Morning Sunrise and Bundles

This morning I woke up with my 2 year old grandson, Grayson, in the bed next to me - all snuggled up in the warm sheets and blanket.  In the dark, early morning hour I gently got out of bed to take the dog out for his morning walk, made coffee, and then headed to the computer for my morning devotional.

As the pink hues of the sun began to glow across the horizon I hear this little voice in a questioning tone, "Nana?"  My heart swells with joy.  The day begins and the gifts of God continue.  This morning I am happy and so grateful for the blessings He sends.

Telecommuting - Day 1

Today starts my next chapter - TELECOMMUTING.  I am so excited to get to do this everyday except Monday when I will go into the office.  I'm keeping a diary of what I wear each Monday so as not to wear the same favorite outfit every week - I figure I should be able to never wear the same thing twice for the next 9 months.  My goal is to get up every morning and walk 30-45 minutes - this is (of course) in place of the time spent driving into work - I'll definitely save on my car wear and tear not to mention the toll charges.  I plan to wear yoga pants & t-shirts everyday unless I decide different.  I've let my friends who are local know that I'm available for lunch - just sayin' (but of course not wearing yoga pants and t’s)  

So today I got up, got dressed, drove to the 'sidewalk by the lake' and walked 30 minutes.  Living on a highway with no sidewalks makes me have to drive to my chosen walking path.  There were a few walkers already out when I arrived - most looked to be retirees - hmmm, so this is what you do when you retire.  I can handle that.  I turned my tunes to the soundtrack of HAMILTON and off I went.  Then this happened...

When my boss approved the telecommuting agreement she said it was my test drive for retirement - I agreed.

Praising God from whom all blessings flow…
