We have another visitor with us this week. It is a pleasure for my family when we can have certain extended family members visit us on our journey. Joan is here with us this week; Catherine's mom. They went on a skipjack yesterday. She is an interesting woman. I think she was probably quite the risk taker when she was younger. I see where my wife gets her free spirit.
We are not sure yet where we are going next. It may be to Virginia again. I called the place I worked at before and they may be interested in me coming for a short term stay; maybe 13 weeks. We want to go someplace on this coast as we are definitely going to Florida again this winter. Plan your vacations now! Let us know when you want to visit. I sort of wish we were going right to Florida from here because the golf would be soooo cheap! Then we could just not play during peak season. I don't care if it's hot. It would be kind of nice to be at the same place from september to may. Or would it? I'm not sure. Well, the one thing we know is that we don't know where we are going. We're getting used to that.
It has been at times difficult to be here in Maryland. I think it's because we are such Bostonians deep down and don't know how to slow down. A part of me really likes the slower pace. I want the slower pace. Another part just keeps saying hurry up! I believe the Lord is doing some good things for my children here. Grace in particular has been really challenged. It's a few months of solace for her. She has met it like a mature person, and I am grateful she can speak to us about the struggles she is having. She is truly a blessing to our whole family. I personally think she's wicked smahht! I ask God to help me listen to her wisdom. I also ask for God to give me patience in dealing with a young adult who thinks she knows everything!! I guess it's true; it's hard to be humble when you're so awesome. This is the case with Grace. She is being run through the fire here in MD. Forced to sit with herself. I hope she comes to the same conclusions that her mother and I have; that she is a wonderful young adult entering gracefully into womanhood. I just hope she has the humilty to see it. WEll I gotta go now. I am tired. It's 4:15 in the morning . Nightshift can get very slow. All my patients are doing well but I must go check on them now.
