I love when spring finally arrives. Life gets full and busy again. I like it that way. Keeps me from being bored and focusing on the what ifs and maybe's of life. Last weekend I went on a 4 mile hike with a new group of people. I think I've discovered one of the things I need is new friends. My best friend lives hundreds of miles away, my next closet friend an hour away. So I need to find folks, even if they are more like acquaintances, to hang out with. I'm not looking to give up on the people I know that are near by, I just need to find people who fit my life better. And so that quest has begun. Slow and steady evolution of me!
This year has been such a major improvement at work. It's been a pleasure instead of constant stress. Today was a bit of a side step. I guess I should state that on the 25th I send out a plethora of reports for all of the companies I am responsible for. One of the companies is having a rough month. I have been discussing it with the Manager there for over a week. Sent him preliminary reports to review a week ago. Today, after I prepped the VP that there would be issues with the reports, he called the manager. Suddenly he decides to review the prelim...he now thinks there is an issue with a particular line item. So you had 7 days to look at this? And you wait until 2 hours before I have to have it out? This same manager sent me an email at 4:50pm last Friday and said hey I need these three contracts tomorrow can you get them typed up? He has been fairly warned, be proactive. Only a few rough hours, not day after day...keep it in perspective.

It's time to travel the world again, headed some place new this weekend. Camera in hand! As we all enjoy the benefits that so many have fought and died for this weekend let's keep that in mind. Our privileges have come from a lot of dedication and sacrifice for many years, by many people, those enlisted and the families that support them. Thank you!
