on snow flurries and slacker attitudes

So. I have not blogged in a while. But the snow flurries are falling outside and I should be writing fall retreat lessons inside, so it seems the perfect time for a quick blog!!

Since last I wrote here I have been to my best friend from college's wedding (very, very nice!), found out information that made my life more difficult, planned three trips that just might end up on the "highlight reel" at the end of my year, and struggled with tough situations. I have been inspired and disillusioned, excited and passive, educated and "schooled". I have learned how some things work together and I have not always been impressed.

Through all of the junk going on and all of the things that I struggle with, I have come to realize that... I am so blessed. At the end of the day, when the decisions are done being made and the hours and minutes have been spent, I realize that there has been more good than bad and I have learned an awful lot for the struggle. And really... struggle is not always a bad thing!!

So here I am... in my cold office, on a gray Tuesday, remembering that I do love my life and I am truly blessed, and no matter what comes of the days and weeks ahead, I will continue to love life and try to live these days for a bigger purpose than me!

hmmmm... guess I can't put it off any longer... on to fall retreat planning!!
