Leaving Normal Behind

The Everyday
I started back to work this week after a two month leave of absence. I can say without a doubt that God surprised me with the ease of the week. I have much to write but want to take some time (hopefully this evening) to put my thoughts in order. A strange use of “beauty”?

Maybe … but it is representative of the gift it was! I hope to be more consistent writing now that I’ve started back to work and am used to having a new puppy around!

The Not-So-Everyday
I’m not sure how I found this clip but it amazes me everytime I watch it and I think I’ve viewed the video over five times within the last hour! I am overwhelmed by such athletic and beautiful exhibitions.  It inspires me … to what?  ha!  Who knows!

Happy Saturday!

It’s been over a week since my last post and all for good reason. (Anything else would be unacceptable!)

Sounds like I might be talking about Adam in the Garden, hmmm?

… sorry to disappoint but I’m not.

i’ve been wanting to write another post but my neck and head/eyes are hurting terribly today. Some of you might remember that I had pretty bad neck pain after visiting my brother in Prague, last October, that lasted through January. I hope this isn’t the same problem but it hurts as bad. Pray it leaves quickly … because its miserable and I want to write about something else!

Happy Monday!

I read the following quote on a friends Facebook page tonight:

Darkness is an unlit wick;
it just needs Your touch, Beloved, to become a sacred flame.
~ St. Francis of Assisi

Mom forwarded this to me via email today and I’ve also seen it passed around today by several friends. And although it seems to be making the rounds quickly, I couldn’t pass up another opportunity to share a video of something that not only makes me smile (quite big) but is also inspiring.

Enjoy!

yes… I have to agree with this post. I have drunk the kool-aid.

“Why downloading Firefox is like getting into college.”

I have spent the equivalent of a full work-week since last Wednesday playing with add-ons, extensions, themes, etc. and etc. Maybe a small exaggeration but let’s just say sleep has been missed. I removed Firefox a while ago and played instead with Flock. Not anymore. I have a pretty cool browser now that does exactly what I need it to do.

Memphis lost the 2008 NCAA Championship last night.

I was one free throw from winning two brackets.

I’m a little tardy updating the blog but I’ve been a little busy. This past weekend was a great weekend … the three F’s: friends, family, fun, and I guess I should add the one C: counseling.

Family
Last week had a lot of great times with family. I got to spend some fun time on the phone with Grandmom and Granddad. I laughed a lot. Especially concerning a comment Grandmom made regarding “playing outside this summer”. Let’s just say that I had a vision of sprinklers on the lawn. Granddad had me rolling laughing regarding a “ypdb”. I love my family!

Mom came into town last Thursday evening for a couple days. …
