Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. We were home between hospital treatments and Mattie received this very generous Lego Victorian House kit from his friend. For HOURS and HOURS, Peter and Mattie built this creation together. As you can see Mattie was proud of this accomplishment. Believe it or not, this Lego structure remains in our living room today.
Quote of the day: If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. ~ Lewis Carroll
I somehow relate to Lewis Carroll's quote tonight. Though I am not lost per se, I do feel like my roads all lead to the same place...... they lead to work and more work. Which may sound great, but some times it is tiring, tedious, and frustrating. I would like to take a break, but if I stop working things don't get done. Mind you, I can't always get things that are my check list done either. Which brings about further stress and frustration.
I could have worked the whole day away, but Peter insisted we go out and naturally Sunny wanted walks. So I had a diversion, but as soon as I got home, I was pulled right back into working. We are leaving in two weeks for a conference in Orlando, Florida. We are presenting and hosting a 90 minute town hall at the American Psychosocial Oncology Society. Mattie Miracle is funding several speakers to present with us on the standards and the implementation process. So tonight's efforts involved coordinating with speakers, working on power points, and let's not forget tasks toward our May 21st Walk & Family Festival. Managing the Foundation successfully means constant juggling, and not juggling of simple and light things. So I am signing off for tonight, as tomorrow, the process starts all over again.
