A quote for Colleen and her need for quiet and spirituality:

Calm the winds of your thoughts, and there will be no waves on the ocean of your mind.     Remez Sasson

Taken from an inspirational quote site

Another busy week! The project was consumming. Once I started researching, it just kept leading me somewhere else.  I agree with Shanna, when I saw what other people had included in their projects, I felt like I should go back and put more things in my project.  I really enjoyed all the presentations.  What a great group of people to work with.  I really do not like to do oral presentations.  I can teach up in front of a class all day long.  When I work at the movies, I can make announcements in front of 250 people and not even care.  But there is something about making a college presentation.  I was thinking about what Vicky said about it being hard for her speaking English.  The crazy thing is, I really did not think about it until she said it.  It would never have crossed my mind.  I think one of the best things about this cohort is being with the same group of people.  All the getting to know the class things are out of the way.  Eventually we all just work together to learn something together.  I enjoyed working with Colleen, Andy and Sally.  I  usually prefer to work by myself, but I see that changing for me.  I also think that giving this presentation was much easier that I had expected.  All the presentations were great and I learned a lot.  Thanks to you all!  I have another busy week ahead with my son getting married on Friday.  But after that, I think I can take a breath.  I like to meditate, but have not made the time to do so lately.  Colleen got me thinking that it is about time to start again.  I hope everyone has a relaxing week, or at least weekend.  I am saying this now, but know that there are more projects ahead.  Oh well, I am going to calm my thoughts to calm the waves of my mind at least for one day.

  1. Jane - That hammock is calling! I enjoyed all the projects immensely. Just like you I found that one bit of research just led to another - sort of like surfing the web. If you don't leave pebbles it is hard to find your way out.
    Enjoy the wedding!
