Drive home for Thanksgiving with the companionship of a good friend- 12 hours later and we still like each other- a whole weekend and another 12 hour drive- amazingly enough- we still like each other.
Turkey with all the trimmings
Redwoods, wineries, beaches, San Francisco- Chinatown, wharf, Ghiradelli, sun, blue sky, family...
Leaking tire leading to an unexpected expenditure of 2 new tires
Finishing the Twilight series and hating to admit- it is an entertaining story
Consulting with the dancers at Salt Lake Ballet conservatory
A ginormous purple bruise on my leg from choreographing a dance for the ward talent show tomorrow night. Worried that A) I'm not a good enough dancer, B) the dance isn't good enough or C) people will think I'm crazy because it is another tortured love story. (It's what I do best... always autobiographical- unfortunately)
Still struggling to find balance
Work is better because I was finally able to get my manager to agree to change my schedule. Starting and ending an hour earlier Tues and Thurs. No more home at 8pm.
Wondering if, with the low morgage rates and slowed market, should I buy a house?- the next 12 months would be the time...
Heather Kenna's first birthday- a family dinner- yeah, I really like my family.
Dying for more sleep...
Good Night!

Quotes
"You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed, as your deed is, so is your destiny." Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.5 (Translated by Eknath Easwaran.).
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." Goethe
" I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt, or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." Goethe
"Being committed to place ourselves in an environment that we know will make us grow and teach us about our deepest selves builds character, strength, and courage. We soon find ourselves in the habit of growth and find that "we’ve arrived" by our mere presence on the path. We find ourselves at home in the heat of our own refinement." Scott Moore
"The last thing the world needs is another perfect Downward Facing Dog pose. What the world does need is another open heart." Judeth Lasater
