May

This year is flying past - it's almost Memorial Day!  Bryan graduated from ODU and won the Academic Achievement Award in History - so proud of him!  He invited me to the honors luncheon - very nice event and I was thrilled to go.  Of course now he's looking for a teaching job and, while I certainly want the very best for him, it will be a jolt when he leaves.

One more year at work - that's the plan right now and I don't foresee any changes - before retirement. Guess then I'll have to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life! So many opportunities!  I do know that I'd like to travel some - hopefully I'll find someone to go with me - but I also want to just "be" - and enjoy the area around me.  I can go on mini-trips that I don't have time for now - lots of dreaming going on!

But for now, I simply can't believe how fast the year has gone - in the past it's seemed to move slowly from January to May but not this year!  I suppose all the changes and additions at work have had a hand in making it appear to fly.  Here we are in the beginning of "holiday time" (that's what I call it since we'll have actual holidays almost every other month while we don't have any from the middle of January to the end of May!) and pretty soon it will be Christmas and another New Year!  But, l don't want to get too far ahead of myself!

Think I'll go enjoy this sunny, cool day after all the heat and humidity.
