New Days - Same Stuff...


Gordy is home for his first weekend from his new job. He is happy and settled with his new vocation. I am overwhelmed...mostly.

Pros: 1) More money - specifically - money available to just - do stuff. The last year has been a severe drought. God has been faithful. I always told Gordy that God did not bring us this far to make us homeless...and we still have our house that we will grow old in and my grandchildren come home to visit. 2) Gordy's self-competitiveness will pay off. He, for the past 4 years has always competed with himself and other workers...to no avail. He would 'best' his last best day - but have nothing to show for it. 3) Gordy is one of the hardest working men I know - now he will be able to fully see the fruits of his labors. 4) Gordy needed a change - he really wouldn't say that specifically - but he is walking 'lighter and quicker' - happy and content. 5) He's old...not a young man to be slinging 5 gallons of paint around every day - he was worried that his body would be broken down too early. 6) Finally - he is rested and we will be having more defined weekend family time...I am excited for that.

Cons: 1) He's gone - some days it is easy - some days - not...2) Having to learn all the computer stuff...he's reaaallllyyyy slow...3)....ummmm....can't think of anything else yet....

I guess the Pros - out weigh the Cons...

We'll see how week 2 shapes up....
