Chil’s Point of View….

Last week, I was happy that I did not have to attend a Saturday class. It was one of those fronted loaded classes which would meet the whole day Saturday, and had a 3 day (away from home) retreat built in. It was amazing how having this one class would pretty much take my weekend – having to wake up early on the weekend, and then be learning the whole day through 4:30 pm. I would come back home exhausted. The class was taking place in Seattle, as opposed to the Bellevue campus where I take most of my classes, so it would add another 30 minutes to my commute.

Although the class was pretty cool, and dealt with learning about emotions and being aware of them, I am glad I have my Saturday back; I am excited – so that I can catch up with yard work, and all the other chores around the house. Since we came back from the Zambia/Kenya trip, I have not had a chance to do any spring-cleaning. It may seem weird that I am excited about doing house chores, but I have gotten used to doing yard work – and it also builds on my new year’s resolution.
