The Lion King

Tomorrow we are going to see the Lion King at Popejoy.  I think I am more excited than anyone, this is Emily's 6 year old birthday present.  In spite of it all, we are still getting along.

Making some big decisions for myself.  I did get an offer as a WIC nutritionist, now I have to flip the coin and make the decision to go for it or to stay put.  The money is less, a major factor. 

It is disconcerting at work, knowing that funding is going to be reduced but not knowing how or where. 

gratitude

I'm taking a page from Oprah and trying out a new tactic - a daily gratitude list.  My goal is 5 things per day and not to repeat. 

Today I am very grateful for a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning, I am grateful for the beautiful fall weather, I am grateful for my husband taking care of the weekend plans, I am grateful that I have a job, I am grateful for my warm bed.

officially beat down

so you try and help someone only to be told you don't know what you are doing?  just shut up and sit down - that's what people want me to do.  speak up and get ridiculed.  try to visit your grandkids - forget it.
