Day 309: Hiding Places

(For Tuesday July 1)

Apparently the lazy days of summer include for me, this year, doing the bare minimum to get to work.  I shower (feel free to thank me any time you see me), I put on clean clothes about 99% of the time, and off I go.  No make up, hair still damp or wet pulled back in a hairband.  I'm not looking all that attractive these days.  I'm feeling and being rather lazy.  I was thinking about this today as I yet again showed up to work less than professional looking and suddenly was very grateful for hiding places. I consider my desk and the area it is in as a hiding place.  I'm kind of tucked back in an odd little corner and I'm in the less busy part of our floor so I can literally hide out all day long and manage to not see most people.  And when I have no make up on and wet hair in a headband I'm awfully grateful for my desk that can hide me.  It wasn't the case at my old job (which I loved btw and still miss more than I think I should) because I was "the face", in the afternoons, of the organization because I was the front desk person.  I couldn't get away with no make up and wet hair in a headband. Not the face I wanted people to see representing the company.  I'm also grateful for my home for several reasons but one reason is because I also use my home as a hiding place in my personal life.  Because I am an introvert I need a hiding place but I really think all people should have a hiding place for the times when they need to regroup, or hide, or compose themselves, or just need a second to breathe.  What's your hiding place? How often do you use it?

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
