Who You Are Is What You Do Everyday

2013/04/02 Gayle 1

The Difference between Who You Are and Who You Want to be is What You Do. I stumbled upon this quote recently. I’m not exactly sure where or from whom. It resonated with me. It resonated so much that I wrote it on my blotter – I wanted to keep it close – to be reminded. As I am training for what I am calling my EPIC QUEST (walking a marathon – that’s 26.2 miles folks), I have a certain amount of solitary walking time. Time to think. Time to ponder. On one of those recent walks I decided I needed to add a word to the quote. I needed to add the word EVERYDAY. The one thing I am learning from The rest of the story

It’s Life not a Math Problem (or is it)

2012/03/02 Gayle 0

A few weeks ago I sat in my office and listened to Jenn tutoring math. The subject was either calculus or algebra, to be honest I wasn’t really paying attention, I was doing my own work. However, I suddenly hear Jenn ask, what do these triangles have in common. Before I could stop myself I shouted, ‘they’re both triangles’ and everyone laughed. Since that day I have considered how often I use math on a daily basis. As the kid who was once told by a teacher I was ‘too stupid’ to do math, I avoid the topic as much as possible. (Just for the record, thank to the encouragement of the next year’s teacher THIS ‘too stupid’ kid took and passed several advanced math The rest of the story

As I was sayin- OH LOOK! a Squirrel

2011/09/20 Gayle 1

Sometimes the hardest thing about writing a daily blog is figuring out the topic. Once there is a topic, then it is really just a matter of getting my facts, photos, etc, etc. The writing usually comes easy for me – I have the gift of gab However today, as I started to write I received a phone call; which I handled and then set back to my writing. Then I saw an email come in, something very important that was / is past due; I jumped to handle it. Next a text message came in about an event I am attending tonight. Soon half my day was gone and I still only had my topic and research toward my blog post. As much The rest of the story

Is Your Life Routine?

2011/03/05 Gayle 0

It is easy for life to become routine. The problem with routine is that we stop noticing the world around us. It becomes easy to miss things when you see them daily. It also becomes easy to take people and things for granted. For example, when a relationship is new and different, it is almost impossible to not be aware of the other person. The newness of the relationship makes it all new and different.
