Trying to get back to normal...

Well, the past two weeks have been NUTS...first a week of mid-terms and no running, and then this past week was a week at a conference for work and no running.

So now I am hopefully getting back to "normal" and will have plenty of time to iron a regular run-schedule.

The conference I went to (HR Southwest) was really fantastic. It was fun of course, and also educational. And it was also like trick-or-treating for adults--there was an expo there and each booth had giveaways, so I definitely came home with way more than I got there with!

A few things said by our keynote speakers have really stuck with me so I thought I'd leave one of them here as food for thought:

Busyness has become a symbol of status in our society. When someone starts to tell us they only slept for three hours the night before and have a busy day ahead of them we get into a busyness competition sometimes...we retort back, oh yeah well I ate breakfast, did my make-up, and answered 10 work e-mails while driving to work...puh-lease. I hate this and I get it from some of my class-mates all the time, not so much my co-workers, though.

Today, let's sloooooow down and be fully present in the present!
