Middle of July

Can you believe that we are halfway through July and 2009 already? Half of this year is over and there are only six months before 2010 rolls around. That’s nuts. It seems like just yesterday I celebrated the beginning of the millennium…much less rung in 2009 in New York earlier this year. And now, I’m sitting in front of my computer complaining about the first half of 2009 passing me by. Where has all the time gone? Man, I feel like an old person reminiscing about the past. But…damnit…I’m right this time. It seems like I blinked and half of the year just flew by. I don’t care what anybody says, that’s crazy.

So what do I have planned for the rest of my year? With only another half a year to go before another year passes me by, I need to make sure that the rest of the year is everything I want it to be. Granted, the first half of 2009 has been pretty good so I don’t have any major complaints…but I am just working to keep it like that. I have a few vacations planned over the course of the next six months that I’m looking forward to…and I’m hoping that I can add one or two more to that list as well.

As for this week, I’m leaving for a mini-vacation tomorrow and hoping that I can enjoy some time away from the daily grind. Work has been testing my patience the last few days and I need to get away to calm myself and get refocused. I’ll be spending some time outdoors immersing myself in nature and enjoying the beauty of the earth…ok well maybe that’s a little over the top, but bottom line is I have the chance to get away for awhile and relax…which I’m super excited about.

So with that said…I’m off.
