Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2007. This was Mattie's first day of kindergarten. Before we jumped into the car to head to school, I wanted to capture that moment in time. It was an exciting and at the same time daunting day. I did not like giving up control when Mattie was involved, and yet I knew he had to go to school and grow and develop. This was the start of a wonderful year for Mattie, but in my wildest imagination I would never have guessed we would only have one year at St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School.

Today felt like I was living in the land of the lost. I spent the entire day at home, and basically glued to the computer. My first task I worked on was taking a 30 minute script and trying to cut it down to 10 minutes. That may sound like an easy task, but it WASN'T. It actually took me over eight hours to do this, and I timed myself many times, until I finally got it down to 11 minutes. Wow! The sad part is the original script I wrote for the medical grand rounds was powerful and full of substance. It is hard to deliver anything really meaningful in 10 minutes. So hopefully I was successful with my message.
After a full day of script writing and Walk tasks, I finally took a break and had dinner outside on our deck. With both Mattie foundations going in the background, our beautiful plants, and the garden string lights I bought, the whole deck area reminds me of a secret garden. It was the only moment of peace I had the entire day!
