Have made it to the gym a few times but haven't blogged like I wanted to. First time I have really felt like writing anything.
First of all there was a major project that i "volunteered" to do at work with regards to a co-worker who was retiring. I volunteered to put together a video presentation for her retirement "party" and got major accolades from everyone there including the director of the department. In fact the response was so well that I was presented last Thursday with a "Falcon Award" which the place I work gives out to employees who exhibit superior performance and is given upon recommendation of a department head and or a manager and i was actually presented by both.
i was a little surprised as i am used to people going gaga over some of the stuff i put together since im not one to shout from the rooftops about all the things that I know how to do.
The timing on this is interesting as the position that was vacated as a result of this retirement opens up interviews this coming week. I had long ago put in my resume - actually before they "officially" started asking if anyone was interested in the position. i actually have an interview this coming Tuesday with the director for this position.
I will set one intention right now - if i manage to obtain this position I promise that after making sure all my bills are paid and up to date that my goal will be to arrange and make a trip to Jerusalem as a pilgrimage if you will - because I feel and know that aside from my potential qualifications etc for the job, that if i get it it will be a blessing from God( I feel) and I feel that with all that has gone on in my life in the last year or two that if the opportunity presents itself for me to go on pilgrimage, then I have to make it a top priority to go.
Things with S are still the same. This weekend i didn't see him because he spent time with his Aunt "Tine" who has been diagnosed with cancer and is not doing so well. As she spent substantial time with him and was a care giver for him when he was a child growing up he's close to her and so i could understand him making a point to spend some time with her. while she has not been very forthcoming with regards to her condition and prognosis, from what I understand from various members of the family, S included she's not doing well at all.
This is one of those things that you pray on and ask for understanding and patience. As much as i would have liked to see and or spend some time with S, had to understand the circumstance and accept it with grace. Notice I said with grace - to accept it any other way would have been in actuality non-acceptance.
Lastly but not at all least I am going to try to get back into spin class this week. the challenge to that is the classes fill up very quickly. I already tried to get in the class here by my house but they are already full up for monday night. Tomorrow when i get to work I will have to call and see if out of the two gyms by me either one has a spot open. That will again be a challenge because the area where they are usually they are always filled up but I promise to try at least and if I can't get into the spin class I STILL will go to the gym anyway.
At least that is my INTENTION....
Peace...
