2010 is taking some getting used to...










Hello,
I was taking a survey trying to determine the best job for me and one of the questions asked what my first choice would be for fun on a Sunday afternoon. With no hesitation, the answer is go to the park with my grandkids. I always knew I liked it, but I was not previously aware that going to the park is my top choice. Of course my definition for parks is broad and includes beaches. Life and my personal history make a glimmer of sense when I look back at examples of contentment and hours upon hours spent in Pioneer Park, hanging out in the UM Oval, the Mendenhall Glacier, Edmonds Beach and the lake house dock (any dock is included!) and others along the way to 2010. Now that I realize how much going to the park means to me, I like it even more.
The job connection is a dimmer glimmer. Nannies take kids to the park, but I don't quite see myself as Mary Poppins unless she is outsourcing the park skill.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Love, Mary
