To Study

I know it has been a long time since I have written and posted anything on my blog. No, my computer did not break down, and no my fingers have not all been broken. So, my reason for not writing has been...

To Study

1: [Noun] Literally, a setting of the mind or thoughts upon a subject; hence, application of mind of books, to arts or science, or to any subject, for the purpose of learning what is not before known.

Over the past two months I had been studying different subjects (specifically Mathematics) in order to take the GED test. This was a step I needed to take in order to then apply for college (another story, at another time). On December 3rd I went to the adult learning center and took my GED test and...I now have my certificate in my room! 

I am realizing a little more each day that Learning is not always quick and easy, 

but it is so good for me and the more I try it, the more I love it. 

I am very pleased to say that I will be posting, and writing again on here, and 

I hope in the New Year  you will enjoy the stories and pictures that will appear!

Sincerely,

Libby

Work

This mornng I got up, while the sun was just poking its head up, to get ready for work.

Can I confess something? I'm thankful for work. I'm thankful I have a job.

Maybe it was the way I was raised or the area I grew up in, but work

was never looked on as a bad thing. Instead it was something you knew

you just did. You were supposed to do it well; work hard and turn the lights off

if you were the last one to leave.

I'm thankful, even though I am only a towering 5'2 and have trouble with tall shelves, that I am healthy enough to wake up on a Monday morning and go to work.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."
