The end of April

In two days, April, 2011, will be over. When I updated this blog last month, I was wanting to make a stronger commitment to regular writing. That has not come to pass. Instead, my days have been busy with work and family, struggling to figure out how to do the same things with continued enthusiasm. I am content most days, but there are parts of almost everyday that encompass some sort of struggle. Here are the big highlights of the past month, not one of which is really mine to own, but each highlight is listed because it is an accomplishment of someone that I care about. My daughter and son-in-law have moved out of my home and are moving into their own apartment. This was not really an easy decision for any of us, and it is now feeling more comfortable than it felt a few weeks ago. Moving out. My friend and her husband will be moving to Azerbaijan, where she will become a Country Director for Peace Corps. Moving up. My grandmother is now safely back in NY, and doing phenomenally well once again, at 93, after another health scare in Mississippi. Moving on. My days are busy with work and worry, friends and fun. Just keepin' on, keepin' on. Short and sweet, and I'll try to get back to you all sooner. xoxo, Jami
