What they say.......

It is said that all good things must come to an end. I believe ALL things, good, bad and sitting on the fence will come to an end! Today was the last day I was open for business at the video retail store I managed. I really loved that job. Today I had customers come in to thank me, say good bye and show general concern for my well being. I had several that called me and wished me well. I had friends come in just to hang out with me. I did let everyone know that I was staying optimistic and how much it meant to me that they came in or called. In truth I was overwhelmed with the well wishes and the love that poured out to me today. Instead of being a day of sadness and regret for what has happened to our video store I felt as though I received a blessing. I have always wanted to live in a small community where everyone knows each other and cares about each other. I felt that possibly this was that kind of place when I moved here almost 11 years ago. After today I feel as though I truly belong here!

I am going on vacation and am going to take my computer and when I can I will upload pictures and tell you about the places I am going. I will be leaving from Harrison AR going to WA state and back. There is a lot of our country between here and there! I am really excited to spend time with my parents. I will get to see family and have a nice leisurely trip across county with people I love. Of course I will miss my family here but I will return! (that is a promise and not a threat!)

Thank-you for making me feel like I am home and making me want to stay! Thank-you for making this a great day instead of a sorrowful one. I have a great community to belong to!

This blog will be a changing....

I know that I have not been on here for a while. I had so much going on and I really do throw myself into work, almost literally at times. (Ask Crystal about how I fly, on my face)I really had made my job a huge part of my life. We all know that at times our jobs are tedious and that there are things we have to do, don't want to do but do anyway. I loved my job in general. I though I had found my niche. It is now gone. They have decided to close my store. In about 4 week I will no longer be employed. Wow, it is incredible. I never thought that I would mourn the end of anything like I did this.

This means the movie reviews will not be often at all. I will not be watching as many and well, I have to drive to another town now to rent.

There us a silver lining. Always is for me. I can't keep my optimistic side from popping out. I will find a new niche, another place that I can carve out a living for myself and make a living. I know that there is more out there. I had thought for a while now that I needed to find something where I was not on my feet for so many hours at a time and now is a good time to do it. If another opportunity does not pop out at me as they always have seemed to in the past, I will spend more time on here until I find something.

I have had an addition to the family since I wrote last. My little Snorkie friend gave birth to a little Buster! He is adorable and has won a place in our hearts.

In June I will go on vacation with my folks and will blog when I can. We are driving to Washington State. It will be fun and I will share it with you all!

Until later folks this is all I have in me. I have been reading and will tell you about that. I have watched a few movies and will review them as well.
