    I am back...not that I was ever really gone!

    Hello all,

    I know I have been lax in participation in the past few months, but now my life has settled (well physically anyway) once more and I feel I can get on with it. I have been reading with the book club, although I was unable to post for a while; I'm a little behind and will try to catch up. I'm still sitting and will be participating in Ango. Alot has changed in my/my family's life as of late - as some of you may know.

    We are in a new state - Kentucky. We have finally moved in and are settled in our new house. I have started a new job as a Teacher's Aid in the school where my children attend - I'm in a 6th grade classroom. During the week, I find my time very limited for things such as computer time. I will find a balance with it all - just right now, I apologize for my absence. I haven't worked outside the home for 7 years, so finding time for everything is a challenge :wink: .

    I may also be travelling to my hometown, as my mother has just broken her hip and is in need of some care. Please keep her in your metta. I know it's alot to ask from someone who hasn't been here...

    I've missed you all and just wanted say hello. I will be present more often...

    Gassho,
    Kelly/Jinmei

    Hey Jinmei,

    Very glad to hear from you as you have often been in my thoughts. And your mother will have a place in my metta for awhile...it is certainly not too much to ask for a valued member of the sangha! Be well and let us know how things are going whenever you find some quiet time to yourself...whatever that is.

    Gassho,
    Dosho

    Hello all,

    Thank you all for the well wishes and metta. It is good to be back in practice with all of you. I started my Ango a day late, but I'm here with you nonetheless.

    I'm finding that my new job is a wonderful place for practice...patience, compassion, wisdom...all are needed on a daily basis. Looking forward to continuing the journey with you.

    take care all,
    Kelly/Jinmei

    Hi Kelly-Jinmei,

    I'm late as usual, but wanted to say - it's nice to see your smiling face again. Glad to hear you're settled in your new Kentucky home. Hope your mom heals well and soon.

    Gassho, Jikyo
