Project 365 Week 35

It was a good week over all.

But the photos don't reflect the blessings I experienced.
And I wonder....
"where was my camera when.....?"
Funny how after 34 weeks go by, and I remember to take pictures, then this past week -
nada.
I forgot.

Let me explain.

Monday, January 11
I went to work and then went to the gym.

(this is an old photo, but the cycle room looks the same)

Tuesday, January 11
My family and I are eating vegan only for a couple of weeks.
This is what I prepared for dinner.
Ratatouille.
It's not just a movie!

Wednesday, January 13
While getting ready for work, I hear about the tragic earthquake in Haiti.
My heart is breaking for those who are there.
And then I hear that some of the physicians that work in my building are also in Haiti, working with Doctors without Walls.
When I arrive at work, I photograph their names on the directory while adding them to my prayers. They have returned home safely.

Thursday, January 14
I went to work and then I went to the gym.
(you might be getting the picture now)

Friday, January 15
I went to work and to the gym! (ha ha)
And so is everyone else....look at the parking lot!
I did go out with a friend too! But, I was so caught up in having fun, I didn't take a photo!

Saturday, after going to the gym, (smile)
my daughter and I went shopping at one of our favorite stores.

Sunday, January 17
I went to worship services and
I did NOT go to the gym.
I watched the Dallas Cowboys loose to the Minnesota Vikings,
and I took a nap.
A wonderful vegan potato chowder was served for lunch, and I read part of a book.
But I did not take a photo.

But it was a lovely week!
Hope yours was too,

So, I see I'm not the only one at the gym and trying to eat vegan... or at least vegetarian. ;)

I was going to take pictures every day in 2010 but I'm already behind. Oh well. Maybe I can catch up.

The Unexpected

Sometimes, things just don't happen like we expect. Occasionally, the unexpected is a nice surprise, but sometimes the unexpected can turn an event, circumstance, or even a life, upside down. Last week, my daughter and I went to spend Spring Break with family. Our flight was lovely, the weather perfect, and we were looking forward to a stress free week. The first thing we did was eat lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants. As usual, we looked forward to our fortune cookies. We took turns reading and laughing...and then my daughter opened hers - "Be prepared for a change in plans." Uh-oh. We didn't like this one but we decided our week would be stress free and fun in spite of what a cookie said. Continuing on through out the day, all was well until that night. I sat outside on the porch of a friend I have known for 35 years and received news that changed something I have believed for 30 years. The words were horrible and made me so ill that I got sick within min...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

Birthday!

Today is a special day. It is the first day of my last year in my forty's. I am a little anxious about this, but overall, excited. There is something about knowing that 50 is one year away that causes me to experience a deeper motivation to live life to the fullest. Yesterday, I resigned from my current position. Fifteen months ago I accepted a position with a group of cardiologists in Dallas, thinking that it would be a good move to bring more satisfaction in my work life. Long story short, it did not turn out that way. (I don't think that was even a short story, but bear with me.) Although I met some people that I really liked, and enjoyed working with the doctors in that practice, it just really did not satisfy my desire to learn, to lead, and to make a difference. I have tried hard not to complain, and only a few close friends know how I really felt about my job there and I have prayed fervently (and with others) that God would open the door to an opportunity more su...
