work has been a wonderful balm to my soul these past few days ... most of you know that i work in a park ... the view outside my window is of gentle forests by the waters edge ... i drive to work in the mornings and see all manner of wildlife and birds ... the roads are generally quiet during those early hours ... it feels like the world is still asleep as i guide my car along the highway ... as i drive, i have my morning prayer time, trying to get the right mind and heart set for the day ...
i thank my Heavenly Father for this job that landed in my lap 12 years ago ...
unlike other years, the first 2 weeks at work were so unsettled and tried my patience - thankfully, these last 2 weeks have made up for the hard days - and then some ...
even though i work weekends all summer, i don't mind ... i get to enjoy mondays at home ... * big grin * ...

If one must work, it is good to have a pleasant place to work! So happy for you! Blessings...
Good thing that it's better now (again).
The spring flowers are so great. We too have our first tree-full-of-flowers (damson plum), and it's like a beautiful bride ready to take her vows :)

sharon ... actually i'm in the office, but there is a lovely deck at the back where we can sit during breaks ... or walk to the lake which is only a "girlie stone's throw" away ... it's all in the praise category! hope you are enjoying your summer time up north!
