One Week Gone

Well, here we are, January 9, 2012.  How was the first week of your new year?  Nothing too exciting in my week, but nothing traumatic either.

What do you have going on this year?  My big even this year is that I will be turning 50 years old in 39 days!  WOW!  HALF A CENTURY!  I'm not sure I'm ready for that, but it's definitely better than the alternative!!!


Beyond my birthday, we a several family reunions coming up this summer (all in one weekend!!!).  Although I haven't always looked forward to them with much enthusiasm, I'm learning to enjoy them.  Especially after connecting with a cousin at one a couple of years ago who has become a good friend over the last couple of years.

House hunting is still a big thought on my mind, but we'll have to see how the financial market goes.  I'm liking where I'm at with my friend and we seem to have a pretty good thing going.  I don't want to mess up that relationship, so we'll just have to see how things go.

I'm pretty sure that work will present new and hopefully exciting challenges. Our team is regrouping after the exit of the man that was my supervisor from the day I was hired.  We also have a new(er) manager.  He's been with us for about 6 months, but with all of the things going on he hasn't had a chance to really take charge yet.  This will be a challenge for all of us.

So, to all of you, I hope that your first week of the new year was a good one.  I hope that your year is a good and positive one!
