Feeling Blessed I am feeling very blessed today for three reasons.  First, I really enjoyed Sam’s birthday.  While Sam was working hard in school, I got to go to the Thursday morning “As Bill Sees It” meeting.  Before the meeting I even got to amuse some of my A.A. buddies with harrowing stories of Sam’s birth.  At Sam’s request, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.  Then we all went to the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on our town green. There were Christmas carols and coco and Santa.    Before you ask, yes I do live a Norman Rockwell painting.  

Second, on the job front, things seem to be really looking up.  After 3-4 years of a lack luster job market in my field, the market seems to be exploding.  Yesterday, I got E-mailed about a potential second interview (a job I interviewed for the week before Thanksgiving) and I have a first round interview for another position on Monday.  That’s right I got skills and (for the time being) they are in demand (fingers crossed).  God is definitely moving and I try to stay humble and keep praying for his will.

The third reason that I feel really blessed is that we had an over $200 decrease in our monthly mortgage payment this month.  It is long and uninteresting story about a tax levy that came due after we bought our house but, before the end of the year last year.  The tax it turns out was temporary but, the reduction is permanent.  Well permanent that is until the powers that be come up with another tax but, I will take it and be grateful.
