I can't tell you how happy I am to be working for The Salvation Army. Just to be working for a nonprofit again is incredibly fulfilling. Dustin has remarked that I am myself again. I hadn't realized how awful I felt having to go to jobs that I hated everyday and didn't find meaning in at all. I have missed this -working long hours, putting in extra effort, being willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done, because getting the job done means people are fed physically and spiritually, children get toys and clothes and can have a glimpse of true childhood, families are relieved if even just for one night of the stress of putting food on the table or the worry of how they might pay their water bill. This is true work. I have missed it. I am thankful beyond words that God has given it to me again.

I am very glad you like your career. You deserve a better job than your phonecard in gas station thingy.
Yesterday, my cousin called me to say that "he was on his way home from work. You know, WORK!" Such a supportive family I have! :)
I have one more sign that it was time for you to leave Tampa- Tia's closed down. We would have had to find a new place for Margaritas.
No more margaritas??? You MUST leave, leave now!! There's plenty of great microbrews in the Northwest to comfort you. =)
