New transition

Tomorrow marks a transition for me at work.
There are a number of things I struggle with in my work environment.
Most people know that I still miss my former career.
But I don't necessarily long to go back to youth ministy.
I am trying to make this new career path work for me.

Included with my effort to feel as though my place of employment is the best place for me to be, I am continually trying to improve upon the physical place I work as well. I am hoping if things are physically comfortable, then the emotional aspect will follow suit.

So only time will tell if I grow to be more comfortable in my work environment or not.

Regardless of whether or not I adjust and find my place in the work place, I know I am finding a home here in Oregon. I certainly enjoy the milder winters.
It isn't everywhere that you can walk the mall in January and find them selling flowers.

In fact many nurseries are advertising and selling plants for this time of year.
Primroses seem to be popular right now.

Of one thing I am certain. Back home they aren't doing planting of any sort.

Welcome to Oregon!

Julie,
Thanks for blogging and keeping me informed of a little of your life. Alas I have not taken the time to blog. I need to make it a priority again. I had a weird and wonderful experience driving to Nplatte yesterday, perhaps I should wrap some words around that.......
peace buddy!

Flowers in Jan!? I would LOVE it! I'm late in reading your post and now, being early March, we have the first, bright yellow crocus peeking up. I love it when the earth first reminds us about the wonders of creation - and that it's still going on!
