Conundrum-Weekword by Mary

Sometimes a word is just too big for me to really delve into mentally at the time it rotates through, and I think conundrum might be one of those "I can't get into this right now" ones. (Sorry Mary!) Which is, I guess a conundrum in and of itself, no?

For me, difficult questions are internal questions that I ask myself:
What am I doing with my life? Am I happy? What is happiness and how do I measure it? How do I live more authentically? What kind of person am I? What are my faults?...

This list could probably go on and on and on, which is why I'm stopping myself right now and saying, I just can't delve into all these questions at the moment. What I can do is reaffirm to myself that despite the hard questions, I'm a lucky lucky girl.


 I have an amazing husband (who makes faces when I say smile that are NOT smiles!).

I have furry companions who bring me constant joy and frustration in varying measures.

The dog might love me even more than the husband does :)

 I live in a world of beauty and living treasures so vast, they're hard to put words to. My job allows me the pleasure and knowledge of getting a closer look at these unbelievable creatures that few are offered the chance to understand more.

I absolutely love my job even when it's irritating, monotonous, and sometimes very unyielding. It just works.

So I'm putting the tough questions aside and working on calming my mind and my heart.

Calvin is pretty much a direct example of my inner thoughts expressed outwardly. He just happens to be cuter than me :)

Thank you to everyone who bothers to read my garbled thoughts and sometimes very uninspiring chatter. I'm so lucky to have all of you!
