Not so 'pit of despair'

I have to say I am a little impressed with myself. I used the time I normally would have been at work last night (library closed early due to weather) to do some cleaning in the 'Pit of Despair'. I now have all my receipts organized & put away and I have my new system in place for 2008 so that it will never get as bad again. [Never say never.]

I can actually see the tops of things in that room, the top of the sofa, the top of my desk, etc. I can see bits and pieces of the floor.

Truly, you do not know how excited this makes me. Clean and organized. The anticipation of it makes me want to do pirouettes across the floor. [I won't simply because I am in the library and I really don't think it kind to share my awkwardness with the world.]

Digging In

No time to talk -- gotta go dig in for the blizzard! The library is closing early today so . . .
hopefully I will be back tomorrow.

Breathe

Today I woke up and looked at the thermometer . . . 40 degrees. 40 degrees! The sun is shining and it is beautiful outside. Even though I know that the temperature will be dropping 40 degrees tomorrow, I'll take it. I'll take the breath. The refreshing day that speaks of hope for spring.

I have found that there are times in my life where I can take a breath. Times when nothing horrible or tramatic happens nor when anything exciting or dramatic happens. It may be a day, a week, a year. Some time frame in which the events in my life are not overwhelming. I can reflect on the past -- what has brought me to this point. I can plan for the future -- where I want to go from here.

I can revel in the hope and reflect on the blessings.

So Chris . . . breathe

5 things

5 current movies I would like to see:

1. Cloverfield
2. 27 dresses
3. I am Legend
4. P.S. I love you
5. Atonement

BTW: I watched National Treasure: Book of Secrets last weekend -- loved it! Not sure that much of it is historically accurate but loved it all the same!

Whoopsie

Okay, so I forgot to post yesterday. Whoopsie.

I had planned on it. Scheduled it into my day. Then . . . nothing.

Sorry.

I have a lot of excuses I could give you but I won't.

I have been thinking a lot about my life lately. I seem to do this in spurts. Think and evaluate my life -- live it -- think and evaluate, etc. Hopefully I am learning something along the way but I can never tell. Until one day it pops into my head "whoa, this is something new, isn't it? wow! this is really working in my life."

Anyway, back to thinking and evaluating. I currently have not come to any conclusions but I have a feeling that I will and that they will be life changing. I think I am due for one of those life changing revelations.

Ending on a happy note: Look at this beautiful baby!

Congratulations to the Kostman's!
