Count your blessings

It is amazing what we can endure when we're too busy to sit around and think about it for very long. Perhaps a busy mind makes a relatively distracted mind, as well.

I have completed the campus classes required for my degree. The only thing left to complete is my co-op, which consists of 6 credits = 3 credits Spring and 3 credits Summer. A 3 credit co-op boils down to 10 hours/week working at a site. I'll be working for the City of Eugene, under the supervision of the Communications Director. My core project will be designing a City Employee Recognition & Awards website, plus whatever smaller things blossom along that path. I'm truly looking forward to this opportunity and recognize it as the ultimate stage to network for a future job or develop relationships with potential clients, depending how my future career plays out this summer. I'll also continue building my Mary Kay customer base and enriching women's lives along the way.

I'll also have more time to spend with my friends and family. I asked my two daughters what they thought about a monthly "dinner with Mom" night, separately, of course. I have a small house. I think they agreed... We'll see when I send out their dinner invitations for next month.

I have a green house that is calling my name. I plan to get some vegetable starts growing next month and plant a modest garden and lovely flowers to eventually put on my table and share with neighbors.

I had communication with two local non-profits this week, one was a luncheon and the other a response to an email, about how multimedia design might serve their needs. The feedback I've received so far is very promising and continues to fuel my dreams of designing multimedia products & designs geared towards enhancing the lives of our developmentally and intellectually challenged community.




I ordered my business cards yesterday and I'll continue to work on my website so I can release the new design within a few more weeks.



Had a nice long call from a friend in Saint Louis this morning. We hadn't talked for too long a time. It was a great time laughing and scheming for a possible get together this summer.

My life is good. I am truly blessed beyond measure. It would be nice to have health insurance, but for now I'll pray for good health and personal safety.

It seemed like a good day to count my blessings. There are many more.

Blessings to you & yours,
Rege
