Today was my four month anniversary of working at the JPH. Woo-who!
The sun decided to help me celebrate and made a comeback today! The giant celestial light
bulb shed some light on the subject of fall in Maine…and let me tell you it’s
awfully beautiful.
Today I found out that I wasn't passively fired from morning
kitchen prep. Rather, the scheduler this week didn't realize that I was
available to help out for an hour or so before the info booth starts getting
busy in the morning. This morning I mopped the main dining room, swept the balcony,
and wiped down the outside tables. Gary, the maintenance guy, complimented me
on my mopping. I’d say that was the nicest compliment I've received lately.
Before the Packer game tonight, I talked on the phone with a
friend from Montana and a friend from Wisconsin. It’s crazy to think how in the
last four years I have spent at least four months living in Wisconsin, Montana,
Washington, DC, and Maine and made such great friends along the way. Each season in life has yielded great experiences and
people that have come into my life. It’s nice to be able to catch up with
people from those previous seasons in life.
I've come to realize, however, that only
God really does have a constant presence in my life. Not that all of you as my beloved friends and family haven't been there for me over the years, but distance (and times zones) do make staying connected difficult. I am thankful to have a relationship with the eternal and omnipresent God to serve as the foundation of my life. Likewise, I'm thankful for my friends and family who provide great support, encouragement, guidance, and companionship. They may not replace that of my creator and savior, but it does a great job supplementing it.
Okay, this is getting too deep...how about them Packers tonight?!
