Petals Falling Like Snow

It has been a week of chaos (yes I am aware it's only Wednesday evening). I am so busy at work I cannot even see an end in sight or a possible way to get everything done without cloning myself. Add to that some family issues and friend drama and, well, it's not made me a happy girl.

I get restless when I spend so much time in front of the computer, cell phone and blackberry and though I had to work again tonight, I needed to get out and away from it all. It was while taking a walk that I rounded the corner and my neighbor's wonderfully scented, white blossomed covered tree caught a breeze. I was suddenly caught in a downpour of white, tear shaped petals that reminded me of snow. It was so pretty that I just stood for a moment and absorbed the scene. Much like yoga, it was enough to get me centered and calm for a moment.

The moment did not last as I got back home. I have two trainings to do tomorrow and the first one is going to be really difficult. The group is wrestling with the complexity of what they will use the database for and I am plotting how best to convey that in clear, concise terms to them. I've got some ideas so we'll see. I was lucky to be able to bounce them off a friend, who in exchange for being my sounding board, was able to elicit a few laughs as he vented about his rather interesting day.
