It's been a while....

since I've written anything here - but my goodness - I did not believe it when I saw July 31 as my last post! Here it is in the last full week of August and I know 'life' has happened in that timeframe - but guess it either wasn't interesting enough to write about - or I just didn't have time. I guess you could say a little bit of both.

This month has been a somewhat busy one - two grandsons birthdays and mine as well. My birthday was a good day. We had dinner at the daughter's house and one of the sons came with his family. It is always fun to get together and share a meal - even though it was Papa Murphy's pizza - it was good and it was fun! Other than that, the day was eventful in that I got several phone calls and texts from friends and family - and that is always good. I did receive a good number of cards as well. It's always good to be celebrated.

But that was a couple weeks ago and life goes on. Oh yeah, we also celebrated our 33rd anniversary this month. We didn't do anything special as I talked hubby into waiting until September for us to get away for a few days. We have another granddaughter getting married in September and since it is out of state and I will be taking time off work for that, I just took a couple extra days and we'll come back to our state and head north for a couple days. Our poor dog will truly hate us when we get back after putting her in the 'pet hotel' for 6-7 days. We've only done that once - usually it is only 1-2 days at a time, as we don't get away that often.

I went shopping with my daughter last week and bought 5 new dresses - it seems forever since I bought any clothes for work - and it looks like I will only take one back. I put it on again yesterday and go 'ehhhh'... lol my usual nose scrunching that means 'I don't like the way this looks'.... yes, I did try it on at the store and I thought it was ok... but... I changed mind. I did get one black and white dress that I wore once to work - and wore again to church yesterday and got lots of compliments on it - so at least I bought one dress that looks good on me! I may need to try the others on again and see if I need to take any others back. I'm just that way.

Work has been busy but I think I'm on top of things. I don't have any meetings this week - oh wait - yes, I have one on Thursday - but all I do is take minutes - which reminds me, I still need to type up from last week. Oh well. Some meetings are hard to take minutes for and participate in when you aren't fully involved.

Our offices will be moving by the end of the year - so we have been told. We'll stay in the area we are in - but move a few miles north - won't make much difference on my drive time - will be about the same. I got to be on the 'move committee' cause I want to know what's going on. At least that's what I told them.

Got up about 5 minutes until 4AM this morning. Just before the alarm went off. It was interesting how I woke up. I was in a dead sleep, then I remember breathing deeply (like taking a deep breath after not breathing) and sitting up in bed. I looked at the clock and saw the time - so just shut off the alarm and started getting ready for work. And here I am. I don't seem to get on my computer much at home anymore. It gives me a lot of problems some time and I just don't want to mess with it. Use my ipad a lot of times, but I need to get back on the computer for this fall I am scheduled to speak at a couple RV parks several times - and need to start working on the messages.

And for now, I need to get focused on work and get some things done. Keep your eyes on what is important - and let go of what is not. You will find that you will feel much better when you do that - mentally, physically and spiritually.

Blessings!
