Time to get the next case study done.
This one is for my oral exam on Thursday.
While I have been thinking about it for over 2 weeks, it has been challenging formulating my thoughts, linking connected items and putting together recommendations.

By late afternoon, it is completed. Whew!
Now to figure out how to get through the next one in much less time…

Grateful today for
getting the case study down on paper,
the resources online and from past courses that helped get there,
and for this photo of nephew Justin – sleeping with the birthday gift we gave him…

After an early morning rising and snuggly viewing of Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, we set out to get produce from the farmer’s market and have a market breakfast.

Produce brought home, washed and prepped for storage…
in time to go to Justin’s 4th birthday party.

Friends and family and floating balloons are abundant in sharing Justin’s birthday.
A lovely time with the nephews.

Returning home, I am tired.
Partially from eating too much, and also from the energy of all the kids at the party.
Happy to have a quiet Saturday night.

Grateful today for
Justin – enjoying each shared moment with you,
and for Alex and MunHee – all your love, energy and efforts you put into your family…beautiful.
I am grateful you for my family.

Today there was a 2-year memorial service for Kenny.
It is strange and surprising that 2 years have passed.

Friends and family gathered to remember Kenny.
Nice to hear others’ remembrances of his smiles and laughter.
Wonderful to share an evening together.

Grateful today for
a shared moment to smile and think of Ken,
and for Kenny’s grandsons – carrying on his good nature, laughter and smiles.
…hoping that I will also carry on his good nature, laughter and smiles.
