Work.

Today I spent most of my time at my computer - working on some new projects for The Teacher's Corner.

We did manage to have some fun in the evening.  We had our monthly family dinner.  And as always, Renee and Dave did an AMAZIMG job!  We had a great surprise - my mom and dad were there.  I think they probably had  mixed feelings about being able to join us.  They were hoping to be in the wheat field harvesting, but due to rain they've been receiving, they haven't been able to get in the fields.  The whole family was together for a great evening.

Isn't it amazing how resilient plants can be? At least this is the case for the ones who get stuck living at my house. After taking this photo and watering the plant, I continued to work at my desk. Within about 20 minutes I kept hearing these weird, little noises. I finally realized that it was the plant. The stems were beginning to stand back upright. It made me wish I had taken video of the entire process or some stop motion photography. Maybe next time...I know I will probably be late watering it again.

Coming back into my office after the plant was back to it's usual self, I realized I was pretty similar to the plant. There's times when I feel rundown, out of energy, or just in a "slump." It never fails though; someone or something comes along and re-energizes me, helping me get ready for the next challenge.
