grad party and mother's day

Data:
Thursday: began Hobbit with kid I tutor, dined out with newly MBA course-work complete sister and Mom.
Friday night: micro-brewery and Symphony. It was good.
Saturday: 8 mile run, b-day breakfast at Cracker Barrel with Sis, mani & pedi, Grad party, drinks, failed venture to karaoke, dead tired.
Sunday: late arrival to church, dramatic entrance to front row (thanks, Mom), gourmet burgers, hilarity and hijinks, shopping at Tiffany's for S's grad present (very breakfast at tiffany's), desert with Aunt, siblings and Mom.

Analysis:
I've reached a work-life balance by accident/necessity. I'm starting to sift the center from the margins as an act of survival. It's good for me to be busy. My brain is still in hyperdrive, but I don't have the downtime to freak out. Note to self: running/training is something I cannot cut out and maintain sanity.

People are the one thing that the Bible states are in the image of God. How do I live that?

I'm excited about Summer Vacation but already dreading how brief it will be... and how busy I'll be. I need to learn how to pluck the day from my friends who live very much in the now. Being present is a spiritual discipline.

I gave a killer toast to my sister.

Due to my lack of internet, I'm very behind in my communication with very dear friends.

I really enjoy my family. I'm realizing how lucky I am to say that.
