My Niche

Do you know how you have to work through your life to build you a niche? Like finding a small custom made segment where you belong?

I am always narrowly defining my self each day to where I fall in this life. Crazily sometimes.

You have to make judgments on basic stuff like your life (family, genetics, etc.), your home (habitat) and your 'place in the food chain' Ha! We each have our niche. We have environmental conditions that also describe our fundamental niche.

Evidently, through interactions, emotions, upbringing as people we get to narrow down and adapt out Niche. (Money, jobs, belief systems, spouses, friendships, work relations, etc. all help to fine tune our place.)

Now here is something interesting. I can have a different niche at one place, and a different niche at another. For example, to my grand-children, I am a loved, looked up to, thought of the gift bearing, crazy, wonderful Mimi!; At work, I am a cubby-holed, wacky, hard working, dependable, "one of those girls in payroll"; At church, maybe I'm still just pictured as the little girl that grew up at church who married her high school sweetheart, who loves the singing; With my friends, they see a different MC.

Oop, don't forget God, Super-Niche, He sees all the Niches, here is my Spiritual Niche. Yep, it is never up to par as far as my prayer life. God knows the real blended M.C. - all the mini-Niches - into the megla- Niche. Here is where all the semi-niches are pulling and pushing at me all day long. I have to juggle these to find sanity in my day to day life and my ..... Gulp ..... eternal walk with God. Whoa heavy.

Overtime!

Well, if anybody is still checking my blog, I've been putting in a lot extra hours at work. We have actually worked some Saturdays! Yuck!! I have missed getting on-line and posting little tidbits about our comings and goings. This year has flown by.

Just to let you know that my family is well. My knee surgery went pretty well, although I'm still gimping around more than I wanted to be gimping. Arthritis is sometimes my enemy too.
Frank and Frank are working together now and all seems well.

Hey, a Big Shout Out to a certain somebody that turned 50 on Oct. 3rd. She had to leave Texas to endure this hardship! HA!

My evenings now consist of dragging home about 6-6:30-7:00 and dropping into a recliner and staring listlessly at the new fall lineup on the tube. Frankie Boy has been providing us with dinner and he is the BEST.

Smiles and Kisses to anybody who checks in !
