What a Day...

A day of meetings, frustration, venting (appropriately), and being made to feel about 2" tall.

Then came a great afternoon of lunch at a yummy citch-y restaurant with my mentor (the guys went to Mexican food) and an afternoon of just chilling, chatting, and laughing. Total stress melt.

I was skeptical at first of this whole mentoring program opportunity (me, skeptical? Never!) but I find myself now to be very thankful for this opportunity. It's great to be able to celebrate the successes and share the hard stuff. We've found in our mentors that they don't just give us advice, but (in a gentler way) say "What are you going to do about it?" or "Let me tell you a story about when we..." They don't just feed us the answers in life. Hubby and I were talking about that this evening...we really appreciate that in them.

Sad that tomorrow's our last day with them until our next visit that we scheduled with them in September. We're going to hit White Sands in the morning, spend a bit of time at the corps, drive out to El Paso, have supper, and say our "see you laters" as they prepare to board their plane.

Then back to reality--lots to do on Thursday to make sure all is getting caught up as we leave for Women's Ministry Retreat on Friday morning, my desk is an avalanche waiting to happen I am so far behind. Can't wait...my ladies are beside themselves excited and my mommy is coming too! 2 ladies and my mom have never been to retreat, and one hasn't been able to go for several years due to health. I think I'm more excited to see how they react to the event than actually experiencing it myself. Going to be a great weekend.

I need to hear some praises from others today--how are you blessed today?
