You know that old saying "If life gives you lemons then make lemonade"? Well I say, If life gives you lemons blow them to bits because who wants to be a sour puss anyway.

Things haven't been easy for me lately and sometimes I just want to sit down and cry but with tears comes snot so why bother.  I no longer have my apartment in Tomahawk and while I am looking for another place I had to swallow my pride and ask the Community Center in Merrill to help me.

There first option was the shelter in either Wausau or Rhinelander but since I have trust issues anyway I asked for shelter over the weekend and hopefully I will hear back from my prospective landlord sometime Monday morning.

I am a very private person but through this situation I have learned to share what I am going through and my heart is overflowing with the offer from a very dear friend. He actually brought tears to my eyes with his offer for help and for that I truly thank you.

Now as an IT student I use the computer alot but do you think I can find a place in the Merrill area who will do a front end alignment on my Ford Explorer?  The one place that was in the Yellow Pages is booked until the end of the year so I am now looking in the Wausau area. 

I miss living in Tomahawk and I especially miss my roommate because I use to bounce ideas and my frustrations off of him.  It is true that you never know what you have until it is gone and so that is Life in the Northwoods.

A beautiful day by all standards.  Last night it was about 48 degrees and today should be no more than 76 degrees.   Woke up to the beauty of Creation and enjoyed a cup of coffee while watering my tomatoes.
Is this a normal day? Not at all but as I transition into the month of August I am making changes in my life that should have been made about two months ago.
I know longer get upset or irritated over thing I can't control.  That was a big issue with me but I have learned that life is way too short to sweat the small stuff.
Back to school in about 4 weeks so have all my "back to school" shopping done and may be making changes to my class schedule to accomodate work schedule.  After getting divorced and leaving a lucritive position in the big city, I have learned to re-evaluate almost everything I do and am much happier with life because of it.
The morale of today's posting? 
Take the time to enjoy the beauty of creation around you and love your life just as it is.  You can't change a thing and your footsteps are already ordered by  the Lord! Enjoy the ride and enjoy your day!
