Disappointments......The Window Will Be Opened

I am asking for patience at the moment. My husband was going to be working here, but as it turned out he didn't fit. :( My initial response was shock and disbelief, but to be honest I had that woman's intuition and had even told him to pull his application. I did not think it would work, but I had been lulled into thinking that it would. It was so comforting to have him here with me and to count on his desiring a Chinese meal and mornings filled with coffee drinking and hugs and kisses other than on weekends. Well,it has ended and I am back to weekend wife. I am hoping that he will find the work that he needs and that he will be able to keep his strength and stamina. Life is hard for all of us, but our job is to make the lemonade and be sure to open the window to let the NEW [whatever it is) in! I shall be patient.

Graduation Joys

Yesterday was the high school's graduation. It was perfect weather, the gym was filled, the service went off like clockwork, and there are now a happy bunch of new KHS alumni! I loved going and seeing my students. It makes me proud to have been a part of their progress. I know the parents are relieved as well and tears of joy were definitely allowed. Celebrations abound and plans for the future are flourishing. This is a transitioning time for all. The Seniors are saying their farewells to their friends and families as they depart for school, military, or to try their fortunes elsewhere. It can be a lonely feeling. I can remember that summer myself. I was taking a class in Composition and felt like I was floundering. It was my first exposure to college and I was out of contact with my high school friends. But like all of life's experience, there was something more along the way. I am thankful that I had my family and other adults to guide me.
