Focus on the Family

I got a call today from Focus on the Family saying they are considering me for the Senior Creative Director position and I should hear back from them within a couple of weeks. It wasn’t clear as to how many other people were being considered or where they were in the weeding-through process.

At least I got a phone call, at least it’s still a possibility. Cross fingers. Pray. A lot.

We had a good day today. I got up early, not unusual, and had some time to myself. Frank was next and we had about forty-five minutes to ourselves, which was really nice. Then Beck. I made the boys breakfast and then made breakfast for Doug and I, and then Doug got up. It was good that he slept in. We decided to go to San Pedro to get more school shirts for Frank, but found the uniform place is closed on Sundays. So . . .

We went to the RV show in Pomona. It was great fun because we picked out something we could really afford. At one point I said I had been worried about all the money we are spending in our minds to get toys when we move, and Doug said, “But then we wouldn’t have money to start the store.” My knees went weak. I adore this man.

I was watching Inside the Actor’s Studio a little while ago. Great show, loved it for years. Tonight’s guest was Rosie O’Donnell. At one point she said something about forging ahead as long as whatever it is you’re working toward is something you know you have to do. Not something you think you want to do, but know you have to do. I feel that way about the store. I’ve felt that way for ten years. I have to do it.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
