January Blues

January is not my favorite month. The holiday festivities are over, parties are over, family time is over, good food and goodies are over, now what? January is somewhat dull. Especially when you are in New York without your boy and having no fun with the stomach flu. (My sister did come visit me, which made the month really great, but besides that....dull).

So, yesterday I was walking down the street and there on the curb were three bags of books (this is not uncommon in New York, fun huh?!). So I stopped and thought I would peruse to see what I may find. They were all Social Work books! It was one of those moments where I had a little "wink wink" conversation with God. Sometimes God knows just what we need to be reassured and affirmed that what we are doing with our lives is truly what we have been called to do. And I guess I was in need of one of those reassuring gestures. I'm normally not one to think God is to praise, or to blame, for every minute detail of our lives, like finding a parking space, a really nice shower, good chocolate, etc., but sometimes things are just hard to explain otherwise. I mean, out of all the books I could have found on the street, I walk upon my calling. Wink wink indeed.

So I grabbed me some free books right in time for semester two. Here we go.
