Wow....the end of March! I can't believe that it's been another three weeks since I found the time to sit down, catch my breath and follow my dream. Somethings gotta change, because I'm starting to feel that disconnect with my spirit that leaves everything off balance. The past several weeks have been incredibly busy with work, all in a good way, learning tons and moving forward, but incredibly busy none the less. Two weeks ago I added up my work related hours and it came to 69 for the week. Too much, especially considering when the work is done, the family still needs to be afforded the time they deserve. By the time that's done, there's definitely no time for Lynda. So, I'm making myself an April Fool's resolution (New Years ones don't seem to cut it for me somehow!) and starting tomorrow, things are going to have to be different. I know there will be struggle, and there will be guilt about the pile not done, but as I always say, I only have about 10,000 days left on this earth if all goes well! How do I want to spend those days?
Spring break is almost over, calving is underway, Tin Pan South in Nashville will be just about finished (so I can quit whining about that) and time moves on. Most of our snow birder friends are back home or on their way, so our little town is coming to life again. All is well, and busy beats bored.
I think that's all I'll post for now. We have a busy day ahead (I've decided that maybe leaving my posts till the end of the day isn't the wisest, as I can never keep my eyes open!). We're off to the big city to look at new bathroom fixtures. We didnt' get to Florida this winter and we didn't get to Nashville, so darnit we're going to get an upgraded bathroom! Some of it is indulgence, a lot of it is necessity. When this house was constructed in 1950, I don't think indoor bathrooms were necessarily thought to be a priority. When it did go in, it was quite compact. Compact is okay, but now that we have 2 wheelchairs in the family, it just doesn't work anymore, so it's time to make some changes. I'm excited because a wider room means a longer tub!! Whoohoooo! Life just keeps getting better I swear.
Promise I'll be back soon...then I'll fill you all in on the Femme Fix!

After the storm
Here it is March 6, the days just keep marching by, it's mind boggling. We're just finished digging out from a 3 day storm, and waiting to see what the rest of March has to offer us. I'm hunkered down in a quiet corner in Brandon. It is amazing what a wireless internet option can offer you in this day of ever changing technology. I'd applied myself in the hotel I was staying at until checkout time, then meandered around the mall for a very short time. When you have all you need in life, what do you shop for really. With hours left to fill between meetings, I headed back to the restaurant of the hotel I'd been staying in to have lunch, and lo and behold, here I am, wrapping up 2 hours of actual online work, and now posting my journal. Man, I know lots of you are used to this wireless world, but for those of us who have spent our technological years plugged in, this is amazing!
Like I said last post, music is suffering right now, but life is moving forward. I just spent 2 hours participating in an online course I'm taking, with people from the corners of the world. How crazy is that! It's really great to know that the goals that I'm chasing to advance life for the people I know that have disabilities are being chased by people all over the world. Maybe all of us together will hold the key to seeing change in our life and time.
Been a wild week. Work has taken the front seat again, but we also had fortune shine upon us also. I was struggling to get home in a nasty blizzard last week, when my husband called me to tell me he'd just received a call from a hockey club that he'd purchased a draw ticket through. Can you beleive that that ticket won him a brand new 2006 GMC Sierra 4X4 extended cab!!! wow, we the WayWaysecappo Wolverines are our new favorite hockey team...and we don't even watch hockey, but go WayWay GO!! I'm so happy for him. No one deserves it more than my man...he always puts the rest of the world first. It's his turn to enjoy something. Even last fall we started looking at upgrading the old truck that we have, and he decided it was more important with the amount of travel that I do in my job, that I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, so he put me first, and decided to wait. It's almost like his patience was being rewarded. Nice to see.
I also had the opportunity last night to meet someone I've been communicating with via email for over 4 months with but never even actually spoke to. It was really great to finally get to meet the gentleman who worked so hard at perfecting my website and his wife. It's funny how close a person comes to the vision you have in your mind sometimes! Right down the the color of their hair.... It was great to finally put a face to the name and the signature. I know I've bragged about Heartland Graphics before, but honestly, it's been a great first experience for me to work with someone who understands all of this stuff so much more than I do. Thanks Chris, and great to meet you Susan.
Gotta run, once again, my time has slipped away. I'm just so glad that I found a break in my day to slip away to where I long to be!
