Week Before Last

 Had to have a day to myself...I especially like the Garden of the Gods in weather!  The common view are photos of bright clear days...now, don't get me wrong-those ARE beautiful days here, but, personally, I like seeing the grey/blue hues.

  Kissing Camels are always nice!

 Last week there was something I had to do that I would never have dreamed that I would have to do... to state what that was isn't exactly something I want to spell out in my blog, but to 'test' and get a baseline is part of the ongoing plan of  having to move on and quiet some nagging thoughts.

So, I set out to buy myself a ring at the Trading Post.  My comfortable ring size is 9 1/2...hard to find a woman's turquoise ring in that size.  My eye was caught by a faux ring with abalone shell! It spoke strength to me. I will never again have to do what I had to do last week. I am committed to myself....and my son and daughter. It may tarnish is a couple of weeks of hard wearing, but I'll get that ring I'm searching for :) ...and it has nothing to do with diamonds!

..and with this plan of growth, my need to get grounded, I went back to what I loved -to a group I loved working with......I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CDL BACK FROM COLORADO AND MY OLD JOB BACK WITH D-49 DRIVING  BUSES!!!  (the one I was ripped from needlessly back in December when certain people knew things yet failed to share the insight with others.....) 

Unfortunately, because I had 'resigned'..I lost all my five years of seniority and accumulated sick days....but I still was able to bid on a route and yesterday was my first day...Monday ALL students start back!!! This includes my own son attending 'his'  high school as a JUNIOR!
