Blessings

I love my blog. I really, really do. Why? Mainly because it is all mine and I can (within reason...and maybe sometimes not within reason) write and post whatever I want on it. I was a little bored tonight- as Jackson is still out of town- so I read back through a few entries I had made on the Petefish Post recently. I loved them. It is insane how quickly we forget all that has been going on in our lives. I really enjoyed looking back on our game plan for the move to Boston and comparing it to how things really went. Remarkably, nearly everything went EXACTLY as planned. One cannot ask for much better than that unless that plan included hitting the lottery! :) I still pinch myself sometimes because things just came together so very nicely for us here in Boston.

Anyway, I feel like the blog is a good reflection tool for me. I get to see the good, the bad, the cute (Alex, MacKenzie, etc.) and the not so cute (my Becker CPA review books). A lot of people ask me how I find the time to keep up on the blog. It is not always easy. Occasionally if I get behind a few days then catching up feels like a chore, but it is so worth it. I really think that I will keep a blog/journal for as long as I live. I really encourage all of you to do the same. You do not have to keep a very public journal like I do, but writing things down is so helpful.

The times that I notice God's work in my life the most is when I reflect back on past worries or concerns and see how He handled them for me. I am truly amazed by God's grace and love for each one of us. I think sometimes we need a gentle reminder of all that He does. Tonight, my blog did that for me and it made me happy.

Tomorrow is a big day for me at work as I will be introduced to new clients, new teams and new assignments. I got kind of a lucky break at work and get to be in an even more exciting role than I had anticipated. I am pretty nervous, though, as I am still new and fresh out of graduate school. I feel like I am going to be running to keep up with my new colleagues who are much older, wiser and smarter than myself. I'd appreciate any kind thoughts and prayers you could send my way throughout the day tomorrow- thanks!
