Just Another Manic Monday in the Life

Some may say I'm strange, but I'm ecstatic to be at work today. I've had vertigo problems since last Wednesday and missed 1/2 day Thursday and all day Friday. I was, thankfully, able to work from home, but not as much as I could get done here at the office.

I'm very blessed to have an awesome and understanding boss.

And, as my title indicates, it's not really a full on 'manic' Monday, but it's had it's moments.

It's always hard after a few days of rest to get back in the swing. One would think I would be used to it by now, I've been working for 30 years. One would be wrong. I cherish my weekends because it is time spent with family and friends with no rush-rush craziness going on.

I'm starting on a list of priorities for my workdays. I need to have some quiet time for prayer and devotions in the mornings. I do listen to Focus on the Family's program every morning on my commute which is such a blessing. I also need to start back on my exercise program. There just aren't enough hours in the day during the week. If I could read on the treadmill like some folks do, that would be great, but I have bad motion sickness already, I can't even WATCH someone read while they are on the treadmill. And yes, I laugh at myself about it. But, it is what it is. I have no doubt I would end up on some funniest home video as my ample behind flew off the treadmill while trying to read my Bible.

Back to work.

A First Blog in the Life

As my title indicates, I'm a newbie blogger. I've had an online 'journal' for a number of years now, not sure if this works the same way. I was introduced to this format by my husband's children's mother. I hate to say 'ex-wife'- because more importantly she is mother to my wonderful stepchildren and a person I'm blessed to call my friend.

I haven't really decided what I'll write about here. Once I'm more comfortable with who I know is reading, I'll go from there.

I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm a 44 yeard old wife, mother, and most importantly child of God. I was raised and still live in the South. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on my 44th birthday. It does not define who I am, and I am quite determined to make it a blessing in my life and most importantly to others.

I'll leave that for now.
