Updates:
(1) I LOVE (underscore, underscore) my job lately. I am working on some cases that I really care about...and I love my clients...and I really, really appreciate the maturity of the people I work for. They are people that I silently appreciate and they inspire me to want to be better.
(2) I trained for a 1/2 marathon, but didn't run the race. I thought I would really regret not running the race, but I think it worked out for the best. It would have enjoyed running with my running buddies though. I have really enjoyed getting to know them in the process of training. We come from two different wards...there are two nurses, one graphic designer, one concert pianist, two lawyers...six are stay at home moms and me!
(3) Blog drama - who knew it even existed. I've had three incidences of blog drama in the past two weeks. Every bit of friction is a chance to learn and grow. So while I don't like blog drama, it does force growth...so I'm hoping anyway. I've still got plenty o' room to grow.
(4) I really love facebook. I really do. Recently, I have LOVED reconnecting with friends from my last mission area in France. One of my very close old friends added me. After touching base with her for the first time in three years, I found myself crying the entire drive to work just thinking about her (which PS is a 1/2 hour drive)...The last time we spoke on the phone we were cut off mid-conversation and I was never able to connect with her again. Just looking at her pictures I could tell exactly how life is going. No need for explanations. I haven't seen her in so many years.
With some friends, words are unnecessary and time spent apart is irrelevant....and there is something amazing about a friendship with a French person. They care deeply and I love them for it. It is so easy to lose sight of how much people meant to you, or you to them...how powerful and amazing those friendships were and are. Facebook is a medium that consistently reminds me of that.
(5) O'k those are my random thoughts. And now I am going to bed.
