Two weeks before Thanksgiving...holy shiz on a shizzle! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone and my mind is reeling trying to catch up. I have to say that I'm looking forward to the holidays this year...James and I have created our own family traditions and we love it. It makes us more of a family that way and we can incorporate things that we bring from our individual families into it and keep some of those traditions alive as well. I have had trouble with holidays since my grandmother passed, but honestly...after finding my own spiritual practice again over the last couple of years, I realize that she's still with us in spirit. And I can feel a new peace that wasn't there before over the deaths of friends and family members...yes, I can miss them. But, I don't have to get mired down because I know I'll see them again. Simplistic? Maybe...but, it gets me through the day.
Update on the 50 for 50 campaign...8 pounds to go. These last 8 pounds are moving really slow...with less than 3 weeks before my birthday, I have to kick this up a notch to make it. But, honestly...I'm so happy to lose the first 42 that I'll forgive myself if I don't get all the way there. I still have another 30 on top of that 50 I want to lose...so I'll keep pushing!!
Job is going amazingly well...in training this week for my CBAP (Certified Business Analyst Professional) certification exam. Intense class but a lot of great information.
I've been going through old photos and posting them on Facebook over the last week. I'll share a few here with you guys...hope you have a great week!
