I thought I’d try to find a job in this area and stay for a while. I sent out my resume to the Human Resource Association in Southern NJ and this morning, I applied to the local hospital for an accounting position. Just as I sent it off the application, the phone rang and it was one of my HR friends. He has a position open that is much like what I did with Ted. I am meeting with him tomorrow morning to see if we can work it out.
I feel very confident about it. I feel at last that I have some direction. I have felt so lost for so long. I don’t think I was ready to sell my house. I don’t think the time is right yet. I can spend weekends with my family if I want to.
I feel I can get back to doing the things I did before such as going to Toastmasters, HR meeting and Nature Club. I have a picnic on Sunday at Erica’s with the BNI group and Danny is invited.
I have to get ready for Choir practice. Then I will walk Danny and start reading the new book I got at the library. I finished “The Last Kingdom” today. I will be starting part two tonight.

Dear Karol, I think that this is the correct decision. I am very glad that you are waiting to sell the house. Getting it fixed up to sell was the best thing to do. It gave you a purpose while you got used to Ted being gone. You have a wonderful support network in New Jersey and it is so close to your family in Pennsylvania. It's really the best of both worlds. Getting back to work and on a regular schedule will also help you deal with your lost. I also agree you should go back to a grief support group. You are more ready for it now. In the books I have read they say you should wait six months before going to one. This isn't a good time to sell a house. As long as you know your neighbors and feel safe you are better off with what you know and have lived with for so many years. You know all the things that need to be done in the house. You don't need to buy something and find out to late that you made a mistake. Now that you have put the door on the bedrooms and fixed some of the most glaring problems you will be able to enjoy the house. It really has a lot of charm. This is where Ted felt most comfortable. This is where you spent 25 years of your life. Your roots are there in New Jersey now. I am glad that you are staying for awhile longer. I of course keep you in my prayers and wish only for your happiness and continued good health. You have come such a long way and you are much stronger and competent then you realize. Trust that you are going where God need you to be at this thime in your life. As always love and affection. Cheryl G.

I leave in a few hours for Louisiana and will take the laptop. SHould I be able to get on (not certain in campground has WIFI) I will be checking on how you made out today. Regardless, I expect great news when I return on the 9th!

Great news about the job. Hopefully you will get it. You have all the time in the world to move and you really shouldn't make any changes for a year.
You are doing the right thing in fixing different things with the house.
That way, if and when the times comes, you'll be ready.

I agree with the others. You should take your time in selling the house - right now the market is off. I hope you get this job too! There is enough things in you life to keep you busy here in NJ.
Take care of yourself
Love in friendship
