My work schedule is for 4 1/2 days a week. Four 9 hour days and a half day. It’s a great schedule. I have a wonderful job. Not high paying, but I like it, great benefits, the kind of coworkers that will be friends for life, and only 5 miles from home.
That being said, I still look forward to my days off. And RETIREMENT. I am a home body. Nothing makes me happier than being on the farm with the critters, except being with my family, on the farm. (Grandkids are GREAT!)
Weekends off with my husband are great. He makes me smile. We work harder on most Saturdays around the farm than we do at work. I love the feeling of accomplishment when we complete a farm, house or yard project. Sundays, sometimes we rest. Some weekends the grandkids sleep over.
But here is just something about a week day off, home alone, work on craft projects, clean house, work in the yard, morning walk and checking cows, whatever…..All Alone….
Today is one of those Home Alone week days off. I am spending my morning enjoying. Catching up on this blog, which has been neglected for a year! Took the dogs for a walk, checked the cattle, got some wonderful photos. Later I plan to start work on some Christmas presents for the granddaughters.
It’s been a morning of reflection for me. Thinking about what a wonderful life I’ve had. Fantastic childhood. Blessed to be married to the best guy I could ever hope for, handsome, hard working, maker of dreams come true. The most awesome grandkids, and two children who have grown in to hard working, creative adults, just good people!
God truly has Blessed me.
Yes, life has thrown some curve ball in, but I am not thinking about those this Glorious September day.
