How is it possible that my children are getting older and I am still the same age I have always been? Well, not "have always been", but I don't feel older than I did when I was in my thirties... and forties maybe.
Our youngest is now (finally) out of her teens!! Yeah!! The black years are behind us finally and we are all ready to move on to the next stage. It is a joy to see Carly progress and discover who she really is and who she wants to become. Which is a Wildlife Biologist or something like that.
Carly is going to college up at Central Oregon Community College and is also working parttime at the same office where I work. She is doing AWESOME and really seems to be enjoying the student life. It is taking her awhile to realize that she is smart and is capable of learning and retaining what she has learned. Her grades are reflecting her hard work. In time she will have a strong belief in herself and then the sky will be the limit.
Her Dad and I are very proud of her!!!!!
And so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARLY!!! You cutie putie.

Monday Morning Blues
Yep, it's Monday morning and I am where I am every Monday morning....at work sitting in front of my computer. In a way it is a comfort coming into work every day, it is almost a home away from home. But not quite...
Working at a job that you like and are comfortable with is a good thing, however, I am at a point in my life where I need a creative output. And so besides practicing my Reiki I have ventured out and started creating wire jewelry. It is something that doesn't take up too much space and I can do it when I have a little time to myself (when I "make" time for myself). Perhaps one day when I feel like I am good at it, I want to venture out a little further and sell my jewelry pieces.
I have added a few pictures of my first creations. I will look back on these pieces a few months from now and see all of my mistakes and/or things I would have differently. That's a good thing, because it is hard to critque your own stuff.
So if anyone is reading my blog, please leave me your comments, letting my know what you really think about my jewelry making skills.
