Sometimes in life you have to do something you don't exactly want to do. I needed to go to work last September to help get some bills paid. So, I tried to get a job at the Y, but they weren't hiring for the position I wanted. Instead, as most of you know, I started cleaning houses. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. :)
I work for 3 of the best women ever! Jean Pace is a great lady who is unbelievably talented!!! She inspired me to try crocheting with thread. While I was laid up after hurting my back I got a whole doily done!!! I have really come to love Jean. It is so true that you learn to love the ones you serve.
Then, there is Sylvia. She's been a friend of mine for years, but I never made time to hang out with her on a regular basis. Now, we exercise together every week and sometimes I work a little! She is so wise and an absolute BLAST to be around!!!
Last, is Linda. We talk about life, kids, money, etc. I love to clean her house. It stays so clean. There aren't any little kids messing up everything I do!!!
I had no idea when I started working again that I would end up with so many blessings. These three women make me feel wonderful. The additional money has helped with our bills, but even better has been my time with three people I love. Heavenly Father is so wise.

What wonderful blessings come our way when we are doing our best! You are a wonderful person and friend and you deserve the best!!! Thanks for reminding me to look for all of the blessings in my life.
It's amazing how much you can learn from others, and how much they can bless your life, and how much they can inspire and uplift. It's wonderful to have great people around us. - it's great to see you, even if it's Sunday's when our kids are being crazy.
Sounds like you're pretty wise, yourself. :-)
It is so amazing how much you come to love those you serve. Where or not you get paid to do it.
I am glad you found something that works for you and your family.
I am sorry to hear about your back. I had no clue. Hope it is feeling better!
