It has been over a week since I have written. I went to Denver over the weekend after a stressful work week. Jessica had a baby shower for her third child, a GIRL finally!, and I wanted to have an opportunity to see friends and spend time with family. The drive to Denver was stressful Friday night when I hit Vail Pass and all the ice that blanketed it. The night was dark and I couldn't see...I had a panic attack and decided to stay at the Frisco Best Western. I was all revved up and frustrated, but in the morning it was clear and beautiful. The weather was sunny and I was able to see the colors changing. It was a reminder to just breathe and everything will be okay.
I forgot my camera, of course. I got to Mom and Dad's around 11 and had an extended lunch. Mom and I went to the shower and it was sooooo good to be around such great people. Jessica is always a beautiful pregnant lady, and her family/friends are so kind and loving. The evening was busy...I had dinner with Jen and met my friend Kristin and her husband Greg at a local brewpub. She did take a picture which I will share...
Sunday morning I met Meg and Susan for coffee. We talked about work/life balance and stress...Susan said, "I think the key is to find the silver lining in everything." Words of wisdom, something I know but need to be reminded of now and again. I drove home and took the Grand Mesa exit. The colors on top of the Mesa were spectacular...and though I am kicking myself for not having my camera I at least have the experience and pictures in my head.
Being with friends and family reminds me to just breathe...and everything will seem a little more enjoyable!
