I am an ‘ISFJ’ (according to the Myers-Briggs type indicator). I am ‘Introverted’, ‘Sensing’ (meaning that I look at things as black and white, concrete), ‘Feeling’ (meaning I base my decisions on feelings – how I feel or how it will make someone else feel), and ‘Judging’ (meaning I need order and structure in my life). It has been immensely helpful for me to understand these things about myself as […] Read More
It’s been a challenging week at work. Very challenging. My boss was out of the office at training so that left me ultimately responsible for the office. Every day something was thrown at me that I had to deal with. While it was stressful a lot of the times, I actually feel good about the week. With each ‘challenge’ thrown at me, I was able to address the issue and […] Read More
The thing about anger is…it takes a lot of energy to sustain it. After I’m finished with being angry and frustrated, I feel really tired. It feels like there’s a hole left behind after the anger is gone. An emptiness. Feelings of anger are replaced with feelings of defeat. Did all the being angry really accomplish anything? Why do I get angry? Is it a learned behavior? Is it a […] Read More
Last night, I saw Riverdance in Regina. It was amazing! I’ve seen it on TV, listened to the music, and absolutely loved it. It was the one show that has come to Saskatoon that I had regretted not seeing (but at the time I couldn’t justify $90 a ticket to see it). It’s one thing to see it on TV but it’s something else to […] Read More
Right now I’m chatting on MSN messenger, trying out this new blog editor, Windows Live Writer, and NOT doing the work I said I was going to do for my day job. I’m really swamped right now at work and have been trying to put in an hour of work every night to try to catch up (being sick a couple weeks back put me further behind than I already […] Read More
It turns out I have been sick all week long and I’m still sick. I am sick of being sick! I haven’t been getting a lot of uninterrupted rest and everyone in our family has gotten sick, so it’s been hard to recover from what I’ve got. I feel better now than I did on Monday and Tuesday, but the sad thing is my ‘feeling better’ is what I would […] Read More
I was sick yesterday and I was sick today and…I’m not feeling any better yet. I slept for most of the day and still I feel just as bad as I did this morning. I’m not used to this. Usually, I don’t get really sick and the worst of it usually lasts about a day. Then I can go back to work. Not so today. And I feel guilt, GUILT, […] Read More
My husband said today, “You should blog more often”. I agree. I asked, “What should I blog about?”. He said, “Life.” It’s easy enough to blog about the everyday things happening in my life (although it seems awfully boring to me at times). Life seems to be about going to work during the week, resting on the weekend and getting back at it on Monday morning. I’m still enjoying my […] Read More
I just started reading a book called “Furious Pursuit: Why God Will Never Let You Go” by Tim King & Frank Martin and I ran across this passage that really made me stop and think: “What would happen if you woke up tomorrow morning and flipped on the news only to learn that God had just announced that everyone on earth was saved?… “If you knew for certain that no […] Read More
This is the theme running through my head over and over lately: 2008 will be different. The last 3 months of 2007 were so intense I couldn’t see the sky above me as I felt like I was drowning in too many things on my plate. I don’t think I’ll be in that same position this year. True, there will be seasons where there will be a lot on my […] Read More
