today...

Today I realized I haven't written anything in awhile directly from me. It has been a lot of quotes and songs. I have a tendency to do that when I have a lot on my mind, but don't know how to put everything into words. So, today, it's just me.

Today was extremely busy. Work at this time...in the fall...is exhausting. Here's a fun pic from my most recent travels for work....


Yesterday I was driving through southern Indiana on my way to Cincinnati, OH.

My immediate thoughts seeing this pick-up truck with a huge pumpkin in the back were...

They sure do grow 'em big down here in southern Indiana. And...this was quite the pumpkin pickin' adventure.

I was in the car for probably a total of 10 hours yesterday. Yikes. I was crabby and exhausted by the time I got home last night. But I do enjoy driving in the car alone sometimes. It gives me time to think, sing at the top of my lungs, check out new scenery, and catch up with family and friends on the phone.

I thought about what I'm going to do with my life. Isn't that what everyone ponders about when driving alone in the car? :)

What are my plans after I finish my masters? Where would I like to live? Where would I like to work? When will I finish my masters? It's difficult to imagine where your life will be a year and a half from now, because things don't always happen the way you think. I have certainly learned you can only plan so much.

I've tried to not think so far in advance about my life. I figure, why try to plan that far ahead?

I've learned to enjoy each day as it comes...to be thankful for what I have...and to appreciate the little moments in life.
