20 Wishes...

I recently read the Debbie Macomber book entitled, 20Wishes. It is a story about a group of women whose husbands have all recently passes away. They meet periodically to support each other in getting on with there lives. One day one of the women brings up the idea of starting a list of her 20 wishes. These can be as grand or minute as they wish them to be. Then through the course of the book they discuss their progress in working toward their wishes. Some require nothing more than going out and buying what you want, some require taking classes and some require a bit of divine intervention. But, what you gain from the book is that if you stay focused on what you really want it is entirely attainable. So, I have decided to work on a list of my wishes. I seem to be slightly mired with what my day to day needs are and how to go about fulfilling those wishes. But, with a little effort I will get my list done. I'm thinking of using a journal to keep the list and see how I do. Unfortunately, I am currently the supplier of wishes for 3 others right now so I think my wish list may be a little slow in the process. But, hopefully if I focus it will come about. I will focus and we'll see how I do.

Now for bigger and better news. I finally got a job. It is the first job that I applied for, it seems that some large companies take time. I was beginning to think that it was never going to happen but I tried to be patient and things have worked out very well. I will do paperwork and take a physical next week and then I will start after that. I am excited to start working so that I can put some of our debt behind us and change living from day to day to having a future. Things seem messy now but will hopefully get better as time moves forward. Now I need to focus on getting things ready for work. Clothes, the house, things of that nature.

We celebrated Grace's graduation and Mike's birthday this weekend. I think everyone had a good time. We barbecued on the birthday gift. That didn't go as smoothly as planned. I think we need to practice more before we barbecue for anyone else. Grace had a great time, she loved her graduation and enjoyed seeing family. I think everyone had a good time and there was a ton of food so if anyone went hungry it was there fault for not getting themselves something. Next party will be at someone else's house. I have hosted a couple now and would like to be the guest for a change. Besides my house isn't that big and always ends up busting at the seams.

Enjoy your week! Jen
