What a perfect time of year to experience change. The weather is certainly changing...the leaves are past their peak and each morning less grass is visible on our lawn. In a few days the excitement of Halloween will be over and the next season will bombard us from every direction. This morning Jesse and I watched city workers string Christmas lights at our local park. Life is never dull. Our little family will also be experiencing our own change. (No, we are not having a baby!) After 7 1/2 years out of the work force, I am slowly making my way back into the world of paid employment. An amazing opportunity was offered to me and although I wasn't considering going back to work for a few more years, I just could not pass it up. I will be providing counseling at a local bible college for 6 hours a week. The amount of time is perfect as it provides me with a new challenge but hopefully won't disrupt our family life too much. I am anticipating a huge learning curve but have received so much support from colleagues, friends and family that I am ready to push myself in this new direction. I hope I can still keep up with all my interests...I may need to cut myself some slack and let go of some things. Change is good.

Your words are so true - change is good, even when it's hard. Congratulations on this new opportunity, Catherine!
Just seeing and thinking of all those leaves in your backyard makes my knees hurt.
