The Wandering Stranger

It's been awhile since I've been on here and wanted to update the latest and greatest in my life.

I'm truly the wandering stranger now. My job takes me to multiple retail locations each day. Sometimes I'm building a display, filling a display, checking on displays, putting new products in and removing old products, pretty much anything. Is this where I expected to be at this point in my life. NO. But I am employed and ever so grateful for that. Now it's time to get my finances repaired and get my life back. I'm trying hard to get it right.

One thing all of this has reminded me of is just how hard I've worked during my life. I did this type of work when I owned my own businesses and when I started out with Hallmark. It took me a long way every time, but I moved forward and got better positions as a result of the work. I'm hoping to do the same with this. The corporate headquarters for this company is in Tampa, Florida. Admittedly, as the weather gets nicer here, the urgency is diminishing, but I do hope to someday be back in the warmth and sunshine. Who knows where the Lord will take me next???

Tricia and I are keeping busy with little things around here. The Donahues are a blessing for us and have been very welcoming to us. We don't know what we'd do without them. We try to give them "family time" on the weekends and we go visit someone. We've stayed at my brothers home, house sitting and dog sitting, when they were out of town. My Mom had us over for two weekends so far. We've talked well into the night, trying to catch up on the past and get reacquainted. Tricia and Mom have laughing fits which crack us all up. Life is good.

I guess life is designed to keep us wondering. Security and stability may be a lifelong goal for me, but I'll make it. They talk about the circle of life. I used to believe it was about living and dieing. Maybe it's about everything. It may just be a way to improve on how we've done things in the past. Funny how we often times find ourselves saying "if I could do it all again". Maybe we get the chance and just haven't realised it because the situation is different enough to challenge us. Well, if you know me you know I love challenge. I guess this is just another opportunity for me to get it right.
