Be Still

This morning, while perusing Facebook, I came across a give a way from Kristen at We Are THAT Family.  She's giving away a trio of canvases from Show Offs Arts, saying Faith, Hope and Love.  So, I decided to enter and looked around the site.  Great art work, but my favorite is the Mugs Canvas.  It has two of my favorite things.....coffee and my favorite bible verse, "Be Still and know that I am God.".

That verse seems to always appear just when I need to see it.  I'm going to assume that I could use a reminder today....  :)  I'm getting my "new" life together here, I am happy and even though, I'm sure, many won't see it that way.  I know that most of my family and friends won't see this, not many are internet users other than email and the occasional FB and shopping...   but I love and miss them all very much and hope they will understand at some point.  Location doesn't mean a thing when you are close in heart, and I hope they see that.

I'm working three afternoons/evenings this week to learn the supervisory end of those shifts.  Nothing I haven't done before.  I find that most places have the same exact people...from PA to OR or MD to MI... people are the same everywhere.  Some will be ok with the fact that I'm a new supervisor (I do have my allies) and there will be some that won't like it.  That's fine....time to make my mark here.

Musings.........as usual

I will say that it has been an interesting 2 weeks.  Leaving a job and company I loved, moving away from friends and family...enlightening to say the least.  But, I will say, that I don't regret a thing.  I've been pretty quiet on all fronts as far as FB and emails to people go.  I'm not sure what to say and not really wanting to say a thing to anyone.  But, again, what else is new?  I'm quiet and that really unnerves people.  I don't say a whole lot but I do think that if you know me at all, you can tell or know what I'm thinking.  I'm not as hard to figure out as some may think.

Tomorrow I start a new job.  Kind of at the bottom, but promotion is in the works in the next 4 weeks.  I'm going back to what I know best, restaurant work.  I love working in a bank and would have welcomed that just as much, but restaurants are what contacted me and the owner seemed impressed by my resume.  I can only hope I live up to it.  For the record, its a Tim Horton's franchise and I'm pretty excited to work there.  Forget the coffee angle, it seems like a decent place and the owner seems pretty cool.

I've spent the last 2 weeks as a sort of SAHM...*smiles*  I've got my pup Belle with me and spending the days cleaning up, doing laundry, cooking etc...  I'm gonna be honest and say I did miss it a bit, but I need to work.  Mainly the money angle, but I also need to feel useful.  As far as doing anything else, I feel pretty useless and like a failure, but that's my own issue.

As my new profile status thing says........I am embarking on a new adventure.  I will be leaving my current state of residence and moving 2 states over to the north.  Its a big change and a big decision to make but I have a good feeling about it.  The worst part is leaving my friends and family, but its not like I"m leaving forever.  I'm still accessible... *smiles*
