Good morning.
Though it is another rainy day in MN, I am struck by how green everything is. Wow. Vibrant green. Now, if the sun comes out - two of my most favoite colors competing for the sky around me. Blue and green. Can't wait.
Though the last few weeks have been extremely stressful, I am feeling pretty good about my eating habits. I didn't gain any weight - in the past I would have packed on the pounds. I continue to lose and am thankful for it.
We had a huge annual meeting yesterday at the company where I am employed. I was asked to make the floral arrangements. Something they all know I LOVE to do. What fun! The therapy this task provided is unmeasurable. I also was asked to get door prizes. Yay! Retail therapy on someone else's dollar. The flowers on their dollar too. The only perimeters I had were that the flowers be all white and elegant. Oh yeah...I can to that! White roses, spider mums, delphineum, lilies, hydrangeas, baby's breath, accented with Lady's mantle and teeny lime green poms. Gorgeous. I completed the arrangements with black "tuxdeo" bow ties. I must say...they were nice! 14 arrangements in all. A huge undertaking and very successful. At the end of the event four large bouquets went to award winners, five to members of the event committee, and the rest to admirers. A very satisfying project.
Today is is back to the normal grind. Which in the scope of the events of the world is a blessed 'grind'. I work from home two days a week. Today is one of them. No pressure. Just get the work done. Nice.
We continue to search for sweet Mandy - my neighbor girl who has been missing since May 1st. Her boyfriend committed suicide when called in for questioning of her disappearance. She was last seen with him...and has not been seen since. Now he is dead and left no clues as to her whereabouts. So we continue to do all we can to bring her home. Please keep Mandy's family in your prayers. Life is true HELL in their home. Three vibrant and beautiful women in Mpls, missing - at the hands of the men who loved them. We have found two of the three women in the past week. We look forward to finding Mandy soon.
Have a healthy day...and hug your loved ones extra tight today.
