QOTW 12/31

Looking back--give us a few 'highlights' / 'lowlights' of your 2007?

Lowlight:

Getting moved to a position of responsibility that I never aspired to have, moving me further away from doing what I got into the field TO do.


Highlight:

Getting moved into a position of responsibility that I never aspired to have, putting me in the position of helping other people find that mission and chase it with their whole hearts. (Gee, even the lowlight has a highlight.)

Highlight:

Discovering a host of folks/or being discovered by a host of folks (however you care to look at it) who bring awesome things to my life without even meaning to. Thank you to all you cool people who visit/allow me to visit and for all the wonderful blessings you bring to my life, for making me laugh and get weepy and for helping me 'hear' things that I sometimes don't hear so well via other avenues!
If that hasn't happened for you....stick around and spread yourself around, it will!

Highlight:

The trip to visit the sister in California.
That was just plain wonderful. We got to splash and play and wander and have adventure after adventure after adventure.
I've decided we can do that one again!

Highlight:

Returning from the trip to California to a fancy, decorated office.
Oh, it's not the office itself. The whole world knows my sentiments about being stuck in an office.
It's the thought that went into it and the bit inside me that got 'wowed' by the folks who made the time, pooled the talent and had the desire to put that all together cuz they WANTED to........gosh........for ME?


Highlight:

Having another year to look back on, period.
The laughter, the loving--the FUN that it's been to get to be a part of this whole deal called life.
And the absense of that darkness that tends to loom around, ever reminding me that it could all get ripped away at the drop of a single bloodtest.

Highlight:

The whirly, swirly penguin that zooms around the bathtub if you sit real still in the middle of the bubbles....
She ZIPS around with the propeller on her butt and occasionally ZOOMS up to the top and sprays water ALL over the bathroom, only to dive again and ZIP around some more!

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!! LOL
Yeah, yeah......so it was near an hour in the bath and there were puddles on the floor--

You're a doll and I'm so glad to have become aquainted with you.
