Happiness is ... rose buds

Looking out the window, I see legions of rosebuds, poised to flood us with color.

The anticipation of beauty yet to come ...

Reflections

It's easier to reflect when you have a list of questions you want to answer or at least reflect on.

It is harder to reflect when you have the internet at your disposal to distract you from those questions.

Do you do your homework?

How well do you prepare before events? Do you study, read over, put things in writing before you get there?

I'm sitting at SOBCon08 (Successful Outstanding Bloggers Conference) 2008, and I may be the only one here with pages of homework. I studied the agenda, and tried to bring some completed work on each planning element we would be covering.

I know you don't have time. You have to make time and choose to do the right thing and do the thing right.

Happiness is ... packing?

Happiness is packing for a trip you are eagerly anticipating. And the prospect of seeing some good friends again or for the very first time.

Happiness is ... cool breeze in the morning

Sleeping with the window open and waking up with a cool breeze over me. Smell those apple blossoms? Feels like ... camping.

Then Twittering and writing blog posts in the morning air, without getting out of bed. :)
