Day 45 -- bake sale, dinner and a play

It was a great Friday today. Work went well with midterms, meetings and mentoring. Fun things for Valentine's Day included a student bake sale -- always a tasty event. I had dinner with a  group of colleagues and then we went to see Macbeth at the local theatre. What an amazing group of talented people we have in this little town! It kept everyone's attention and contained some great speeches, very well delivered.

So -- we're at the end of week 6 of the term -- the halfway point. This brings with it some feelings of accomplishment but more anxiety from looking at the list of things yet to finish -- for both students and faculty <smile>. In one more week, we have reading week coming up to help us get things caught up a bit. The storm dropped a lot of rain overnight and promises to bring oodles of snow by Sunday. There is hope for Spring to arrive or  to show that the transitions are beginning. Temps went from -24C yesterday morning to +8C this afternoon -- it was warm wet Gulf weather. Things being mixed up, for sure.

So -- today's selection is about the feelings of anxiety that can creep into life as well as the positives that we often overlook and our reactions to each type of situation. It is by a wonderful musician who is celebrating a birthday this week. Enjoy!
