Back to the Challenges

so as i was daydreaming around 3 this morning, overlooking texas from about 27,000 feet, it came to me that i've missed giving out the challenges. so i'm gonna try to update this blog with those weekly challenges.

but before i give out that challenge, a little update on what's been going on with my life. on friday i flew out to vegas, a.k.a. sin city, for a weekend full (well, for some it was full) of scrapbooking. not only was it scrapbooking-paloosa, but it was a beautiful weekend full of great conversations, wonderful food, and good ffun. my africa pictures are slowly beginning to take shape in my photo album, but the creative juices were flowing like molasses. it began as i started to sort and catergorize the photos: all the memories flooded my heart. i would just sit at my scrapbooking station and be dazed. being dazed doesn't promote creativity. i'm sure the other ladies were thinking some 'lovely' thoughts regarding my scrapbooking abilities. so needless to say, i have about 8 pages completely in my album, but at least it is started.

left vegas last night about 10 eastern time and got into town this morning around 5.30. had a little stop in salt lake. oh the joys of making lay overs! (denise really enjoyed coming to get me at the 'butt'-crack of dawn this morning.) i love flying. really, i love it. when i was 21 i worked for skywest airlines in santa barbara, cali. for a little over a year. it was an amazing year. the flying benefits which come from working for an airline ROCK! i remember flying from santa barbara to last vegas in order to have dinner with kimberly. then i'd catch the late flight back to santa barbara in order to be around for my opening shift at 4.45 am. (i don't think i could work those hours anymore - i'm too old for that!)

enough about the past - what can we do to make the future worthwhile? that's your challenge: to imagine what will make your life worthwhile and do it. it may be something simple like folding your family's laundry or planning a birthday party for a friend, but i want to challenge all of us to find something. for me, right now it means posting these ramblings in order to clean the bathroom.
