Allergies, allergies, allergies

Spring is vicious! I find it so sad that a season I so look forward to results in Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin and eye drops. My body will be happier when it's 104 degrees and everything is dead. sad, sad, sad.....

i'm typing this with only my left arm because i had right shoulder surgery about 8 days ago. my mom is concerned that i'm going to get addicted to pain meds. i'm not anticipating that being a problem. i can't stand staying home all day every day; so i'm living on advil so i can drive places. i start pt on tuesday. OUCH!!

the new job started wnderfully well. I have really enjoyed it although i've had to take quite a bit of time off for my shoulder. it has been difficult going back and forth. i feel like i have to start over every time. there have been some uncomfortable moments of my feeling like i'm the knot in a tug of war, but i guess it's just the adjusting that everyone is having to do.

i find myself constantly questioning whether or not i'm where i'm supposed to be. a friend continually reminds me that i am simply b/c it is where i am. i'm not convinced it's quite as simple as that; however, i heard a short message by brian houston (hillsong) that was a huge encouragement. the title is -using the things in your hand. he talked about how "calling" is what's in our hands - our talents, gifts, careers, what we are good at. he defined purpose as that which is in our hearts to do - the dreams god has given us to make difference. if you want to be challenged to live in your calling as god works to fulfill your (really HIS) purpose, i would encourage you to listen to this message!!

i am going to have to get creative. i've got several weeks of recuperation, and everyone else is at work. we shall see how it progresses......

sorry for the ee cummings style. only one arm, remember? :p
