A few weeks ago I was reminded of a great illustration; Take a bucket, fill it with rocks, then pour sand over the rocks to fill the bucket. Now take that same bucket, sand & rocks, only put the sand in the empty bucket first and then try to fit all the rocks. I’ve heard [...]

Calm down Butterflies!!!
Posted in Reflections on January 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
So I have butterflies in my stomach. I’m just so giddy… I really just want to start my new project about the letters but I NEED to practice that patience thingy and wait. It doesn’t help that I keep goofing up and making mistakes on this dang pair of socks that I am working on! and [...]

Why is it that during this time of year everyone gets so sentimental? Or hopeful? Why does everyone wait till the new year to set new goals? They walk around with their champagne kissing people and trading resolutions, that they will shortly break?!… I have no desire to do any such thing this year. I’m [...]

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. Seasons Change… and so must I. For several months now my Captain and I have been working on changing our scenery, our life, and our careers. So we’ve made a decision. We are not sticking around New England [...]

Ode to a Know it all

“Ode to a Know it all” Who do you think you are anyway? Where do you find grounds for these ridiculous opinions? You talk to me like your above me. As if you know me. You have no clue who I am… We’re not cut from the same cloth. You may hold a higher station but that [...]
