Past the shock.

With the days finally turning warm – hot even with temperatures in the eighties! – even our oak trees which had gone into utter shock, are beginning to reach again and to grow and each day some more green peaks and then pushes out. Still far behind of its usual growth, nature is rekindling and gaining strength each day.

Not sure on the other hand if I myself have yet come out of shock – the shock of going some place else to work versus working on my own. Of course, I have not only the new job with all its adjustments and learning but am also in the last sprint for my art class semester work next to giving some counseling to Jim – yes, swamped and very busy. This will carry on until the end of this month, but once my dad leaves from a one week visit, I should be getting to a more “normal” schedule and should then be able to get my life aligned to the new circumstances.
