Hi there and welcome to My Personal Journal :-)
Today has been such a pleasure so far... Of course it started out with my newspaper and coffee. And then I watched a very interesting and profound message from Charles Stanley which really put me in this peaceful content mood. As I was sitting out on my balcony relishing the mood and listening to the birds sing, I realized how absolutely gorgeous the weather was outside. Perfect weather to take a walk and that's exactly what I did... I took an adventure through the woods that separate the apartment complex and the nearby lake and rose garden. It brought me to the railroad tracks that go over the lake and even though it said "no trespassing" I couldn't resist the urge to walk along them to the view of the lake. Oh my what a beautiful sight! I lingered there, soaking up the sun, feeling the breeze on my face, and thinking how nice it was to be alive.

Patience... such an easy word to write, but so hard to practice. Everyday for the last 6 months, I've been waiting... waiting patiently. First for my doctor's appointment to tell me that I'm still in remission... then for the Air Force to say that I was going back onto active duty or stay retired... and now, waiting for word that I can reenlist next week. There's days that I go from one extreme to the other... like wanting to SCREAM at the world and then turning around and doing absolutely nothing. But of course I have good days like I did this past Sunday (see above) and yesterday and today I've been pretty patient. BUT I'M READY TO GO BACK TO WORK NOWWWWWWWW!!!! I need to get on with my life.

It's official now... I reenlist back into the United States Air Force on 16 Feb 99. Yippee Yahoo!!! Still don't know where I will be stationed, but as long as I trust in the Lord, then all will be fine... no matter where I end up. :-)

Valentine's Day is tomorrow. A day for lover's... A day to express your love to the people that mean the most to you... A day for forgiveness. So who is my valentine? You'll meet him soon. He is my best friend, my soulmate, my dream come true... His name is John.
We are in what you call a "long-distance relationship." Yes, it's hard at times, but we'll survive and our love will grow ever stronger. You see, our love is new... it's special... and it's real... Happy Valentine's Day my love...

Ask me if I feel alive, fullfilled and blessed?? Yes, I do!! I've been back to work now for a week and it feels great. I reenlisted on Tuesday the 16th and found out on the 17th that I was being assigned to the same base I was at 3 years ago when I retired. I'm in the same job too. Same office. Same computer systems. And the boss is one of the same guys that used to work there too. So you see, everything has worked out for the best. I trusted and had faith in the Lord and he provided.

It's been a real good week... only one minor setback and that was my fault. I let some stress enter my life and once I did, it invaded my system and blew out of proportion until I was stopped in my tracks by the soothing, loving voice of my soulmate :-) You see... he has promised to help me rule out that nasty, distastful, mind and body disease called STRESS. I call it a disease because it can creep in and wreck havoc into your life unless you take steps to combat it. I've decided that starting tomorrow, it's time to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine to not only help fight stress, but to lose some more weight and to feel more alive. I'll let you know next week if I kept to my word and to tell you about my week :-)
Back.
