I have some amazing people in my life. At the very top of this list is of course my husband, parents and siblings. And honestly, although I’ve known some of the most fabulous people on the planet, very few friends come close to my family, because family is forever. Not because they aren’t great, but…
Day 19: Limits of solidarity
I’m married to a fabulous man. He would do anything I asked, which is probably why I’m very careful what I ask. Tonight I probably ask too much as he is helping me with some work. He’ll probably be up most of the night finishing it, and then the rest of the night he has…
Day 18: You’re influenced
Today was spent mostly driving back to reality after the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was great to spend time with family, see new places and not think about work for a few hours at a time. A lot of this time was spent creating new memories, while a fair amount was catching up after nearly…
Day 16 & 17: Forgive yourself & Glean wisdom
This is an awesome 2-part post, mosly because I got distracted and only got around to writing the title last night before falling asleep. So sorry if there are multiple concepts in one place, but I thought it was important to still reflect on both of my days. After all, this is still in the…
Day 15: Love the little ones
Happy Thanksgiving! We have had the great opportunity to be at my sisters house this year. We ate a lot, laughed a lot and made some memories. I got to hang out with three out of seven of my favorite little ones in the whole universe. I’m not too anxious to be a mother myself,…
Day 14: Carsick
Today I learned: I get carsick when I try to write a blog in the car. Now off I go to hope the rest of the trip goes by quickly.
Day 13: Office Decorating 101
So today during lunch I ran across an interesting article about 13 Things Your Desk Says About You. While the concept of personal marketing isn’t necessarily new to me, the thought of my desk playing a part of that certainly is. Of course I glanced hesitantly over my workspace realizing how much dust had accumulated…
Day 12: Life’s not fair
Today was a tough day. With the holiday season and coworkers on vacation, there have a been a few extra responsibilities to look out for, but I can handle that. Today I spent most of my day immersed in the news articles about the Mandera Massacre in Kenya. It’s gruesome, so I’ll spare you the details (read them…
Day 11: Brevity
Day 11: A few right words are better than a lot of wrong ones.
Day 10: Laugh with Anyone
We had a great day at church, learning, delivering food, enjoying a Thanksgiving meal together and watching a movie. I knew a few people, and they’re great, but there were so many people I didn’t know. At first the room was very full, but as the afternoon went on people trickled out. As the group…
