Good News Comes in Twos At Least for Today.

Women on the verge of thinking has some good news for today. First of all, my daughter is coming along well, and will be coming home to stay with us here for awhile within the next few days. It will be so wonderful to get her home here, at least until she is able to recover to be on her own once again. I can hardly wait to have her here, home with us.

Second good news. I am going back to work in the courts. I love being a trial attorney, and this two year hiatus has been good for me, and I have surely grown as a person. My field of specialty is child abuse, and it is an area that I know well, and find rewarding. Although challenging, it is a field where lives can and are affected, and changes can be made. At first, it will start out very part time, maybe one or two days a week, at least for 6 months, and then it will build up to full time more likely than not. With all the medical expenses incurred, (insurance is not 100 percent), we need the money.

That being said, I will not be able to devote that much time to this blog anymore. The new job begins this Tuesday, December 20th. I will post when it is possible, and will read all of your blogs as I can, but if it seems that I am absent more than present, you will all know why.

That being said, I am smiling today. The sun is shining, and I have much for which I thank God, and am truly grateful.

Thank you for your minds.

Thank you all for your kind words, salutations, and good thoughts, which are truly appreciated.

Since I do not have a laptop computer, my time will be limited, and court, although it has 'down time' can get hectic as well.

I will definitely check your blogs.

Great news on both sides!!

But Barbara.. we need "Women on the Verge of thinking" on the blog scene. At least once a week!

Child Abuse huh.. let me confess last year while performing my Jury Duty, and while promising myself to be very open minded, when I walked into court of a Child Abuse case and took a look at the defendant,, I said Guilty right away....... sad I know.. A plea for a lesser charged was agreed upon before the start of the 2nd day.

And regarding your comment on my blog about fear of flying... well going back to one of your post.. Control is also one of your flying issues without a doubt!

Good luck!

Life is VERY Good *S*

I am sure the legal system will benefit from a true advocate with passion rather than a "hired gun"
