Wednesday's Wisdom

Okay,   I have a little time on my hands waiting for patients to be seen so we can scrub and enter the charges for month end -- fiscal year end.   I do have a job, and certainly a job I like. 

I will be moving to Chapel Hill the end of July into a "mother's house".   Really, really downsizing!   One bedroom, big bathroom, kitchen and living room.  $300 less a month than what I am paying now, no utilities.  Yes that is right, no utilities -- except land line phone because a cell will not work in the house -- I can go outside to talk.   No deposit, no lease. 
I hope my furniture makes the move okay.  My entertainment center is way gone beyond another move.  But I still have the big old TV with the huge back and you just cannot find an entertainment center for those anymore --- well, one that I can afford anyway.  But they really are hard to find also. 
I have lived in Williamson County all my life until July 31 --- watch out Marshall County.   I will be much closer to Emily --- but she is always so busy  -- but we will both know each other is close by. 
I also looked at a little house in College Grove  --2br 1ba, completely remodeled.   The bathroom was extremely small and NO storage.  It was only $100 less plus utilities. 

I am looking forward to this new adventure and can't wait to save some money to travel!!!!
NYC, Chicago, Vegas, Charleston, Savannah --- oh the places I could go.  

Until next time----- do you think things happen for a reason?

Friday's random thoughts

I have been looking at different apts/houses to rent -- not fun.   Do I go to Chapel Hill and have a longer drive which is okay except when I am working the second job and do not leave until 10:00?  Do I go to Spring Hill ---$75 less per month rent, little longer drive.  Can I really live in an apartment with someone lving above me????  Yes, I would want a ground level ---1) bad back and kness aren't getting any younger and 17 steps in my townhouse is a bit much when you are tired and aching; but 2) what about security with ground level.  I am not running from my financial problems just trying to finacially think things through.   How do you get the money for deposit, moving electricity, etc?   Think Gayle think.   More importantly PRAY.  When I can finally turn it all over I know the answer will come. 

Until next time. . . . . . . Somewhere I read that for every single thing that goes wrong in our lives, we have fifty to one hundred blessings.  What we need to do is learn to identify those blessings and spend more time counting---and being thankful for them.
