So, at work yesterday my boss informed me that I am getting a $1/hr raise. This is pretty cool. He was going on and on about how if my sales per hour are this and this then after three months I will be eligible for a 5% raise blah blah blah.... But all I could think about was my $1 raise. See, I've never gotten a raise before. So this, to me, is big.

Of course, the last time I was paid $10/hour was when I dressed up like a clown at the fireworks stand in high school and waved at people. And, really, there are only a few subtle differences between that job and my current one.......... Booyah, retail.

consistency

Sometimes when I am in my garden with my hands digging in the dirt and my senses taking in the smells and sounds and the annoying little fly on the back of my knee (knee butt, anyone?), I catch a whiff of all the herbs and it calms me down. There is something about a cluster of sprigy thyme leaves that can make a person feel more successful and more accomplished than, well, a lot of other things in this world. Maybe I am the only person who feels that way. But that is ok.

It's just the kind of girl I am. Speaking of this girl (me), I am learning a lot about myself lately. Something about being too busy and trying and doing new things and not being able to do other things... I am learning what I really and truly want/need in my life. And guess what. It's not the most exciting stuff. Is that ok? Is it ok that I don't feel called to make a career out of this job that I am currently blessed to have? Yeah.. yeah, it is.
