Quickie Update

Just a quick update...

We are away this weekend and I am enjoying peace and quiet, which may seem a bit oxymoronic as our very chatty and busy daughter Nicole is along, but it's True!

I am going through blog withdrawal, though, because I have chosen not to connect to wireless service, because I am making a conscious choice to be present, not distracted and not pay the fee. In all honesty, in the past my primary motivation would probably be thriftiness (a kinder, gentler way of saying I am on the cheap side, but you probably know that by now...) but I can honestly say, all the inner turmoil of the past few days and prioritizing, choosing, establishing boundaries, etc. have make intentionality in decision making a much higher value for me, and I have chosen to be away from the distraction and magnetic pull of the computer.

There is a "business center" really a very lame tag for two computers stuck in a room at the very end of a hidden hallway where there is access, and I did find it, just to stay connected.

We are in the Poconos at a really beautiful Lodge and it is one of those incredibly beautiful fall weekends. Tianna stayed home to enjoy her first middle school social, a fall ball double header and a birthday party. Howie is speaking at this meeting and Nicole and I are enjoying the fringe benefits.

More later, we are off to a hayride and picnic.
Peace
