Weekend

This weekend I saw my sister get married. I was happy to see her excited and ready for this new life ahead of her. I thought about all of us starting our new part to our life with this program. I know we are all stressed out, but we can help each other through.

Playing

I was reading in Pink's book about work and play. When I read the part about Ford saying that work and play is a toxic combination. I couldn't imagine my job without play. We spend most of our time working and if we didn't play how stupid would the day be. I have found myself rolling down hallways on tables, goofing off with kids, and palying jokes with coworkers. I believe work and play should go hand in hand.

Abundance

Reading the section in Pink's book on abundance really had me thinking about what is important in life. I have never been one to love material things, but I occasionally enjoy nice things. When I read that Americans spend more on trash bags than ninety other countries spend on everything I was blown away. And how about designer toilet brushes! I find myself getting caught up in the more "stuff" race and looking back on those times it makes me angry I submitted myself to this. I wonder if we will shift from abundance as we search for meaning in life?
