Sometimes I wonder why I keep this blog going.  I will post frequently, then just stop and not write anything down for several weeks.  No reason, just haven't taken the time.  Chris and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary last week.  It is so hard to believe that 26 years have past.  I can remember being a teenager and thinking that anyone married that long had to be really old!  And now I find myself at that point in life.  

Chris seems to be liking his new job better.  At first he found it fairly boring which made for long days.  But, the past couple of weeks he has been enjoying it much better and is having more responsibility and things to do.  He still does not have health insurance, so we both just pray each day that he stays healthy and injure free.  We keep a watch for other jobs that may pop up in the newspaper.  Times are tough and jobs are hard to come by.

Things at church keep me busy.  Being on the worship team, helping with a program we do on Wednesdays that runs for about 6 weeks has kept me busy this past month, then last evening was Trick or Trunk.  Busy, but very fulfilling activities at church.  We are a small, but busy and mighty church!

I do find myself being very down and depressed at times.  I have had well meaning people tell me it's common during "the change" as women like to call it.  I actually wonder if I am suffering from a mild clinical depression.  I have always been a moody person, but lately it is sometimes to the extreme.  One thing that helps is walks and I've tried taking the time for more walks this past month.   I know one thing, this winter my mood light will seriously need to be used to help ward of the winter time blahs.  

Ok..enough rambling.  I'm actually waiting for some bread dough to rise.  The cooler weather means homemade bread.  Can't wait to smell it baking in the oven.
