Back from the Mall walk

I went mall walking with my wife Kristy. It isn't really the mall walking you'd think, as in really keeping up a pace. First we didn't go until after noon. Real mall walkers are there in the morning and maintain a brisk pace.  I'll be getting back to that as its good for the heart.

Mall walking with my wife consists of walking around the mall once and then into Macy's to see what the sales are. She wanted a specific white coat and some gloves and sweaters. We could't get them this time, because we focused on her son's and her families presents. So when we go to the mall she likes to check on them and see if they are still there and at what price.  She is like a little girl as she reviews the posibilities. I enjoy watching her.

We then trekked over to Starbucks for a coffee. We got two cards for Christmas. Kristy like to get a decaf, tall, soy seasonal coffee with whip and I always get a tall, mild blend with heavy whipping cream. Her is about $3.50 and mine is about $1.60.  My theory is to enjoy the time out more often then enjoying the treat a few amount of times.  She says I'm cheap, I am actually.

While out this time I thought I should focus on setting up a job network meeting that will meet weekly here in Athens. It may bring me some contacts that would fit my background.  In checking on the possible structures, I have found two concepts, one in a church environment and the in a local restaurant, but with a faith based focused too.   I like that as I have found my faith in God has been challenged during tough times and both Kristy and I see that is not good. How do we bring the positive into our lives if we keep thinking we only get the worst that life has to offer.
