The Beginning

"Whether they realize it or not, many people approach computers and tablets with a state of mind less conducive to learning than the one they bring to paper."
The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: the Science of Paper vs. Screens from Scientific American

I stumbled upon this wonder of a quote as I frolicked through the wild flowers of Bullet Journaling tips and techniques.

How enlightening it is when we as tangible creatures can create tangible works of art (in any and all forms)!

Herein lies the beginning of my adventure in Bullet Journaling, and I hope to be able to share in the excitement and add to the plethora of helpful information once mine is completed...and USED!

Thank you Lord for the sense of touch.

"L'chaim!" - To Life!

Life, as I know it to be, is far too exciting and exhilarating to be paused only to write about the exciting and exhilarating moments it holds. That being said, I sit here in my 3rd-year-running-summer-job office with 90% of my work done, awaiting the next caller who's less-than-interested to set up the 3-minute inspection of the sewer drain in their basement (or, in the most recent case, a caller with the wrong number). And this exciting and exhilarating life is unintentionally paused for commentary, as I look back at my online journal and realize I haven't written a thing at all since my 2-year old nephew was born.

Well, good gravy!

I could sit here all day and recount the wonders of the last two years,
I wish I had taken the time to sit down and write the wonders and glories and blessings during these last two years
People say it all the time: A lot has happened in these last two years.
I learned a lot. I lived a lot. I learned and lived a LOT.

And now, I'm graduated!

I can answer the all-too-popular question of: "What's next, Liz?" because I've got a teaching job lined up for the Fall. My new mission? St. Catholic School in LittleTown, Minnesota.
I'm excited and exhilarated to share about the ups and downs, the successes and mistakes, the love and the life that unfolds in the next year.

So here's to life! Growing up and moving on.

Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of LIFE and the heart to share it.
