tomorrow will be longer....

Today is the shortest day of the year, tomorrow, the days will begin to lengthen.. and it's surprising how that one or two minutes of extra light will quickly make a difference...And on this shortest day of the year, I have had some news. On a "whim" a month or so back, I put in for a part time position at our local post office. I saw the "ad" in the lobby and it's only for 10-20 hours a week. I have always had "part time" jobs in my life, they- along with the dog training - have been a great help every so often in the financial part of this family, and I like "doing my part".. anywho, since the post office is three houses away from the farm (I can SO easily walk to work!!!) and I thought it would be a fun way to get to know the town folks and be a "face" in the community... I applied. The interview was the week before last, and last week I had to go for a "drug test" (welcome to the real world I guess) and today... I got the note that I will need to "report for training" on January 4th..... all of sudden I'm a bit nervous.. there's a lot to learn with the post office and I just hope my brain can take it all in.... time will tell I guess!!! so, something new again in my life, seems like I have had a lot of "new" in the past couple of years but the Good Lord has given me just so much time here on the earth and I want to take advantage of it all, and live my life to the fullest... including trying new things!!!!
