Long time, no blog...

Wow...it has been a long time since my last entry. But as I have mentioned before- I am not even sure how many actually read my blog. So, for those who do- my apologies for it being such a long time. I have had a number of issues going on in life, which has left me with little time or energy for my normal pursuits. However, as many have told me- I need to take a few moments for reflection and relaxation in order to be at full strength for those who need me. To that end- I plan to once again...blog as best I can blog!

Condolences to a Friend

Sad that my first post in many weeks is not on a light note. I write this as a condolence to a friend and former co-worker, Katy- as she mourns the passing of her mother this past week. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and sorrow of losing such a precious person from your life...

Holiday Greetings

Hello to all who may read my blog. I wish you all blessed and Happy Holidays in whichever manner you may celebrate. To those who know me best- Merry Christmas and a most wonderfully Happy New Year. It is indeed a time of new beginnings for me, I await the coming year with much hope. May you all have peace and joy!

In Memory

I am posting this blog in remembrance of a life lost too soon. Today, my office learned that the stepson of one of our close co-workers was killed in an auto accident this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Veterans Day

Today, tomorrow...and every day- may we remember and honor all who have served. The many brave men and women as well as their families and friends.

Ah...corporate downsizing

So, have you heard about the rising unemployment rates all over the country? Well, as of Dec 31, 2008- I will join the ranks of the unemployed thanks to corporate downsizing. That is, of course, if I cannot find a suitable job prior to that date. Not exactly the best time to be on the job market- just take a peek at the daily news if you doubt me. Alas, I am not looking at this as a reason to be depressed.Rather, I am looking at it as an opportunity for growth and change. I have been with my current company for 8 years, and it will be an odd feeling to not report to this office. But, I feel confident that a bright horizon is ahead. I have dusted off my resume and am in the process of updating and polishing. I shall keep my chin up and march forward and not look back....

Lost in laptop Land

Ever wonder why it seems so difficult to decide on a laptop? I guess for those who are tech-savy, it poses no real challenge. However, for those of us who sometimes get lost somewhere between the MB and Gig....it can seem like a daunting task. I feel like I am in some weird cyberspace drive-through. Multiple choices and selections - so many different options...I am just waiting to hear a booming robotic voice say "Would you like fries with that?"
