New Year, New Intention

Last year, my intention was to “be present”.  It was hard to work at it.  It is so easy to let my mind wander to the “what should I have done” and the “what if this happens” and all the little things that need attention at some point.  I did manage to improve my focus, and keep my mind and attention on the here and now.  It made some of the highlights of the year like the Plane Pull for Sight and the TWECS project much more rewarding.

This year, I’ve decided that my intention will be the quote that has guided my life for the past 13 years.

Be present

I had my first “test” today on following through with my intention. It was something so simple, but deceptively difficult.

100 Happy Days Redux: Day 76

I met up with my friend K today before driving back to Edmonton. We used to work together years ago, and it was so awesome to be able to catch up She gave me the ring for Christmas; she knows me very well! I mentioned how happy I am in my current job, and she said she always knew that I was meant to train people. It got me to thinking about something I did 7 years ago.

A tale of three cats

I’m back!  Miss me?  When I wrote that post last July, I didn’t anticipate that my break would be this long.  However, life gets in the way and suddenly it’s 9 months later.  So much has happened that I can’t cram it all into one post.  I’ll start with the events that prompted me to start writing again…my beloved cats.
