Timing Is Everything!

Last Friday I had a very nice surprise.

I had just checked my teacher mailbox at school to find

a card addressed to me.

The first thing I noticed was the return address because...

it was MINE!

At first I thought that maybe Mel Rae had sent me a little love note!  

NOPE!

After much thinking a wracking my brain about why I had sent myself a card, 

I remembered that on my last CITES training in Park City, we each wrote a note to ourselves.

At the time, I thought it was a very weird activity.  

BUT...

I'm here to tell you that it was one of the coolest things I've experienced.

WHY??

Well, on a personal note, I have been struggling lately.  I'm feeling sluggish, chubby (Ha!).  I'm feeling really down on myself and exhausted since the first day of school.  In short, I've been having

a pity party for one that is going on way too long.

I need to change.

I need to pull it together.

Surprisingly...my little card that someone at the meeting

had held onto since May, might just have me on my way.

Timing really is everything.

Oh...and I mailed myself a dollar for the day which will buy

exactly two cans of Diet Coke.
