Spring awakening

Spring arrived overnight. I see bluebonnets everywhere and cannot wait until I have some spare time to grab my camera and capture them through my lens. I think I may take my pups out to play in them as well.

We have been on 2 cruises in the last 2 months. You would think we were vacationed out but, no. We have several camping rips already scheduled and have booked another Smooth Jazz cruise for 2013. Thankfully, we both love to travel. It is an amazing escape from reality.

I changed jobs between cruise number one and cruise number two. It was a simple twist of fate that my manager came to me with an opportunity to change to another clinic in our same building. Having been very unhappy with my job for quite some time, I jumped at the chance. Turns out, it was a really good move. I have so much more autonomy with this clinic not to mention education opportunities. Plus, one of the clinics I travel to is 7 minutes from home. I am much happier now and have even gotten comments from friends that I seem happier. I don't think I realized just how unhappy I really was.

Next weekend I am accompanying my physician to an investigator meeting for a research project. It is an all expenses paid trip. I'm excited to be a part of it. I now feel appreciated and like what I do matters.

There are still many personal life woes going on with Sissy, but without the added stress of my job, I can now focus more clearly on what needs to be done.

I am ready for summer and spending time with our sweet Moo girl. It is hard to believe she will be 5 in a couple of months. Time has flown by so quickly. It feels like yesterday I was holding this precious little newborn and now she can actually reason with me on and intelligent level.

Today, life is good and I learned many years ago to grab all the good you can get for tomorrow it may be gone.
