Gracious

I work at an amazing place. Everyday, when I come to work, I am surprised by the kindness and sincerity shown by my coworkers. Whether it's just saying hi or buying a platter of Barista's pastries and two things of coffee (yum!!), these people are impacting my life. They are helping me understand how to give unconditional love and respect to the elderly, how to laugh and be curious about each other's stories, and how to realize that money isn't everything in life - it's ok to spend on other people!

you know.

Another funeral. Another goodbye. It's so hard to come to terms with never being able to see a loved one again in this life. It's so hard to see the effects of death on family, people I love. Tears fell. Lips quivered. 21 shots. Taps. We mourn and grieve - each in his own way. Then we comfort and hold one another. Whether it's holding someone's hand, slipping them a tissue or buying them a drink, family is there for one another. We help how we see fit. We love. And we survive.

Happy Life

Is it weird that I just love, love, love being by myself somedays? Jordan is on a "brotime" trip today, and even though I love spending time with him, I have been looking forward to today for a week! It's a great feeling to be able to deep clean without having to clean around someone, rearrange furniture, do laundry.... Wow, I'm a cleaning nerd :S
Anyway, life has been going smoothly. I love my new job, and Jordan's job is going good as well. He still is nerveous about messing up a project (considering some of that shop's projects are $30,000 projects, I would be nervous too!!) but he has been doing great so far!
Hmmmmm. Not much else has been happening! Just day-to-day life. But it's good and we're happy. Short and sweet post for today :)
