Although my blog is not published on the blogger.com directory I decided to take my father's advice and use a bit more discretion with my posts. It is probably a good idea to be careful with what I say and I apprectiate his suggestion. The following is a truncated version of my post from yesterday:
So far my time here after work has been pretty uneventful and my boss keeps asking me if I'm okay being alone in the evenings. I told him that this time is time I can take for myself, to read and grow in my faith and just relax. I love that I have so much time to reflect and become a stronger more faithful person. Those few moments I spend alone in the evenings have been my favorite part of being here. It has made me realize that I have so much work to do to become the woman that I really want to be, but has also presented a great challenge and opportunity to really take time for myself and make the most use out of my time away from the office.
And for today:
I have met some wonderful people who work in my department. Most people have been very friendly and one lady even brought me a map today, complete with directions to the Catholic church that Grandpa and I couldn't find. Another lady and her husband invited me to dinner this weekend. And another woman invited me to come with her to church on Sunday. I am happy to be surrounded by positive co-workers who are concerned about my well being, and I have heard that the churches here are full of people my age, so I'm excited to get involved and meet some people.
Tomorrow is the last day of my first week of work and I can't wait for the weekend. I am very exhausted but also really excited about my job. And Saturday I think Nick and Jenny might come down to visit. I do feel better about the position today since I ate lunch with Jeanette, the woman who retired from my position in January. She gave me some good advice and told me to call her if I need anything, which made me feel 100% better about the job.
We also interviewed an instructor today to start a mom and tots class and also an aerobics class with child care, so Julie Woolie, we took your suggestion and are trying to make it work. I'll keep you posted and let you know if we get enough people to sign up for the class.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more
