May Daze

Good gravy life is busy....

Jazzercise -- I'm back in as an instructor and have been subbing like crazy. It's just as nuts as I remember -- including some drama with fellow instructors. Luckily none of it has anything to do with me, so if I can keep my nose out of it, all will be well. My biggest issue is I'm NOT LOSING WEIGHT like I thought I would. I need to start counting calories again, I suppose. I really really really want to get down in the 140s. *sigh* Patience.

Scentsy is rocking. Lots of changes in the company. And my team is growing. 16 now! Woo hoo! It has been a huge blessing, pushing me out of my comfort zone and all. I know somehow God is using it to grow me as a person.

Speaking of the Father...I got roped/asked/corralled into helping on the PWOC board next year. Nothing fancy, a co-position with another lady. But I'm very happy to be able to serve the group -- it is a FABULOUS group. I hope I can do well, and use my talents and gifts from God to glorify Him as He deserves.

A friend left this week, like, moved away for good left. It's weird. She was a really great person, very open, funny....I'm really sorry I didn't get to know her better. She stopped by my house before she left town for a few reasons, one of which was to say goodbye. I hugged her and wished her well. And she drove away. And I thought, "That's it?" I didn't cry. But I'd been in tears a few times in the weeks leading up to it. Aw dang, and now I'm writing and NOW I'm crying. We'll keep in touch on FB and all that jazz, but I'm truly sad I didn't get to know her better. I suppose that's a lesson for me, to squeeze all I can out of the friendships I have here and now, because they WILL leave. It's the military.

Sierra, I am wishing you the best, girl. And, if Uncle Sam and God ever put us together again, I want to hear all about your time in Japan and you liked your time "out East" and let our kids play at the park all the time. I'm really glad I met you, that you and Tegan made that scared woman in Lori Jo's class feel so welcome. I'll never forget that.
