This Week

 This has been a rough week for me.  Yesterday I took that negative energy I was feeling and did some planting.  The front flower bed has been so bare and boring so I added these plants, which will eventually grow a lot bigger filled with white flowers.  

I also split the hostas and added them around the edge.  The great thing about hostas is they're low maintenance and continuously grow.  They can be split and moved very easily.  I'm happy with this change.  I wish I could be happy about all changes.  

I got a phone call earlier this week that I'm being moved to a different school to work in the cafeteria.  I know the staff and it wouldn't be so bad.  I'm thankful for a job at all.  But I've been in this current school for 4 years.  This is the school my kids attend(ed) and I've gotten to know all of the teachers, staff and students.  I have a special relationship with all of them.  I would hate to start over somewhere else.  I applied for an office job at the school but haven't heard anything yet.  Another girl in the cafeteria just got a teacher's aide position so I'm hoping this means I can stay.  I doubt it, but I hope.  It feels so awful now but I know things happen for a reason and I'm sure something good will come from this eventually.  

I also had 6 spots removed and found that 2 of them are skin cancer.  I have an appointment tomorrow to see if surgery is needed.  

My depression has really been  hitting me hard this week and I've felt alone in it.  I know my husband means well, but he's said a lot of things that I just didn't need to hear.  I don't need advice or lectures.  I just need to be given peace when I'm down.  When Elijah battled depression God did not send an angel to preach to him, He sent an angel to comfort him.  That's all I ever want in those times.  

I'm really not sure what the future holds but I'm hopeful.  All I can do is take it one day at a time and know that whatever path I'm given to take it with gratitude and appreciation.  I can also find some good along the way.  

And I have to end this post by showing you something wonderful my husband did.  He's been wanting to do this for a long time and it's finally complete.  I have to say he did a really amazing job.
