I’m finding that having a job, a few regular weeknight events, and varying weekend stuff makes for a much happier lifestyle. It makes things like where I live significantly less important.

I’m really enjoying my current temp job, and I enjoy the people there (and I’m really looking forward to a paycheck showing two weeks of full-time work!!). And then I have my shiur to look forward to one night a week, and my nephews’ soccer games on Thursday nights – GO TEAM! We’ve won the first two games of the season. Keep up the winning streak!

I have a bunch of other things I’m excited about – Fall for Dance and Project Sunshine events are both scheduled in the next month. In2Books should be starting any day now! And today I started something new; I read this article and decided to write a letter to a soldier. I found the AnySoldier.com website and went through that. I gave a lot of thought before deciding to go ahead with it… I had to decide how comfortable I was with writing a letter to a stranger and including contact info. But I decided to go for it, and I can’t wait to send my letter. I have most of it drafted, but I’m going to see if I can arrange a donation of one or two things they need, and send a package along with the letter. I know I don’t have the money to send much of a care package, but if I can get some things donated, then great. And if not…. then they’ll still get my letters.

I’ve also got a few projects to work on when I make time…. but I’m saving them til they are ready to be shown.

It makes for strong second winds and a quick fall to sleep at night. It’s great
