My kids will tell you that one thing that really upsets me is a messy house. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed because I just can't seem to keep caught up with it all.
I recall advice from someone who said, "If the task takes five minutes or less, just do it." Five minutes or less. As I look around, I see a lot I could accomplish in five minutes or less. What a difference that would make. I could complete 12 whole projects within one hour.
All those ten minute projects -- they'll just have to wait for another day.

"I Took a Moment...
from my day
Wrapped it up in things you say
Mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless..."
I was inspired by Phish's Velvet Sea when I entered the blog address for my online journal.
Watch for Trey's release of Shine in November.

An Amazing Day...
...in Vermont today. Temp in the low 80s, sunny skies.
George is taking the ferry to NY state, having a picnic and seeing the musical Oklahoma. This is an event of the VT Blind and Visually Impaired group, and Geo is going along. Our contact with this group has been wonderful...more about that another time.
I hear Adriene is dropping an Impressionist class now to take it in Spring when she goes to Paris. Smart move. I'm eager to hear how all her classes are going, especially with all the major changes on campus this year.
Tonite is Jenna's second evening volunteering in Pediatrics. She needed an application with references, 2 orientations, 2 visits for a TB test and check, another visit to get her picture ID and a "shadow day" before they let her work. Anyone going through all that certainly shows commitment. Fletcher Allen has a top notch Peds Dept, so it should be one terrific experience for Jenn. Maybe someday we will have a child psychologist in the family.
Oh, one of my links did not work. I fixed the html, and now it's working great. More links to come.
Jenn, you were the very first to publish a comment. Thanks, Mom

Entry #1
Okay, Jenna, Here I am...and you thought you'd never see me here.
I survived the 660 mile round trip taking Adriene to Aurora. It was actually a fun trip - each time it gets a little easier. Am so happy to know she is settling in, and that she has a very nice roommate. Am also glad that Jenna is IT person helping the 1st years get connected. I just know that this will be one terrific year for both.
Geo is out for tea with the guys. And I need to finish up my cases for August. Oh, I'm looking forward to happy vacation time.
Thanks to my family for all you do, and for making me proud, with love...
