It's been a while

I have been challenged by one of my best and oldest friends and mentors to get back to blogging....
Why? I’m not sure. I am reminded daily that I don’t always see things the same as others--
half full-half empty- as long as the coffee is still hot I’m happy..... 
Challenge Accepted!


2016 has brought many amazing things with it:

I have completed my Masters in Education, it was a long hard 2 ½ years full time but looking back it was worth it. I am a firm believer of post secondary education, if you want it go out and get it! I just don’t recommend working full time while you are attempting to conquer the mountain. *please note I am also a believer that university is not for everyone and some of the most amazing and rewarding careers are without degrees and added letters behind ones name
 I have free time.
o   I’m not sure what this means
o   I don’t remember free time being this busy
o   I can read books now that are not written by PhDs!!
o   I have read books written by funny women! Very encouraging and challenging!

I need to remember how to take time for me, stuff I WANT to do vs. Tasks that I HAVE to do.
o   I took a mini holiday to California to meet a new baby Eden, spend some time in the sunshine (which came out just for my visit) visit with the sweetest funniest people I am not related to, drink coffee, wander around Target (I miss target) and beach comb.

  I am turning over a new leaf each month of the year February will bring with it health and happiness…. More to follow

I am learning to cook. Cooking has been a reoccurring theme of my writing here or just in my journal… I laugh at the notion of becoming a good cook.
o   I read cooking magazines like some people read people magazine… reading about the stories of food… looking at the beautiful pictures….wishing I was one of the wonderful folks in the pictures laughing and enjoying the tasty foods in the pictures.

I love the notions of a beautiful year waiting to unfold before me, I love the promise of adventure, quiet times, surprises, friendships, and good times had by all.


So let this be the first of many conversations I share with you my dear friends—cheers to a new year!
