Guys, I wish I had a better memory. Paula has had some amazing antics this week that have made me laugh so much.

That was entirely the purpose of this blog when I first started. 

But now that I sit down to write these "unforgettable moments" guess what happened?

I know that there have been instances at home. I know there have been instances at work. 

And I'm kind of crushed that those memories are already gone. Some were even just today. But they were so small and simple and well-timed, that at the time it only felt natural.

Isn't that just the way life is sometimes?

We remember feeling slighted by a coworker, or the stress of a busy day. 

But it's those small, natural, and easy moments that get forgotten. Yet those are the ones that can really make life worth living if we are willing to pay attention to them. If we are willing to take the time to savor them and remember them.

Life is full of good times.

I know I need the reminder to cherish these times more often.

The Song of My People

This week, Paula had some new antics. These days it isn't very often she does something new and memorable like this. 

So I work at a bank, right?

There are security guards that come through every so often and make updates with technological devices. Truth be told, I'm sure exactly what or what they were making note of, but I do remember the device making a little singing noise.

At which point the security guard says, "Yes, sing me the song of your people."

OF COURSE Paula had to make herself known. She always feels called to sing the song of her people, whether invited to or not.

It did bring a rousing round of laughter to a slow day at work, though.

All the New Things

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. Sure, it was Labor Day and I had Monday off work. And it was awesome. My husband and I went out to the local hot springs in Thermopolis, Wyoming and it was fantastic. 

However, coming home, the front passenger tire decided to disconnect from the car. Sure, we were going slow, turning off the highway and only a few blocks from home, but Tuesday I was still a bit shaken from the accident, but it was busy, so the whole day was a struggle. 

Luckily, I survived and got myself a new desk! I've been using my kitchen table, but this beautiful desk is an antique. Over 100 years old and just stunning. It could use a bit of love, but I happen to have a handy husband who will do wonderful things to it!

I also realized that things are going to start creeping up on me, so I'm going to need to get my life more organized and start promotion for both the Reader's Escape in Paris, as well as the Kickstarter to promote the launch of my first novel. 

I can't tell you how excited I am about this book and how much I love the progress it has made since hiring people to take care of things for me. I'm so thrilled to have all of this happening!
