So far, this year has the potential to be the most important year in decades. Not just for this country and world, but on a far smaller scale, personally. With my cancer in remission, Joe and I are set to begin a whole new chapter in our lives together. We have both put in our notices at work and have started the process of moving. So this will be my last entry for this blog. I will start a new blog about the next chapter soon. There are so many awesome things in the works, but I won’t say until they are about to happen. Can’t give certain people too much information…they know who they are. Peace to you for reading. **I had a lot more written, but in my proofing, I decided it sounded too whiny. And there is no point in it. Good thoughts and prayers!!!

I've been in this "entry level" position for the past 11 1/2 years, watching as others have moved up and I feel like I am spinning my wheels. ...
Just ate an orange. Yum! In fact, I brought an orange, an apple and a banana to enjoy during the 9 hour work day. I don't go to lunch, just snack when no one is around. It can be difficult because where I work there is an upscale restaurant, a huge kitchen and function rooms so the smell of food lingers all day. Some days I feel sick to my stomach hungry and it effects my habit of ordering out. I used to take a lunch break and my place for work offers employees one free meal a shift. But the food is rich and decadent. My first year here I gained 50 pounds! Then when I started juicing, it was a challenge to be smelling all this food and to sip a spinach juice. I just gave up and stayed behind my desk and endured. The aromas still reach my lobby desk and some days all I want to do is walk out. The temptation to over indulge when I got home is extreme. Among my many tasks and besides answering the phones, I make and update the menus, dining feature sheets and special food labels f...
