Long Time...no write

Sorry guys it's been awhile. And there's really no excuse for me not writing all these long weeks. I guess if I was to come up with something it would be to say that I got out of the blogging groove for awhile.

I can definitely say as someone who has blogged now for the last year and a half there is such a thing as a blogging groove. There are times when blogging comes easy and I have plenty to say, those are the days when I view everything as blog material. Then weeks like these past few weeks are like a barren desert of blogging material.

Sure, things have been going on in my life. Great things in fact. I just haven't felt motivated to write any of it down. So, shame on me!!!

Now, for all that stuff I haven't shared. Mostly it revolves around a surprise trip I made back to Virginia. Last week I went home for Thanksgiving with my family. It was a surprise to my family and a great time for me. And now after several days of good eating and visiting with family and friends, I'm back in Utah.

I have three more weeks here in Utah and then it's back to Virginia for some Christmas family and friend time. During those three weeks I have plans to go to a hockey game (maybe two), spend some time with friends, fix lots of good foods and work some : )

And as this blog isn't getting any more exciting as I write I think it would be best to draw it to a close. So until next time...adios!

About Time...

Okay, so it's about time I wrote a post on here. I can't have too many voice blogs. You guys might get confused with all this little boxes and give up on coming to my blog at all. And I simply need all your attention on me and my blog or I can't function in life : )

Well, now I'm just being silly! And this isn't the kind of silly that's produced by large doses of sugar or caffeine; it's more of a natural high by simply having a good day. That's right you heard me I'm having a great day.

My question today is what makes a great day great, and a bad day bad? I mean it...this is a legitimate question, so don't roll your eyes at me.

My day to today isn't that much different from my day yesterday, and yet today I find myself full of life and ready to tackle the world, much unlike yesterday. Funny thing is that yesterday by all rights should have been the better day.

Take the weather for example, yesterday we reached an unseasonable high here in Utah with 71 degrees warm and sunny. Today on the otherhand the temperature has drastically dropped, it's overcast and rainy, they're even calling for some snow later. Now if mood was dependent upon weather then I should have been jumping with joy yesterday and ready to crawl back in bed today, but as I said earlier it's just the opposite.

Another factor in determining mood is (or should be) work load. Yesterday was an easy going day, not much going on, yet I kept steadily busy. Today on the otherhand, all the crazies and their mothers keep calling in. By all rights, yesterday was the more productive day, with the sort of work flow that I love. Today has been disruptive and random, just the sort of thing I usually hate. But as I said earlier I'm much more happy today, despite the working conditions.

So I guess what it all comes down to is your state of mind. Ha! Try and figure that one out. I'm not so sure a person's state of mind is reliable enough enjoy day upon day of good moods. I guess all that means for me is that I need to enjoy my good mood now while it lasts.

I should also apologize for the randomness of writing topic. I simply didn't have anything else I felt compelled to write about, and yet I felt compelled to write. You'll just have to bear with me just this once.
