TGIF

Oh my.  So much has happened over the past week.  And I haven't even been able to debrief about the Biodynamics Conference!  

How Am I Trusting?

The little things in life.  Today I got home from work at noon and just starting picking up my house.  I changed my room around, ran errands in town, found a yarn store!  (That's a bad thing).  The weather was beautiful and I got to enjoy it with a 3 mile run.  What I always feel during those little things I can always trust. 


 How Am Grateful?

I am grateful for everyone in NY who has helped me make this my home.  Yesterday we all got together and had a Farmers' Thanksgiving.  It was great to be all together.  And I made sweet potato biscuits and eggnog.  Though the eggnog didn't come out to great - a little too thick.  But the biscuits came out awesome.  

Then, we went over to Chatty's house for a 2nd dinner.  That (surprisingly) was really, really enjoyable.  Mrs. Chatty is a wonderful, funny woman and she put on an amazing meal.  It was so nice and relaxing.  I had fun.
 

How Am I Inspired?

Cows!  Last night, Gertrude the Jersey (our only cow) had a calf.  SURPRISE!  Of course  it was never written down, and I am pretty ashamed that I never even noticed that she was bagging up.  Please, don't hold it think less of me.  

I decided that I either 1) had an answered wish of wanting a dairy cow or 2) that someone heard me tell my boss yesterday, "I get to sleep in tomorrow!"  After some running around this morning, trying to get equipment together and scare of having to milk a Jersey out by hand, I was able to milk a cow for the first time since June 29th, where I finally pulled off my "Dress Up Milking" (heals, dress, and all).  It brought a smile to my face.  I want to run a dairy farm.  

 How Am I Practicing My Faith?

I'll be honest - I haven't been good about meditating or working out since I was gone to Madison.  I think this week I've been putting my faith into work.  Trying to organize for the winter and plan for the future.  Putting my energy into work (which is something I can change and work at) allows me to have faith in other areas in my life - like relationships ::eyes rolling::
