It seems that you have a nice clear direction of where you're headed & the fact that you can enjoy 'the now' & appreciate all that's around you is a wonderful thing. Very few people seem to be able to do that.

I really am happy about going back to my old job. I could handle it if I didn't have school plans. But I am sure I will have to cut that even eventually. It can be very hard not to get distracted when I am trying to focus on long term goals. When a promotion comes up it is very hard not to get excited and jump for it. But if I want to stick to the plan, then I have to stay focused. A dollar extra an hour isn't enough to want to quit school! <BR/><BR/>Yes, Casey makes me so happy and makes me motivated to push further in what I do with myself. I hate to sound dependent, but I had no clear focus before we were together. I had a good job and all, but I didn't really think about long term goals.<BR/>And quality time with him instantly refreshes me!<BR/><BR/>Amy, I just checked that website, how great is that??!! I can't wait to sow Casey~!!!!!bunbunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389459530117328836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544894538213566355.post-18502185060463295672008-07-21T11:27:00.000-07:002008-07-21T11:27:00.000-07:00ok, sorry for the wonky link.http://1world2wheels....ok, sorry for the wonky link.<BR/>http://1world2wheels.org/<BR/>that should work.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906339754041926000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544894538213566355.post-23331699199406971412008-07-21T11:20:00.000-07:002008-07-21T11:20:00.000-07:00...speaking of riding bikes, my mom just sent me t......speaking of riding bikes, my mom just sent me this link. <BR/><BR/>http://app.bronto.com/public/?q=preview_message&fn=Link&t=1&ssid=357&id=cvg364pbxqtl13df2hezy5j1vi749&id2=8vsn0rftb5b3u8784if21lf6p4w6r<BR/><BR/>it seems rather large, hope it works.

I would get as many blueberries as I could and make a blueberry pool, I'd dive into it (like Uncle Scrooge from "duck tales) and swim around in my blueberry vat. I'd look like Violet Beauregarde. <BR/><BR/>I hope you aren't working yourself too hard, you must enjoy the summer. It's good for your soul to not over do it. You really arent giving anything up by letting go of the promotion. It's good for your mental and physical well being. You'll get right back up there as soon as you're ready.<BR/><BR/>I love the pictures of the sunset, I wish I had a routine that involved nature on my way home from work. On the otherhand I do have a way shorter commute, I should probably ride my bike to work. <BR/><BR/>Despite your busyness you really take the time to stop and smell the flowers. (literally) You seem to have a great life balance and you should be proud of that.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906339754041926000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544894538213566355.post-28126522291003543542008-07-20T13:31:00.000-07:002008-07-20T13:31:00.000-07:00Beautiful photos as usual!

Plus what I am stepping down to is not much different. This whole cancer and hernia buisiness is overwhelming and patients deserve someone who can give them the upmost care, which i wont be able to offer while attending school. But everyday my work has given me valuable insight on humanity and taught me to understand so much about people and their lives, which I am extremely grateful for. Except, I really try to distance myself on my off time because I could become totally consumed with the stuff that happens there and let it control me. That is why my little sunset dates with Casey are so important to me, because I can shake most of it off and start fresh the next day. <BR/><BR/>Betty, I will bring you a jar next time I see you for sure!!!! I have been eating it with almond butter (another one of casey's scores, we have like 6 jars!) and it is addicting. Thank you for your super sweet words, they truly make my day!!! We miss you too, of course!<BR/><BR/>Ku! That is funny that your b-days are so close together!!!! I do have a lot left and I would love to make a pie. Lets see if I actually do it! I step down in a few weeks, so maybe I will then. You totally need a Zoji! I have a rice cooker, and my treasured bread machine. I got the r. cooker from Ebay, for about 50 bucks cheaper than market price, and it was brand new. You can make all sorts of stuff in it as well. Happy b-day again, and you really need to get away from Missouri it sounds like!!!! Come to Portland! Berries grow like crazy here!!!! They are spendy in the store still, but you can pick on farms for very cheap!!!!!! Thank you for your sweet words about that photo, that was taken on 4th of july and it was a very special moment!<BR/>Milkberry- thank you! I love it when people say Do your best!!!! I told a japanese patient that once when I worked at a LASIK clinic and he was very squeamish before his surgery and He laughed and asked me how much anime I watched! He was all sarcastic " I'll do my best, Holly" It was very funny<BR/><BR/>Mkate, I feel the same when I read your posts, I feel like what can I say!!!??? Everything you write about is beautiful and exotic to me and a lot of times I cannot think of words to describe it!!! <BR/><BR/>Buggins, thank you for your kind and supportive words, I know you know how it is!!! A lot of women I feel are way too hard on themselves because they feel like they must conquer everything and do it effortlessly. It is hard to break out of that cycle.bunbunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389459530117328836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544894538213566355.post-62187851634087571852008-07-17T14:52:00.000-07:002008-07-17T14:52:00.000-07:00NIGEL IS THE CUTENESS.

It's a beautiful cast of light that is actually somewhat difficult to capture traditionally... or so my photog-major friends always said. o.o<BR/><BR/>Blueberry free-for-alls are the stuff dreams are made of. :D Do you have any blueberries left? You could make blueberry pie... it's so expensive to get blueberries here, so I can't make even one. ;_; They won't even sell them at the store! I think blueberry pies are super-rare treats for all Missourians these days. :(<BR/><BR/>The Zoji machine has a JAM setting?
