New Month

March! Today is March 3 and the sun is shining right now in Perrysburg. I did a quick reread of some of the older posts from November when I started this blog and I think it is amazing how quickly the time has passed and all that has transpired in these few short months. There have been many good times. I am going to enjoy having this blog as an aid in remembering that there is much to be thankful for everyday even when things seems the darkest. I even like rereading the quotes I had picked out. That is an incentive to continue adding that element to the blog. I did not spend the time to reread the comments this time around, but to my regular commenters, I love you! Your regular interaction into my life via a few words on the blog does make a difference and it makes it seem like you are all right here in my house with me. You always seem to be there when I need you most. And to my readers who don't post I am glad I can keep you updated on what is happening in our lives that is interesting to you. I enjoyed the pictures too so I will continue to keep the camera handy and keep snapping away. We have spotted a coyote on the golf course and I will try to capture him digitally if he gets closer to the house.

March is going to be Mike month! The focus will be to get him back to work before the end of this month. He needs it. Sitting around inside watching TV all day has about run its course. And the trips to Target and Chili's will need to be financed with more than unemployment compensation. He is off this morning again with the job developer to interview for another job. Everyone seems to like him, and he has done well on the interviews so we just have to stay positive that something will open soon. Which brings us to todays quote:

"Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need."
Voltaire

Go Mike GO Mike Go Mike...Yayyy! This is the month of Mike he will get a job very soon. It is very strange, but we also have coyotes in our neighborhood. I never even knew they were this close to where we live.
Keep up the postings...and keep up the quotes. They are thought provoking and interesting to think about. Sometimes our lives have a way of getting away from us and out of control, the quotes are a great taking off point to bring reality and what is really important to the forefront.
Feel the positive energy flowing your way. Only a few more days until Jessica is there, what a special treat. You will probably take a backseat to AJ but know we think you are every bit as cute ; )
Thinking of you all and not the new snow that is coming...
Hugs, Hugs and more hugs

You sound great! I too appreciate all your communication and continue to be motivated by your quote choices (as well as, your wonderful attitude)!
I hope for a good fitting job for Mike - he is such a sweetheart - my prayer is that he can work someplace where he can be truly appreciated!
Glad for the sunshine - it does have a way of lightening the heart.
Prayers and love coming your way!

Happy March...from one of your "regular" commentors. I have missed writing for a day or two as I had the misfortune of pulling my calf muscle during a Working Women's Tennis Match and have been navigating on crutches for the last few days. It seems to be even difficult to make it to the computer. I will admit that I was rather stubborn when it happened and refused to "retire" as my partner and I were up 4-0 in the first set; at that point my ego desperately needed a win. My partner chased all the balls and we ended up winning 6-0, 6-0. Ofcourse I am paying the price this week.

I will cross my fingers that Mike finds the perfect job. Have a great visit with Jessica; hello to all, love to all and many prayers.
