The home computer has provided quite a challenge for me this week. Only when it wants to it provides the little arrow that shows where your mouse is. Right now it's not working so you can only imagine how long it took me to get this far...
I have been back to work for four half days this week (I've been working 5 hour days) and I am exhausted. A good tired, I am not complaining. I receive a lot of joy and satisfaction from my career and the wonderful people I work with and for.

Right before I left the office I ask my coworkers to be prepared to learn new information and new ways of accomplishing tasks. I asked them to keep track of those things or have at least one valuable new thing they learned to tell me about upon my return. Tomorrow I am going to ask them to share that with me. Here the practice run on just a few things that I have learned while I was out of the office.

I learned that it is really important to listen to what my body needs and then follow through.
I learned how to give myself a shot.
I learned that I have a very strong spirit.
I learned that there isn't enough time in the day or days in my life to spend time being negative. It makes me feel bad, physically, mentally and spiritually and I definitely don't need that.
I learned that having the energy to be active with my family can bring as much joy (MORE) than running across a finish line alone. ( I haven't lost my desire to cross a lot more finish lines in my life)

I learned a lot more but those of you reading this learned that about me along the way so these are the first five things I could think of.

My quote for the day "A woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong."

Thanks so much for checking in. I am sorry that it took me a week to get back here.
