welcome. so here is the list of refreshments for saturday's sha-bang. free coffee, courtesy of coffee depot, avocado bruschetta (if i can find a recipe), spinach balls, apples and fruit dip, cream puffs, punch. doesn't that make you want to come! so i am taking a break from photo-editing. i need some professional advice on how to not sit at the computer because my shoulders ALWAYS hurt. i had a great day today (minus the 4 hours i was at work!)...i went for a run after work and listened to tony evans-who is amazing-on my ipod while i ran. his talk was about making the most of your time and opportunities rather than waiting around for your dreams and desires (he was primarily speaking of marriage) to fall into your lap and being miserable because you're stuck waiting. it made me think about going to florida as a kid and inevitably asking..."are we there yet?" way too often. i think i ask God a lot "are we there yet?" i think if i actually though through things i wanted to accomplish and separated those from what i cannot control and acted upon that which i can control, maybe, i wouldn't ask THAT question nearly so often. i want my life to count; i don't want to look back and think, "wow, i've accomplished very little in the last 5 years because i was waiting around for opportunities to just fall into my lap." how sad! so i'm going back to that list of "things i really want to do before i die" and i'm going to add to them and i'm going to evaluate which ones are possibilities for this season of my life. and i'm going to pursue doing them. and as far as i can help it, i'm going to choose to spend my time in meaningful ways. maybe that means saying NO to people's expectations of me. i have to answer for my life, no one else can do that. okay, enough rambling...back to editing.
