First Day.

I had my first day at my new job today. I was anxious and nervous. I woke up super early, got everything ready, and Jim drove me to the train station.

I was able to find a quiet seat to myself - to read and just relax. I arrived downtown about 40 minutes before I was scheduled to start - perfect opportunity to get to work in a leisurely fashion.

Upon arriving there, I was immediately given assignments to do and began working on some difficult cases. (Some that seem to have no real solution). Everyone is very nice, the office is professional, and the phones never seemed to stop ringing.

With a two-mile round trip walk, I'm sure I will get my daily dose of exercise. Surprisingly, it wasn't half bad - I'm an actually downtown employee now!

Most of all, my feelings today were ones of gratefulness. Thankful that God had supplied my needs. Thankful that this firm took a chance on me. And thankful that I finally had something to get up for in the morning!

After work, Jim picked me up and we ate buck twenty-five hamburgers at a small diner near the station. Perhaps this will be our newest ritual.

Thank you Lord, for all of the means that you manage to provide. Thank you for the opportunity to exercise and reflect on who you are. thank you for a husband who is loving enough to pick me up and drop me off at the train station, so I don't have the inconvenience of finding a parking spot. thanks most of all for being you and living up to everything that I have expected. I love you.
