~update!~

~~~~Hi Friends & Folk~~~~

well, no pictures for this post, but the job interview went well
(i thought , anyway ~ lol)

I talked my heart out, was true to myself and put on no airs...
I talked about my family, my animals, my love of creating ~ I was asked to describe myself and found myself saying things like:
"comfortable in my own skin"
"creative"
"AFFABLE"
(I think that means to have a good sense of humor and can laugh at one-self)...

without being glib, I tried to convey that as I am pushing the upside of 50 yrs old,
I am still {in MY mind} young, capable, confident ~
(more now that I was in my younger days)
...and grounded. VERY CENTERED & Grounded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

oh I talk too much ~ me thinks...

BUT

that's ME.

I am simple folk, like you,....
I love family, friends & my faith...I am a HOMEBODY.
i trust in my insitincts as a woman, and fly by the seat-of-my-pants...

I love a bargain, (Goodwill here i come!)
I treat others as i would like to be treated
and give praise & recognition where i think it is due...

I am in the throes of menopause,
..am over-weight (and trying to be healthier)...
I make vows to myself to be more productive ~
nicer, friendlier and more helpful
{{IF my hormones let me, if not, WATCH OUT!!}}

SO,
here i am...

take me or leave me...

either way,

I know I am still loved by those that matter to me~
liked by my true-friends
and can genuinely put my head on my pillow at night and sleep...
{ok, till a hot-flash wakes me up}
so
ALL IS GOOd!


I hope to not bore you with all of this..

I truly believe we have some say in our destinies...
We are are all handed a Brand-New day, everyday~
and what we make of it it up to us...


I want to make it good,
& I know you do too.

So,

tomorrow morning,

when you're still in bed & just waking up ~
while you're stretching PLEASE remember these words:
Calm
Easy
Love
Peace
Home
Connect
FAMILY
Do
Finish
BE....

just be....

those are the words that help me everyday...
I hope they help you too....


blessings from the farm,
Lori

Oh dear Lori - am late visiting blogs today and just read of your interview in your prior post - sorry I wasn't able to wish you luck. But it sounds like it went well - don't know how it couldn't - you definitely come across as a people person, and that should be a priority in that profession. I do wish you the best of luck in your path - I assume that it would mean less time to design and create - which is a loss for all of us; but truly understand the practical need...family always has to be first and foremost. Loved your photos in the last post - your Hannah is so strikingly beautiful...And, yeah - I'd say you did a mighty fine job. Wishing you the best....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

...I can't imagine you being anything else but fantastic no matter what you are doing! I'm certain the employer is weighing heavily in your favor and that you'll be receiving a call. I can't imagine you working outside of your farmstead but we womenfolk do what we have to do, don't we? We always have. :o)

...Your daughter is lovely and you aced the world's hardest profession which is being a parent. I tip my hat to you Lori! You did a fine job.

...Thank you for the inspiring words. They are the perfect thing to say first thing in the morning besides a lil' prayer I say everyday which is, "God please bless me today. Amen." :o)

...I'm sending lots o' positive energy your way that you'll get the job! Keep us posted! :o)

...Blessings
