Mondays!!!

Its Monday...still haven't gotten over that even with me not working still brings a very small sense of dragging my feet.  I've taken two classes today.  One on resumes and the other on...Career Exploration...one of the careers the survey said I should take up is being a pilot or transportation management like train conductor..funny didn't see me as the train conductor type!!!  HOOT HOOT...get out of my way!!!  Best horn noise you'll get from me.

Now I have to work on my Mission/Vision/Values statement for my business....and no clue where to go with it....talk about writers block.  And you can tell I am avoiding it because I am on here.  Has to be done by tomorrow morning 9:30am.   I should actually be outside...its 73 and gorgeous....Reminds me of California!

I did get a bunch of daffodils when I was at Trader Joe's...makes me smile just looking at them.  And yellow isn't really one of my colors but I always buy a bunch when I'm ready for spring.  Actually going to do my clay pot garden...well it does include some other containers, since we rent we can't actually dig up the yard.  Doing onions, lettuce, garlic and tomatoes...and I always have some herbs growing.  My wonderful husband made me some boxes to grow them in. 

Well off to go actually try to figure out my future...

Birthdays!!!

This week marks one birthday down...My daughter Elizabeth turned 23 on March 8th!!!  I can't believe it.  Doesn't seem like that much time has gone by.  The next birthday is my stepdaughter Christa who will be 16 on March 18th...another milestone...then my son Elijah will be 19 on April 5th...Dennis & Jordan happen in August.

Today is a day for sorting, organizing and some cooking...I know my momma would be proud.  Getting rid of the junk and excess in my life...well except the wine...chocolate and other things that I love so much.  Yes...I do love my family but sometimes the others come first.

My other goal this week is to get my mission, values & vision statement for my business.  And the business would be....??? So far we know I like wine and cooking.  Thinking we start a wine tour business and I do some cooking at the wineries...put my Cali spin on things in the Midwest.

For those not in Missouri we have over 110 wineries...shocking I know and they have some great wine out there.  Kansas I am sorry to say only has 22....Again the "Show Me" state wins!

In planning tours there are several close to Kansas City...YES...we've tried all of them...which could be a good or bad thing.

So now I'm off...doing my spin on bread sticks with BACON!!!  Let me tell you...that's a great appetizer in itself...I put some pics up later with what I come up with.

Changes

Changes...sometimes they're made because we want to or pushed into them.  I have had alot of changes in the last year...almost a year since cancer was found...almost a year since we kicked its butt....now I've been laid off from work. 

If that isn't change I don't know what is.  I am going to change the name of the blog...haven't decided what to change it to but going to talk about a few things in my world and the world around me.

I know having cancer has changed alot of how I view things, but let me tell you....losing your job steps that up a notch.

I am at the crossroads...where do I go...where is my new direction.  Thinking I may start with a compass...plumb line?  Something that will help me decide.  My main issue is that I have alot I would love to do but I have to pick one. 

Who would have thought at 47(almost forgot I had a birthday!!! Happy Birthday to Me!!!), I would be trying to figure out which road to walk...some call this time an encore career...didn't think I really had a career to begin with, lol

Now a new direction...new blog....new adventures...
