My hope is that their testing proves that this is a very good idea.

Low Key
Tumultuous and whirlwind are two words I've used recently to describe the past month. I've been so happy this past week to have my feet firmly planted on the freezing cold Massachusetts sidewalks (perhaps more so, however, on the hardwood floors in my apartment). Yes, it's cold here today... again. BUT, it's sunny! What more can a girl ask for? I'm thankful.
I've taken the past week to catch up on my life and have not missed the office for a second. Proudly, I've refrained from email (well, maybe I sent one... but, only one!) and have stuck to a regimen of sleeping, accomplishing some very overdue items on my personal to-do list, cleaning the apartment (which I happen to love... I know that might sound crazy to some of you), seeing and calling friends, reading and catching up on my DVR. Love it.
Yet, my suitcase isn't completely unpacked. I think I'll do that today. Somewhere in my brain I think I might actually believe that I have to leave again on another trip, but nope, I should really unpack! I'm staying put for a few weeks at minimum and it is a glorious thing. I've decided that this is a good way to begin 2008.
Oh, Happy New Year! Can you believe it's 2008??? Amazing.
I don't know what I hope for life this year, but I'm excited about what God has in store. Given what the past month has brought, I'm waiting to see what the Lord has for me in and through what has happened. I do love the idea of a new year. Not because of resolutions or anything like that, but maybe because there is potential in the months ahead for something new, surprising, challenging and growing. Whatever the case, I am grateful for the way I've begun it - first a little hectic and now looking back over the past week realizing that I've done something well... I chose to rest when I knew I needed it. That is a good first step for a hopeful New Year.
