Thanksgiving already? Oh shit...

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!
