I have been trying to carve out some time to write. I have words to say, but no direction in how to say them. And when that happens, I journal write or blog...so here I am. I want to write a book, I want to restart my current script, and I want to re-write my finished script, but all of these things take somewhat of a clear mind and little distraction. I also want to read the 4 books I have going right now, I want to paint my cute Halloween and holiday wood cutouts that I have sitting in my workshop waiting for me to play with. I also want to spend some quality time with my family. It is Fall Break this week at the U and Scott has the week off from school. I think I just have too much that I am wanting to do and it is overwhelming me. So plans, plans...I need to make a list!
On a different note, its a beautiful day!

Thursday's Word of the Day: Compassion
Today I have been thinking a lot about compassion and taking responsibility for the things that you say. Sometimes it is fun to be snarky, or to crack a non-pc joke. I do it, lots of people do it. However, I think that it is important to realize that while you think what you are saying won't hurt anyone, chances are when you say it in a public forum, you will hurt someone.
All I am saying is that a little compassion can go a long way. There is this great commercial from Liberty Mutual about responsibility. There are people who see other people struggling, or who have dropped something of value to them and then how people are responsible (compassionate) and help the people they see in need. It may not be a big deal to you, but it may mean the world to the person you are helping.
Ok, sounds preachy, but really I think that there is something to be admired about posessing the compassion quality. > I have been working on this my whole life and I hope that one day, that will be a trait that makes up me.
Happy Thursday!
PS - I got the Admin job over in Humanities! HOORAY!
