I'm back!
Well, I have returned to the office after a week off on vacation in Maine. Can I tell you how much I love Maine? I really would love to live there. It's so beautiful. Everything seems greener and bluer. My family and I spent the week in Southeastern Maine, in Freeport for a day (shopping at L.L. Bean) and the rest of the time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. I could have spent all of my time there. I could spend time just sitting and staring and absorbing and resting and enjoying the beauty. It really is amazing. If you've never been there, you should go.
I have come back a bit tired, however. I took some time to see 'King Arthur' on Saturday. Clive Owen is my second favorite actor behind Ewan McGregor. He's wonderful. Tall, dark and handsome...and British. Can't go wrong there. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I've read some unflattering reviews, but I still liked it.
Yesterday, I went to my Mother's side Family reunion. It's the first time I've gone in years. I'm usually too busy over the summer to get away, but since it was the end of a week's vacation, I decided to make the effore, plus, after my last grandparent passed away this year, it helped me to realize the importance of family. I don't always feel like I fit in with my extended family, but I love them just the same.
So, now it's back to work. Purple Door is looming. I'm quite a bit behind, and have quite a lot to do. It's a bit overwhelming, but I will do my best to suck it up and plow ahead. My theme for the summer is "PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN!" I can do it! God will help me. I'm counting on it.
