Loving What I Do

A couple of nights ago, I had a quick phone call with a friend of ours from the church we used to attend. She and I are Facebook friends and keep up with the general happenings of each others' lives that way, but we paused to see what we actually, currently going on. As I told her of my work right now...the exact blend of writing and speaking I'm doing in this season...she remarked that it sounded like things were going well. That I found joy in what I'm doing.

YES.

This is definitely a sweet season of that. I love working from home and the chance that gives me to do the work of the home during the day while Ryan is at his own work. I can menu-plan pretty thoroughly, do laundry, cook meals, organize piles, and keep up with our schedule more easily because I have time during the day to do so.

I still have time to write and prepare for speaking events, so that by the time Ryan gets home, we can focus on each other and the things we want to do together. I'm grateful for the opportunity.

And a couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to teach my third class at the Marion Public Library. I love this little series of classes they've asked me to teach, and I love the people who have met together to take them.

I have a few pictures to share with you from that day! All three Saturdays have been beautiful drives for me. Nice (hot!) sunny days that have made for easy driving in the weather department. But this last time it seemed all drivers were allergic to basic rules of the road, with the use of turn signals topping the list. I was exhausted by the end of the trip! (My thought captured here. Yes, I'm in park.)

But once I got inside, it was ever so much nicer. This was the workshop in which they were all set free to begin writing in earnest, after a couple of sessions on writing prep.

Throwbacks to the dark hair days!

(Many thanks to my class photographers who are responsible for these photos.)

I am so excited for the fourth class...I think it's going to be the best one yet! And I'm excited to be living in this season, which is so much fun! :)
