yesterday was my first day of work in more than 2 years. i got a full-time job in a local, independently-owned, bookstore. other than the understandably low salary i am thrilled. if all the bills get paid i'll be thrilled with the money too. those of you who know me well know how important books are to me. i love the thought of being surrounded by books and book people again. the words and works of great writers are much more of a comfort to me than a big bank account.
i had a full day of training yesterday and am waiting to hear when my regular schedule will start. i think (and pray) that it will be sometime this week. the sooner the better. i spent a few hours with daddy today celebrating father's day. that was nice. other than that it's been a quiet day with my book and the scrabble app on my iPad.
i am so grateful for all the prayers, words of encouragement, positive thoughts and job leads given by friends and family in the last 2 years. not to mention the financial help which has kept me afloat in a very difficult time and a stagnant economy. much love and thanks to y'all.
i sure hope that a routine and regular time out of this house will help a little with my anxiety and that working again may help with my very painful and exhausting insomnia.
grace and peace
