It's amazing how I can still find myself almost busier than during my 70 hr work weeks. Finally back today though after a few days of catching up on rest while attempting to prolong the days as much as i can to fit in everything that i want and need to do.
Anyway, today is the one year anniversary that I have been with Lacrosse Unlimited of Danbury. This also amazes me - both how fast that year has gone by and how it really turned out to roll along. Life outta Mess. Real life. I can say it has been quite the experience. I always love to think and look back at how it REALLY went. Yes there were many days of stress, both mental and physical, but there are joys in the things I have learned and the people I have met which far outweigh them all. I decided this next year since it will be the first with this blog I will record keep these things much better as they come along. As always, i'm excited.
And the adventure definitely continues as I will be moving in a month in a half, yet still have no idea where to....part of the reason why my lack of keeping up on here, being preoccupied with trying to figure out the unknown. I know I just have to let it be, and what is, is.
Today was of course a baking day though. Pumpkin bread, for Miss Tinds, my friend Lindsay who will be having surgery on her back this upcoming week. Lindsay's favorite - which will also always have a place in our hearts as it was the first thing we indulged in (sent homemade by her mother) after doing a three day fruit detox freshman year at Mess. (how dumb?) but pretty entertaining all at the same time - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
