Day by Day

It's been hard,

the days of just job searching.

But every day this week, even if it was unexpected the day of,

I have had something to do, someone to see or someone

to come over.

I and some friends are going to read

St. John of the Ladder's

ladder of divine ascent

this summer for which I am glad.

I am praying that the reading can be spiritually

profitable to all of us.

I am focusing on library job search activities this week

but am already trying to start thinking of

other places I can apply for work.

I need to be proactive and start knocking on many doors.

The time is now.

I have such a hard time balancing this part.

I was blessed with an unexpected happening

yesterday:

free tickets to the hear the

Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra

and the Violin Soloist is very accomplished

and was playing a "Marsick" Stradivarius of 1715!

Wow.

I never knew I would hear one played live.

The playing and the high notes

were very well done,

I had never heard it done so well before.

A close friend and I were able to go,

and it was really special.

Lesson of this week is God's mercy and provision

of unexpected blessing,

fully undeserved.
