I am continually amazed by other people in the world. At least two of the blogs I follow are written by women who are facing challenges in their lives. One is recovering from the loss of her husband; the other woman is expecting her first child, a child who has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus. They both ave very different ways of dealing with the trials they have been given. One I have never met, the other was a college roommate. I so admire my roommate and her strength and faith. She is such an example to me. I am so very grateful to have had the blessing of sharing an apartment with her and two other amazing girls. I have been very blessed.
Recently, I was lamenting that I was going crazy from boredom. I am looking for a job and haven't been able to find one yet. I just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in secondary education last month. I can teach theatre, speech, art, and once I know if I passed my Praxis exam, English. I loved taking university courses, in spite of the homework, and have missed being able to attend classes. I was jealous when my husband started a new semester at the beginning of the month. For about a week, I didn't know what to do with myself. Now I'm finding things to do. After all, as a kid if you said you were bored my mom would give you a job to do. I'm now giving piano lesson to two women from church. I am taking a community watercolor class at the university. I've taught myself to knit. I'm compiling and scanning letters my grandmother wrote my grandfather during WWII. I'm job hunting. I'm going to start learning to play the violin. I decided that instead of bemoaning my boredom that I'd do the things I've always wanted to, but didn't have time to do while in school; including blogging. I am seizing the
day!
