Techno Geek...
...I am not.
But you are now reading this post from the new blog address....isn't technology wonderful?
Things in life have been a mixed bag lately. I have lots of stuff I want to do but at times I feel frozen. Family issues conspire to drain me of all energy and willingness to do anything.
I have learned that you can not make other people do anything...all you can do is change the way you react (or refuse to react) to what they are doing. Unfortunately, that does not make it any better when I witness the suffering of those I love. I want to help, I just don't know how. By simply watching 'helplessly' I feel so inadequate, so 'not doing the right thing'...even though *I* don't know what the right thing is.
And through all of this chaos and commotion is a rock I cling to. His name is Erin. He keeps throwing me a life preserver and I can not thank him enough. I have my faith too - but it is often the last thing I turn to - and I worry that I am going to overload my husband with my worries. That is not what I want to do...he has his own burdens. Yes. We are a team. I hope that I am as supportive and helpful to him as he is to me.
I also want to thank my friends and family (and you know who you are)for your love and support too. You help me in ways that you can not even imagine and you all mean the world to me.

In other news...
I will start a 'temp' position on Wednesday. It is only suppose to last for 1-2 months. Since it is located in 'the hood' that is fine with me and, since I am actively pursuing other opportunities (one of which is looking very promising), I will not feel all that guilty if I end up taking another position (even if it pays less)....
My husband and I are working on a book together...it is about faith, and stained glass, and churches and it is going to be beautiful.
The new kittens are hysterical and frustrating at the same time...they do cute things which make up for all the destruction they cause at times.
Anyhow...I am hoping to write more as the new year progresses...with luck, the muse will be kind to me.
