KIM KELSEY YOU'RE WANTED IN THE OFFICE


At sixteen I attended Vista Maria school for Girls. I was an alright student worked very hard to get passing grades. There were a many of days when I would get called into the office to see Sister Mary Beth. This office that's on the page now. Everytime I would open that door my stomach would be jumping me thinking Oh God I'm in big trouble now.
Once I was called in to see Sister Mary Beth and I was told to have a sit as usual and wait. I sat there with my hands sweating and my heart just pumping and wondering again what had I done. I get in her office and she waves her hand to the chair that sat beside her desk for me to have a sit. I was shaking inside I could hear my heart just beating as if its in Africa. "Kim " she says to me looking down at a folder with my name on the tab. "I''ve been looking over your grades and credits. It looks as if this is your last year in high school." I sat there my eyes nearly jumped out of the sockets. I couldn't say anything I just shook my head back and forth then finally I said "no way."
Everytime I look up from my desk I think about that day. Not just that day but many of days I worked in that small office and looked though that window at the woman that sat on the other say of that window (Mrs. House ) and I have to smile. I think of Sister Mary Beth and smile too. I'm back, she must be smiling in Heaven thinking "No Way."

TODAY


I took a moment and looked up at the sky its such a wonderful day today. I often compliant about my life and forget to stop and smell the roses. I forget to look at the sky and its beauty or just be thankful for being a live. I'm grateful for today and what it brings for me. The sky helped me remember that I am doing fine. In church today he spoke of the divine order its in between the making of our purpose that God allows us to be in the little moments while He's taking care of the big moment. I see it in the sky the beauty of this moment today.

NEW FRIENDS AND OLD STORIES




On the 4th of July Debbie and I went to Greenfield Village my favorite place to visit. I usually go on my own and just enjoy the sites. I had a wonderful time visiting the village and getting to know Debbie. I also had the opportunity to meet one of my favorite home town actors Tony. I had seen him in so many plays around Detroit. We were both so happy to see how much our country has changed over the centuries. I think my tee shirt says it all. Happy 4th and God bless America.
