Christmas cards and greetings!

I have big news. I resigned from my job today. I had really prayed last night for the Lord to give me direction and it was crystal clear. I may already have another job lined up to start in January.
They gave me two weeks pay without working; pretty sweet! Considering I need a rest and to literally catch my breath....

Let's just say I am so grateful, I HATED that job! I am a nurse. Now I know that sales is not for me. My gift is mercy, not money.

This means I have time to bake, write, and I feel better already!

Our family has decided to give a gift to honor Jesus this year and we are all praying about what it should be. Please go see Coffee Beans post today!

I would love to send each one of you on my blog roll a Christmas greeting. If you would like to receive it send me your address; kdmcgivney@bellsouth.net

Tomorrow I am cooking for a party and will post the fixins.

What a beautiful thought, to send out something to all on your blogroll.

Good luck with your new, not working life.

If you feel a relief from resigning, then it was meant to be. There's nothing worse than a job you hate. And for sure sales is very different--in fact almost the opposite--of nursing/caring for others. Take this time and enjoy the season.

Speaking of which,I've got to go do some outdoor decorating now.

Congrats!! You know it was probably the stress of going to a job you didn't enjoy that made you stay sick for so long. I'm glad things are turning around for you and what a great time to take a break.
