Drinking half a bottle of my favorite wine!!

As most of you may know I live in McAllen and work in Harlingen. Many people ask "why so far?". First of all, I really like my job. Thanks-Dr. Milne for the opporunity. It is challenging but exciting to share my knowledge and see my department grow along with myself. I work with 4 great women daily. They are all different in their own way. Soon -I will share more about them. Anyway, working several miles from home gives me time to unwind before I get home to my children. Today, as I was driving home listening to music I thought about several things: my kids, dinner, being single, questions about  love, religion, my conscience "J", hope, and great friends. I have a whole 30 to 35 minutes to reflect on life, my decisions,  and those that impact it. Funny things is I realized that as I drive home I always look straight ahead at all the cars ahead of me. I never really pay attention to my surroundings left or right of me. Today, I did. I was honest with myself and paused for a minute, though it appears I travel 70 mph. I live my life day in and day out but not once do I think about me!! Just ME!! I work 8hr to 10 hr days. I share the remaining  time with my kids,-who I always say have more patience for me than I have for them. They are awesome!!! , chores, and more work (performance measures). And all I give myself is 30 minutes. Is that enough? Just once, I'd like to not think about 'what is for dinner?'. Single-- BIG deal!! I'm an only child-- I know what is like to be alone. I have OCS-"Only Child Syndrome"--for sure. So, it is not my time right now. My soul mate will find me in due time.  Big deal-- LOVE!!--LOVE surrounds me everyday. I have plenty for sure.  Religion-- I need to go to church. It calls me. I need to give more. Forgive me, my God-- I am not perfect. But I do love you. "J" well, a great shoulder when needed. In a very simple innocent way for sure. I wonder if he even knows? Though, he may not say all-(and only he knows what I mean)- we understand each other. Special thanks to all my friends today- Eddie, Estela, Olga, Maria, Steph, Tina, Claudia, Juan S., Maria S. , Minnie Lucio., Liz, Lori, and my neighbor Sergio--for today. It is funny how we conversed today. Though we may have conversed for today only or daily through verbal or TEXT, email even-- you are with me. So, alone I surely am not. You see-in short "ME" is all those that enter in and out of my life. Even you. Yes, "You', as read this you are in my life. Thanks!!
