Layers

It has been a year since I have been writing. Where has the time gone? I love this picture from one of the ancient circle forts we saw in Ireland. Layer upon layer of carefull chosen stones stand for ages with no mortor holding them together. Look how well they meet at the corner. I am jealous.

It has been a year since I joined the recruitment committee. My goal was to recruit the next generation of physicians and have smooth transitions as people begin and end their work here. Josh, Carrie, and Jenny have all settled in as if they were always a part of the group. Stacy comes to look at housing at the end of the month. Tracy found us (family practice, born in Parshall, ND) and made a great impression. Jake is semi-retired amd the world did not end. He blames his need to retire on computers, but after all, I think he is looking forward to sleeping in.

It has been a year since I worked at the quilt shop. I have started making a wall-hanging using the fabrics I got for my birthday last year. I want to quilt it myself when it is done. I have so many unfinished projects. I tell myself, "One stone at a time" and hopefully in the end I will have a wall with beautiful corners that will stand the test of time.
