Sometimes life sends you a curve ball!


I don't know about you,  but sometimes life throws you a curve ball! Just received one at the end of June when a work associate became sick.  By the first week in July she was diagnosed with brain cancer! Wow-- does that make a mind spin. It just so shows me to count each day, because tomorrow may not be yours.

This created opportunities for growth and challenge for each of us in the library.  I certainly felt the difference in air velocity, and the low and high pressures that changed the direction of the ball. My days became longer
but knowing that you were making a difference in circumstances made it also rewarding.

In the midst of changes and planning I had to take time to finish book club books. Inevitably, they had someone experiencing cancer or death. Books can be therapeutic and at this time that is what I found. Friends and loved ones were also there and they were definitely therapeutic for me as well.

With this time frame in mind --- don't forget to smell the roses, watch the sunset, and sleep in once in a while, tell others you love them, and give them a hug too.
