self sick I’m learning that doesn’t work, ever. And it only took me 67 years to figure that out. I am slow I guess.
I told you that I am seeking employment after all these years, and I have to get a resume together. Thank goodness my daughter-in-law can and will help me there. I would not know where to start today on building a resume. I have found a job I think I would like at my dermatologist’s office of all things. I’m not sure I am the right age for them but, 4 days per week, 8 hours a day! I’ll be 68 on December 28th, and I’ve not worked outside the home in years, so this will be a challenge for me. But, this is a must at this time in my life, sadly today everything has gone up, from food to gas, to power bills, wow, EVERYTHING has gone up up up and our pay doesn’t. I know God provides all of our needs, but He also expects us to do our part by working for what we need if we still can. For the past several years my SS and this blog made me enough to live on but just enough to maintain. I did share that since my Oh So Shabby By Debbie Reynolds FB page, and that blog was hacked, and I had to start all over it just died here. But, there were over 300,000 followers on that page, and now FB has a locked down on posts and no longer allows enough people to see our post to allow it to grow like that again. It is okay, it must be time for me to get out and about and find that new job, a new adventure for myself. I’m not the first 68 YO who needed to go back to work now, and I bet I will not be the last.
On a much lighter note, the weather has been amazing this week here in Alabama, in the low 70s, with a wonderful breeze. But, much-needed rain is on its way, and cooler temperatures will follow. I wish you all a blessed Wednesday. God bless, be well, and I will see you all soon. Good Lord willing.
