Wow... powerful words..... I have the Nascar race on , and they just interviewed car owner Rick Hendrick, and he was praising his "team" of drivers, crew chiefs, and all the "worker bees" that make up the racing garage. I am so impressed by Mr. Hendrick. He is so personable, and the members of his team are completely enamored by him, yet he is very humble.
Mr. Hendrick is one of those persons, you hope (that in some portion of your life,) you could influence the world as he has. (yet remain such a humble person). Mr. Hendrick has had his many "crosses to bear" himself. He is a Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor, he has grieved over the loss of his son in a tragic airplane accident, yet never ceases to be that "one person" you look up to and want to be like!
Of course, in the NASCAR race, it is the ultimate in DRAMA!!! In today's race @ Dover, Delaware, Joey Logano (in the Home Depot car) just rolled his cart 7 and 1/4 times in a major wreck, and essentially "walked away" . What a testament to the safety of these cars!!! AMAZING!!
AHIMA Dallas update: I got all my slides, and case studies e-mailed back to AHIMA for conference. Wow.. the 1 week countdown has begun. I am so nervous, I am about to jump outta my skin! We fly out on Saturday, and I teach on Sunday... then I have all day on Monday to SCHLEP AROUND DALLAS! We fly home on Tuesday... I am looking forward to the mini-vacation tho... I really think I need one.
I'm still feeling a bit "dis-jointed" and not sure what is on the horizon. I feel that something is calling me, but I'm not sure what it is.... I hope God reveals it to me soon... I hate this feeling of "restlessness". I do so much better if I have a goal and a purpose. Just praying!!
The first days of fall have been very nice! We've been up to nearly 90 degrees, but it has been getting cool at night. I'm not sure how much longer my tomatoes in the garden will survive. I've picked a few of them, hoping they'll green up on the counter. It has been such a blessing to have fresh tomatoes, peppers and onions. I can see why people have "greenhouses" in the winter. What a luxury! I pulled the last of my onions out a couple of days ago, and we ate those up immediately. I still have some "green" tomatoes on the vine and am praying the warm weather holds out long enough to get them ripe.
I still have lots to do for my Dallas trip. I need to get new business cards printed up, and also to get the E&M sheets laminated. It seems I always have lots to do, and not enough time... I need to learn to prioritize better! but I'm not holding out a lot of hope, I seem to be able to fill up my time with all kids of other activities... Who's to decide what is "right" and what is "wrong", vs./ what is truly "necessary".
Tomorrow is Mike's b-day. I am not sure what I'll do to celebrate, but if I can, I think I'll make him a meatloaf... that is his "favorite" food. Me... not so much! We've been together for 29 years.. so hard to believe sometimes... We've been married longer than either of us was single. and not an "ex" between us!
Since I'm still a "little out-there"... I guess I'll just lean back on my favorite "life" quote... Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Luvs....
