Squirrel on a Bike

Yes the squirrel was on a bike, alone..but I guess I should mention the bike was on its side with no one around.  Still, with all the squirrels on my jogging trail, it was nice to see one on a bike versus climbing yet another tree!  Of course this was two days ago.  I just haven't had time to write.  I'm attempting to change that, because I do love it and my life has been changing for the better these days.  


So my thoughts have focused on this idea of "ours", but I can't mention it yet....Sorry!  (It was a thought I had and felt the need to mention to reinforce or confirm the title of the blog!)  I was able to "generate" a lot of good things tonight so I'm anxious to get it going asap. 


Tomorrow I give my Adult Learning Theory Presentation.  I love training and am honestly not sure what to expect, but the presentation is done and I'm hoping it will lead to bigger and better things.  If not, I'll find my own path as I tend to do.  


So I went to Houston last weekend and had 4 full days of learning.  Yes, I was in (what felt like) class all day at ACRP, but I met new people, had some different food, and got to see my bosses that I never see.  I also decided that I want to present at this conference next year.  I saw some different styles and ACRP offers a lot of room for topics.  I know I'll stick to training, but there's still a lot of opportunities within that.  Oh, and our Chapter mixer was a success which was a great way to end things other than ending up at Minute Maid stadium!


So this wolf-like dog we saw over the weekend was very pretty.  He (or she I suppose) was still small and very aware of what was going on around him/her.  There was no leash although no one is supposed to allow animals without leashes...It's the Law!  (in the complex anyway)  What I found out later was that this dog is apparently attacking little children and other parents have spoken up about it.  My daughter was the first to tell me because she saw one of the little kids dad go up to where the crowd had gathered around the dog to yell that he was helping yet another kid.  The dog needs to be on a leash and since it's taken me almost six months to see the dog, I don't really know where he/she stays for the most part.  If I see him/her again (darn I wish I knew if it was a boy or girl), I'll report it.  There are just too many little kids around here to let it go.  


Okay, better go to bed.  Last thoughts (post-jog of course):
Dear God, Please be with all my friends who need you.  There are many going through so much and could really use your support in whatever way you see fit.  Help the families of my friends who are struggling with health or financial issues.  Give them a hug and show them love in ways they will see it. Thank you for always being there for me, helping me, and listening to me even when I don't make the right choices.  You will always be my best friend and the one I trust with my life!  I love you!  Good Night!  
P.S. Thanks for the stars!  They are some of your best work!  Personally I think they give hope and optimism to those who need that extra something. ;-)
