Back to Work

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. -St. Augustine

I saw this on one of the blogs I follow and I had to copy it. It is sooo true!

Can't say it was too busy at work today. Mary was off on a personal day. Her daughter was back from her training in Toronto so I'm sure that's why. I missed her. Cathy (another one!) was taking her place. I like Cathy. She is from Duluth/Superior originally but has been in Thunder Bay over 30 years.

Cory dropped by the office. He and Jen had just returned from the hospital. Jen had an appointment with the OB/GYN. Cory said the baby is very active. Also, Jen finally put some weight on. Good...

Dan goes back tomorrow. He was only home a week and will work a week of overtime. I just hope it doesn't wear him out too much.

Outside my window... cloudy, very windy and mild, about -2C
I am thinking... about how tired I am today
I am thankful for... the day
From the kitchen... we had sandwiches so no cooking smells...
I am wearing...sweats and sweatshirt
I am creating... not much
I am going... hit the head
I am reading... Nora Roberts still
I am hoping... Brenda can help Dan
I am hearing... the TV - CSI
One of my favorite things... sitting with my husband
A few plans for the rest of the week... bowling, of course and maybe out for dinner with Jean on Friday
I am sharing...(add your picture here)

That's all for today....
