Gratitude and Musings

Catching Up

Wow! I can't believe I slipped posting for 4 days. I did have some new experiences -- some I liked and some I didn't.

First new experience was cornbread salad -- it was good. Since I didn't make it, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it had cornbread, sour  cream, vegies but no letture.

Next new experience was sitting in my back field watching the egrets swoop in and catch bugs. I was mowing the lawn and apparently stirring up delicious bugs. About 20 egrets started feasting. Was really kewl!

I didn't panic and rush the dog to the vet when she had a little limp from jumping off the porch. This is definitely a new experience for me. Usually, I'm packing them up and heading for the vet's office -- any time of day or night. She turned out to be ok and is running around like a crazy dog today.

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

My new experience for today was making (and eating) Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. mmmm.... they are as good as they sound. They're really for a 4th of July party we're going to tomorrow, but I had to taste them to make sure they were good!

31 days of Experiencing New Things - Day 1 & 2

What perfect timing for 31 Days of Experiencing New Things. I recently decided I needed to get more outside interests. My "new thing" for Day One was a first visit with the physical therapist and exercises to do on my own (trying to get range of motion back in my arm). 

Day Two turned out a bit different than I planned. I spent the day doing something I haven't done in a while -- tapping my network for a new client. A call from a long-term client who is moving everything "in house" had me re-evaluating my day and brushing up skills I haven't used in a while.

I'm looking forward to this challenge. If this challenge sounds interesting to you, you can find out more information here.
