First Monday in Autumn

 

I'm not sure why this wasn't sent when I wrote it but here it is!  I've been loving being able to focus on my artistic side these days! I've been painting, quilting, building stuff - I finished our deck railing and built a set of stairs for it.  I thought I took a picture of it but maybe not.

I'm hopeful that I am able to enjoy day until then without have a mental countdown of the number of days until I retire.  I love my job, I love working, I really do.  But what I ended up doing for my career was by default. I never really thought about counseling but I certainly did well in all of my counseling classes. Good enough that a professor suggested that I apply for a master's program in Counselor Educaton/Vocational Rehab. I think I'm good at what I do and what I did but I'm of the mind that people generally only need a nudge to get back on track. 

I'm ready to focus my life in a more artistic direction and the thought of it excites more and more each day! So bring on autumn! And winter and spring and summer! I'll enjoy them all!
