I have been thinking about starting this blog for awhile. I just have not had the time to sit down and get it started. I am forced to listen to a 2 hour training on US Export Controls so I decided it would be the perfect time to listen to this required training and figure out how to start this blog. I really don't plan on exporting anything to Pakistan so I don't think I need to give it my full attention. If I wind up in jail someday, everyone who read this post will be saying "She really should have listened to that international traffic in arms regulation training" instead of figuring out how to start a blog.
The purpose of this blog is going to be to serve as a gratitude journal of sorts for myself. My life is so busy and I am hanging on by a string on pretty much a daily basis. I have come to the conclusion lately that I have been thinking about this all wrong. I keep waiting (and working) for something to happen: to graduate, to pass that test, to get married, to have kids, to get through that day, week, month or even year, to advance in my career and the list goes on and on. Lately, I have been wondering if my drive has been all wrong. In my head, it is always about getting through it and finishing. Although those have been important events and milestones in my life -My total life is really about the ordinary events on a daily basis. I need to take some time and appreciate those ordinary moments, not just get through them.
That's my plan, love it or leave it!
