Life is Not a Test

Your Saturday Scavenger Shots have arrived!  In that it is Saturday, and I have scavenged up a shot or two or three to post up this morning.  Thank you  AlienCG @ Swamp Gas & Moonlit Reflections for choosing this week's word - HURDLE.  Let's see how this goes...

I have to say that the most difficult moments of the day usually happen to me in the parking lot as I approach the building to begin work.  As I walk away from my car and towards the library, that is when the little voice in my head will say to me - I just can't do it today.  I can't.  But as I walk in the door and head down the long back hallway I feel myself jumping the HURDLE from 'I can't' to 'Of course I will'...and my day begins.

As we hurtle towards summer and our Summer Reading Program, there are many HURDLEs to leap.  It requires a lot of preparation and a lot of organization.  This year feels a little disjointed, as we are moving forward for a least another month with no Department Head.  We are all taking care of the things we normally take care of, but there seems to be a feeling of unease, as though there is no connecting line between us.  This is a photo of all the projects we have going on in the back room.  It is a HURDLE we will pass over eventually and SRP will be happening one way or another :-)


For me and DR this last year has been one big HURDLE.  But we are doing the best we can, he's still the one, and within the next couple of months we may be past what I hope is one of the biggest HURDLEs in our life together.


Thanks for looking at some of my HURDLEs.  I'd like to see yours as well, so post away!  And watch for who AlienCG tags for next week.  Thx!

That is a daunting back room! Here's to next year being a peaceful, hurdle free amble for you both.

Oh, I sure hope so for the biggest hurdle.

Very defininite and important hurtles!

I hope that you and DR will be past all frustrating hurtles in a few months. Less hurtles, more happiness!

Tara said...

I meant to say "definite". Lol.

laura b. said...

Secret: Me too, thank you!

Tara: haha! I got it :-) I am ready for less distance and more happiness.

Such a sweet photo!
And hey, btw, I guess that's why there's a wheelchair ramp, so you can just roll yourself up that hurdle hill and not have to take big steps.

laura b. said...

NoRegrets: I love that picture even though it is even less flattering than usual.
ha! Yeah, I have used the ramp with book trucks, but it hadn't occured to me to roll my own self on up there...good thinking :-)

You do have a big hurdle and I hope DR gets it together soon, so you can both get over it and move on to more happiness. I'm pulling for you.

Churlita: I hope so too. I'm tired of missing him. Thanks :-)
