Life Lessons...

These last few weeks have truly been messages from God. What those messages are, I'm not quite sure. I'm pretty sure that it's something along the lines of, "Jim, get your shit in order, you've got work to do" or something like that. Being God there's probably a few more thee's and thous's in there somewhere.

It started a couple of weeks ago when one of my accountants, out of the blue, turned in her 2 week notice. I was instantly going into coping mode...planning and planning. I made plans, arranged a transition, reorganized a department, created a new job posting and got it posted. It was alot of something I really had not started out thinking I would have to deal with around the holiday. But I dealt with it.

This week, my Father suffered a stroke. He's making progress each day, but it's forced me to assess my priorities. To rearrange, shuffle and make plans to take care of my mom and my dad. As the oldest son I feel it's my duty to take care of this and I'm happy do what needs to be done. With Bill and Julie we'll get this all taken care of. Sure does cause you to look at life differently, though. I'm not even close to done processing all of this yet. There's going to be a lot of work ahead of us, but we'll do what we need to do.

God throws it in there. I deal, I grow. Happens to everyone.


Oh yeah.....Julie's pregnant, found out this morning....

Enough lessons God, I'm getting the point. Really. :'D
