Same Stuff, Different Day

I don't know why it took me so long to realize (or perhaps just remember) that the ingredients for exciting opportunity are the same as the ingredients for overwhelming insanity. Solomon was right, there is nothing new under the sun! All of life problems boil down to the same few themes and no matter were you go here on earth, you'll be met with the same kinds of challenges. Yep, it really is same stuff, different day!
A friend of mine told me she hated it when I would say that, apparently it sounded depressing? I for one, am happy that if there's nothing new, at least it's a different day. I am happy that each day is a NEW day and new opportunity to put my trust in my Maker that He will bake those ingredients into the most grand and exciting adventure of them all!

Still Here With 10 Months to ABD!

No, I didn't fall off the face of the planet. I've been adjusting to my new job at Evergreen and working on my PhD stuff. The job is a little crazy right now as we are preparing for a JCAHO visit and we have a year's worth of competencies to catch up on.
School is as busy as ever, I'm just doing my best to keep up. I'm counting down the ten months (if all goes well) until I'll officially be ABD (all but dissertation). So until then, I'll just keep plugging away.
