As The Days Whirl

Well, I hate it when people sit around talking about how "busy" they are. "There just aren't enough hours in the day..." "So many demands, so much pressure..." "I wish I could step off the merryground."

Cliches, all. And sadly, I use them sometimes. Like this week. With 3 1/2 hour meetings, and ads that need to be rewritten, and radio specials that need to be approved, and so little time to enjoy what you're doing...just enough time to get it done.

But I am still smiling...and although I've been a bit short with some people this week, I am working to discover how to enjoy even the days that are overwhelming and non-productive. If you have any secrets for me regarding this, do tell.

I'm taking a whirlwind trip through New York City and on to Denver, starting Friday. I expect to be moved by my first trip to Ground Zero, to enjoy the bustle of the city, and the new discoveries to be had at the marketing seminar I'm attending.

Then on to my annual trek to Denver for a meeting with a publishing partner. I remind myself that I do enjoy traveling, even though it can be riddled with possible inconveniences. Like the trip to Denver last year, where I lost my luggage for 3 days and learned to survive on little makeup and a few new outfits of clothes. Hey, every experience stretches us! It's amazing what you can live without...

But enough of that. Y'all come back and watch for my blog postings and pics from the Big Apple. Catch ya later!
