Difference 24 Hours Makes

While Driving ...

This is a shot of my front yard looking up.  I thought how ironic the sky was so blue, the temperature was 60 degrees but a snow storm and temperatures dropping into the teens was in the forecast for the weekend.

Here are pictures of an abandoned store near my house:

Can Only Change So Much

Having energy is a weird thing at least for me.  I am not a Type A person. I've battled periods of low energy without a known medical cause.  I do have my moments of energy bursts. I even fool myself into believing I have changed but reality always comes into view.  I contemplated making a few changes as I alluded to in an earlier post  then things went into a different direction which is okay.  Anyway now I'm trying out longer hours in the office but going in fewer days.  Sunday I spent a fair amount of time getting organized for the week.  I had my google task lists going for the days I worked and the days I was at home adding in an exercise routine everyday. Monday - Wednesday I got an amazing amount of things accomplished especially considering a lot tax stuff is due for work at the end of this month. I was feeling pretty proud then early Wednesday evening I fell asleep on our couch.  I could have crawled into bed, slept for 12 hours and still felt tired.  Today I'm back on track with my list.  I am reminded  I am who I am.  I certainly will continue to strive for improvement but cannot overhaul the total package!

A Gift to Myself

Arrived today - custom made from Lisa Leonard Designs.  (I am not affiliated with her company nor did I receive compensation.  I've seen Lisa's work mentioned in several blogs).  I <3 it!

Found Camera

I did pick up my camera today for the first time in probably a month.  These deer spent a good amount of time in my backyard this morning:

Back in Touch in 2010

Quick post with more to follow later. I got through the holidays but didn't take a single picture. In fact, I still haven't taken a picture.  No shots of our beautiful snow.  Despite my tone, I am happy and optimistic for 2010.  I believe there are some (good) changes on the horizon.  It's my nature to fight change but at this point I am ready to accept change and in some cases even aggressively pursue change.  I think of things such as: it could be the last summer my son is really home if he goes to college in 2011 playing football, the 2010/2011 school year will be the last one I will have 2 children in our school system.  I don't exactly feel sad about these things but rather keeping them in mind with my decisions.  Again more about all that at a later date.

To my blogging friends - I may not have commented but I have your blogs in my google reader and I do read your posts.
