I was a little disconcerted by recent events at work (a big layoff) so we talked about it over the weekend and considered what to do. The reality is that my job is not in jeopardy, nor will it change my day to day work. I just will not be doing it with some of the people on whom I depended. We decided that, while it is important to plan, it is also important to continue to live life. We have some big and very cool stuff going on right now. Kelly is in the middle of a great story with her Betty Blonde comic. Christian and I continue to work on the ham radio, although we are kind of stuck until I get a specific kind of wire. Lorena is getting all her ducks in a row to get back into school. Kelly and Christian are scheduled to take the ACT college entrance exam on Saturday. I program on my special projects almost daily. Sometimes I forget life is good even when the immediate future is a little uncertain.
Reading today’s entry and thinking about last week’s regarding mundane, daily activities… ordinary days are made special because of those with whom we share the days. Of course, there’s benefit also in personal advances/growths that occur whether learning a new math skill or accomplishing a task at work. Your family is very special and the future is bright, no matter what happens, because of them.
Thanks Youngin. It has been a good time to reflect on exactly what you just said. We are particularly thankful for our new friends here in North Carolina.
KEN!
FEB 1st is the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the start of our WEIGHT LOSS DEATH MATCH! 🙂
How could you forget such a LARGE event!?
That is EXACTLY right. I am such a loser. No… I take that back. I am not such a great loser (as can be indicated by the chart). We will have to celebrate this somehow.
