last Friday I was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by our Board…
I have been taking pictures of them ever since… so happy to have my camera back to do so…
today I trimmed the stems and put the flowers into a different vase…
flowers make me happy and taking pictures of them is very relaxing…

I’ve been having a bit of a giggle thinking about nametags…
when I started in my position, one of the most difficult things I had to do was figure out how to make nametags for events and I thought it was going to make me go out of my mind…
I can still remember walking back and forth to the printer again and again in an effort to get them done correctly…
last week I made my last set of nametags… the funny thing is they gave me about as much trouble as those first sets of nametags did…
for many years I haven’t had any trouble with nametags at all, so that made it even funnier as I thought about it…
there is always something that catches you up, lol…

yesterday WordPress sent me a note marking seven years since I started blogging…
time has flown past…
and dragged slowly…
this was the first blog I wrote…
since then I have posted 2,573 times and had 25,300+ views…
wow…
my life has changed in so many ways, big and small…
the next event will take place a week Thursday, when I leave the not-for-profit organization where I have worked for ten plus years… retirement… a big step on the journey…

going to leave it until the morning to sort out because not all that time was happy and I don’t want to have to struggle more today, lol…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…
first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…

more are getting buds;-)…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…
my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…
I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…
I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…
lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

AAA Downtown Dental Clinic, big girl pants, blessed, dentist, filling, memories, moments, walk, widow
had to go to the dentist for a couple of fillings… sad face…
I am seriously stressed by dentists, but go regularly so that I don’t have any problems… clearly had a very negative experience as a child and the fear has never left me…
I’ve been going to a specialized dental office for over twenty years and still I am nervous every time I go, lol…
the nerves at this appointment came because many years ago something happened when I was getting the freezing in my upper teeth… I mentioned it, and she changed the type of medication she used and then stood and chatted with me until it was time to start the procedure… clearly an attempt to keep me calm, lol…
got this shot as I was walking back to the office… felt much more relaxed as I passed by the Delta…

. soup, 10 years, beloved, big girl pants, family, flowers, memories, milestone, treats, widow, workplace
today marked ten years at my current workplace… a lot has happened in those ten years and these people are part of my family…
a big deal to me… and so I had lots of fun preparing for the day…
I wrote notes, distributed flowers, and made a lovely lunch of Thai Shrimp soup along with salad, fresh bread and tarts from La Belle Baguette for dessert…
not every day you can celebrate such a milestone…
it is such fun to walk around and see flowers everywhere;-)…
my beloved would have enjoyed helping me with this special event… I truly am blessed…
