A Dorm for Geezers

We've been in independent living for nearly two weeks now and it's still going surprisingly well.

I lived in on campus housing during my freshman year when I was in college. As it turned out, I had a roommate with whom I was compatible. And, I loved it.

I'm beginning to think of life here, in an independent living apartment, as life in a dorm for old people and I'm...we're...enjoying it.

It's still early days, of course, but we're settling in nicely.

This past week is actually the week we had originally planned to move in and I'd scheduled vacation. All of the moving in was done and Evie and some friends had done a lot of the work of unpacking by the time my week off began, so it was a fairly easy week for me.

I go back to work tomorrow and, while my job's okay and I love the people I work with, it's going to be hard.

And, I'm reminding myself that my job is my ministry. I am an ambassador of the Kingdom of God, and that gives me some focus but, I'd really like to spend some time hanging out in the dorm, just taking it easy.

I still have to work full-time for about a half year and I will because I have to. But, after that? Right now?, I don't know.

This is nice.
