When I had my surgery in May, Trip bought me a subscription to all the Cubs regular season games so i could watch them. We have reservations (my daughter and I) for this weekend in Chicago (she's interviewing as a doctoral candidate at Northwestern) but we're having difficulty finding World Series tickets we can afford. We are so sad! One of the reasons Shanley's applying to Northwestern for her PhD is because of her love for Chicago and the Cubs! <br /><br />Congratulations on your job. How exciting! I would love to read your articles. Are they available online???<br /><br />xo,<br />RJRicki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-70442366157177540272016-10-24T23:04:36.654-05:002016-10-24T23:04:36.654-05:00Jane, congratulations!

It is such a blessing to be able to do what we love, and have a gift for. {When I first got the job writing for a magazine about antiques, I thought for sure that they made a mistake, and I would throw up, I was pretty nervous! Now? I love it and take all the photographs, too. And it's not half as hard as I thought it would be.} You are going to win over their readers with your charming, lovely style of writing, and soon you will be "famous"... Love it, sweetie. <br /><br />Please email me a copy of your first published column, I would love to read it.<br /><br />Xo LidyFrenchGardenHousehttp://frenchgardenhouse.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-57603160315622754492016-10-24T16:50:16.828-05:002016-10-24T16:50:16.828-05:00Wow Jane - I'm so happy and excited for you ge...Wow Jane - I'm so happy and excited for you getting writing job!

I know how you feel about not getting things done. I have been the same way lately. Maybe is the season change, I don't know, but I need to get myself in gear. :) Love the bedding you picked up for the lake house. So glad you are over all the repairs and you are now moving into the fun part of decorating your home. I know it will be beautiful when it is all finished.

If your columns are like your blog, you'll be a great success. <br />On the making of goals and setting high expectations for myself that sometimes (often) collapse, I think I'm an expert. It takes energy and purpose to live intentionally, but it can be so rewarding as long as we don't beat ourselves up when things don't happen as planned. That's just life. <br />Go boldly forward!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-52449658409040075942016-10-23T23:12:36.580-05:002016-10-23T23:12:36.580-05:00I like your goals, Janie.

I see you are in a funk (your words) but I pose this question to you - could it be that your soul just wants to slow down to be observational to your current situations and enjoy the beauty you are graced with everyday. I think we oftentimes are too hard on ourselves and expect every season to be over productive and goal orientated... you my friend should rejoice in your opportunity at writing a real column and celebrate your talent for being able to have what you longed for. Yes, it is Jane's time to just reflect on how delightful things are and know you are appreciated.
