Always A Student

I’m still on the back to school track. I’m thinking about how it’s important to continue to pay attention to our own education. Whether it’s taking a class at the local community college or doing a tutorial on some new on-line product or service, the act of keeping your study habits honed really pays off in all areas of your life. Commit to your continued growth- mind, body, spirit. Got to go, taking a continuing education class!

A Much Needed Day Off

I took the day off today. I just had to. After what seemed like weeks and weeks of running both at work and at home, I was out of gas. Needless to say, I had a great day! I filled it with the things I love to do. A long, hard work out, a leisurely stroll around Costco and an afternoon of doing the crossword puzzle while lounging in bed. It was divine. I’d like to say I’m energized, revitalized and ready to go back at it, but can I puleeze have 1 more?!??!

The Importance of Girlfriends

Today I ran into Millicent a woman I’ve known for awhile. She can only be described as a firecracker- full of energy and spirit. Not an adjective you would typically use to describe a 90 year old woman. I’ve asked Millicent what keeps her young. She’s told me time and time again, its her girlfriends. She makes spending time with her friends a priority in her life. She “gives” to them- her time, her spirit, her essence. In doing so, she brings joy into her own life. Giving is truly the key to her happiness. Amazing, but just the way she is. It’s a good reminder for me too and I sure do hope I have ½ of her energy at 90!

Looking Forward to Fall

Labor Day has come and gone. I have to admit, it’s a day I look forward to. I love the fall. I look forward to the cooler days, the change of the leaves and when I first see all those school buses hit the road. I think it’s because I loved school..the idea of learning something new. I guess I have always been a “seeker” of one kind or another. It’s like I also tell my just us girls members, they too are seekers. They come together to learn from one another, learn more about themselves, learn new skills, new life strategies. So, hope you enjoy the Fall too and look forward to all that we will learn together.
