wee little update

I have been home from LeadTime for 33 days, and I think it is just starting to sink in. It's incredible to me how fast time can fly! It seems like just yesterday since I first came across the Shelterwood website...and that was two years ago!

When I first got home, I took a week and tried to settle in. I could have gone back to work right away but on the advice of my incredible boss, I waited. I tried to rest. I couldnt. I guess its hard to immediately switch over from insane long hours to a more normal lifestyle! It was an incredibly productive week though. I spent two days putting all my things into one storage place (they had been stored in two different places), and at the same time I went through everything to get rid of junk that I did not need. It was fun because I forgot about a lot of really nice things I own and it sort of felt like Christmas. It was also good for a laugh because I kept some pretty ridiculous things lol.....it felt good to to de-clutter and get rid of stuff.....I felt it reflected in a lot of ways partly what LeadTime had been for me....throwing out a bunch of junk I was holding onto!

Today I am at work, and there is not one single resident here. It is soo quiet but so nice!! Since I started back we have been really busy. I think that has been a blessing in disguise for me because it has eased the transition a bit. But today I spend the day with me and my Lord. I have some books, my journal and a goal of organizing my thoughts. According to a "Strengths Finder" test we did at LT once, my #1 strength is "Intellection" which basically means I am a thinker and to spend a day with my thoughts is going to be glorious!! lol...it can also be my biggest weakness though!
