this prairie road

Hey my vast readers out there - hee, hee - I fool no one but myself to say that - ok not really :)

Apologies for the seeming absence - though I was with "you" in spirit. I'm back online - connected once again to the lovely World Wide Web from my little corner of Alberta, where the grains grow tall, the milk flow "free" - but the oil definitely doesn't! (flow "free" that is, uh... I won't touch that subject!)

So in the space of a month, I have secured myself a total of 3 jobs! Nevermind I'm quitting one but ya - it's all good. As my friend so genuinely congratulated me back to the Canadian workforce - I'm thinking it'll be nice to finely have an influx of cash (on a somewhat regular basis).

In other news - well the social life still has MUCH to be desired.........sigh........but it's coming (I speak prophetically :) ) I've been to a couple churches in town............one in particular..........how do I describe? The last time I was there I felt like it was a breath of fresh air - something I've needed after many months.

I'm setting out to force myself into social situations :) I always find it funny when some people get to know me, then I mention that I tend to be the "shy type" & I always get reactions of disbelief. I suppose I'm comfortable enough in a group of friends whom most, if not all, that I know fairly well - but set me in a room where I don't know people & I'm thinking - ok, how do I make small talk again?

For goodness sake - when I trekked across to Toronto many moons ago - it didn't seem to be too much of an issue. But then again - everyone else was sorta in the same boat too, being that we all came from our corners of the world to live in that warehouse! ha, ha - a fact I still find hilariously funny. Definitely stories for the grandkids (again I am speaking prophetically - ha, ha)

One day I suppose I'll wake up, social life in high gear & wonder what the heck this blog was all about but for now it serves its purpose.

This is going out to all those who've traversed the road of transition...........or you who will as well. May it be somewhat about finding you & all about finding God!
