I am so sorry for not posting for a few days. I am still leery about posting from work and the nights have been filled with the stuff we can’t get done because we are at work. This leads me to what I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I…
I Am Waiting To Get Good At Waiting
I am learning the ebb and flow of my new company and my new job and much like the job search, I have no control over when and what comes my way. I am supposed to be traveling next week but that may be cancelled. Other meetings assigned to me…

2 Feet of Snow
Disclaimer:I received this pictured via email in a long chain of forwarded emails. It’s not my idea or creation but I wish it was. I sure have the ingredients in the front AND back yard.
