Wedding


There we are some 35 years later standing at the same doorway where we became one! Two of our girls walked the same aisle as we did........may there lives be as happy and blessed as ours has been.

Creating a blog

It was too easy! That's all there is to it??
I am excited to create and share a library student worker blog this fall. I can see us blogging about coming events, projects we are working on (seminary books, interfiling sem books, adding seminary patrons, etc.) and sharing information about student worker departments and tasks. Perhaps here is where we can share our weekly updates with the students.

Personally I hope to blog with my grown children. Perhaps sharing family updates together on the one site, verses email or texting. And to think that their mom was the first to family blog!!

The hardest of the 71/2 habits...

I think my greatest challenge is my lack of confidence in myself and sometimes my abilities. Working with 30 student workers and being perhaps the oldest among my colleagues here in the library, I am technology challenged nearly every day! These young-ones are amazing! Their abilities amaze me. I ask my own 3 young adult children "how do you know that?? Who taught you that??" They look at me with confusion and often respond, "I just do it. Try, mom, you can do it......just try!" So with a deep breath and tish of excitement..........here we go!! I've already proudly shared with them that I am now a blogger, soon to be twitter and they celebrated my accomplishments with praise and encouragement!!

71/2 habits....

I have the past few years tried to maintain the attitude that problems are challenges that can be met head on with a positive attitude. Why be grumpy, as my mom always says. Anyone can do that!! Be positive, be happy and enjoy just today. At the end of the day, be sure you can look back without regret and afirm that today was a good day.
