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!!!!

You can do it. Just another challenge to face and overcome. Have fun, too. We are never to old to learn something new.
Good Luck on your new adventure
How exciting! I've always contemplated getting a job as a mail carrier, because it's one of the few jobs one can have that guarantees you will get your exercise in during the day. I don't know if you'll be working the desk, the warehouse, or delivering, but really all those positions get a decent amount of exercise. Also, having the post office that close is a real bonus.
Congrats!!!
Congratulations of the new job! I too am one to be a bit nervous when I get out of my comfort zone but do love to learn new things. You will really get to know everyone in your community this way and that will be fun!
My e-mail addy is thediz@roadrunner.com
I'll look to see if yours is anywhere on your site, if not send it to me and I'll send you my cell phone number. If you are working at least we can gab on the phone for a few minutes!! We will be down the 4th and the operation is the 5th.
