Here is my journey to find out what makes me unmistakable, what brings me joy... and to release the thoughts in my head.

Statistically speaking

I think I am doing okay... :)

I have completed my first week back in class. I turned in my project early in Statistics, and am already working on the next one. My other class is just as good. :) I have been busy with work, and attended a great workshop the other day. Today, I was asked if I could squeeze in being part of the self- assessment team that we do as part of the Head Start program standards. I said sure, I have time. :) Then, when my supervisor went into the meeting to put together the teams, there was some discussion on who's team I would be on. Apparently, Anneli lost. I will be working on Program design and management with another supervisor. I felt honored. Whether or not I should. :)

I plan to post on other things over this weekend. But, I wanted to let you know, I am finding the JOY. It is part of how I am trying to live. It is in the frozen hair in my nostrils. I know, I know... But, really, there is something about knowing I have a warm house and hot food to eat.
JOY is in trying to read a book just outside of my knowledge range, and knowing that I can talk about it with some of my favorite folks. (Yes, Christie, I need to respond to the reading blog.)
JOY is going to Youth group in a couple of hours with Brian. Yes, church youth group, with my non-believing son. Hey, he is seeking peer interactions. This youth group meeting is a start. Especially when, GULP, he is hosting it. :)
JOY, folks, is my word, three weeks and going!

I don't know how you do it all. I truly don't!! Yet you do it. And to find JOY in it--why, that's the best part. I know what you mean about the book. It's HARD! I need to get reading so I can answer on the reading blog too. I'm cheering for you with the Statistics class. I know you will give it all you've got. I'll be cheering for Brian, the seeker too.

You are a multi-tasker person and i know you can handle things for yourself and for your family. Thank you for greeting me and Nate Tita in our six months anniversary. Well, i am so proud of Brian because he have lots of good intention in life. We talk almost everyday so i've got to know him.
