Day 7: Midway, Halfpoint, Glass Half Full

day 7 [9.9.09]:

So we're halfway thru our journey before our next new beginning. Life is full of new beginnings and I tend to try to avoid them. I'm making the commitment on 9/9/09 to better embrace new opportunities. So many times we see these changes as obstacles instead of opportunities. This is a choice. There are obstacles amidst opportunities, but I would much rather enjoy the benefits then be limited by the obstacles.

In thinking about my next career step, I would ideally like to work in a team atmosphere. I find that I thrive off of hearing ideas from others and combining those with my own ideas. I feel that this strongly enhances my own work and the work as a whole. I'm currently exploring what options may be available that will promote collaboration with colleagues in the org development field.

Today, we traveled in a pretty uneventful trip from St. Louis to Chicago. We were greeted by King Jody II, the new 16 week cockerspaniel. So cute!! we had a yummy dinner of ribs, wings, sweet potatoes, greens, and coleslaw. We also visited with Martin's VERY proud grandma. I just loved her spirit. What a nice woman to be around! Go visit with your older family members- they have so much wisdom and stories to share!!

And on a side note... whatever side you fall in politics- i think it is SO TACKY to bring signs and yell out inappropriate remarks while in a congressional meeting. I would not go into an office meeting and hold up hand-written signs and scream that my CEO is a liar, even if I believed it. What happened to class, integrity, and professionalism? I suppose that doesn't apply in politics? I didn't agree with decisions that previous presidents have made, but to try immature and obnoxious tactics to discount and discredit someone is so ridiculous. I'm so IRRITATED by what is happening in politics today...
