      These are things that I used to think of on the last day of school when the teacher would say this to me. So excited and chomping at the bit for summer vacation to begin with so much to look forward too.
      I had and instructor say this to me last night as I left class. It was not exciting, it was depressing. I found myself caught by surprise by her statement. It left me thinking about snow, the impending summer semester, and sad that even though the semester was over I still had to get up and go to work tomorrow. It left me wishing I could be a kid again.

Slow and steady FINiSHES the race.

Aaron and I are training to run the Farmington Festival Days 5k race.

We figured we would give ourselves plenty of time to train.
And use the title as a family motto, running, school, church etc.I figure it is generally applicable, after all why rush into things?

My look must have said it all

yesterday when a patient asked me for a phone book. She laughed at me. Looking back on it today I'm sure that I had a blank look on my face.

What in the WORLD lady do you need a phone book for? I have one word for you GOOGLE.

A generational gap perhaps?

Life and TiVo

Wouldn't it be grand if we could pause the moments and times in our lives that we wish could last just a little longer? Like Christmas morning, or summer vacations, or even weekends.

It would be amazing if we could rewind an event, situation, or even conversation that wasn't perhaps our most shinning moment, and redo it.

It would be wonderful if we were simply able to fast forward through all the difficult times in life, a lame semester of school, hard economic times, illness, and any other times that if given the choice we would rather skip straight through.

Ahh that we all could come with our own TiVo remote. (I'm pretty sure that I would be in fast-forward mode today.)

Character is overrated anyway... Right?
