That Friday Feeling

Today is one of those Friday mornings when I wake up already feeling the joy that will come over me as I walk out the door of my office at 3:30pm. It was a busy, productive, and even exciting week. I'm planning a regional conference and registration is on the rise! It is going to be great, and I am thrilled.

On a side note, I took time this week, when SB was working at home one evening, to re-watch one of my all-time favorite movies. The music, the dialogue, the carefully placed scene details, the characters, the human emotion, the humor, the eccentricity... it gets me every time. Here's a classic scene clip from the film for your Friday morning:

Speaking of human emotion, last night I attended a surprise birthday party for my professional mentor and friend. At the party were more than 30 people from all areas and times of his life. At one point in the evening, because he is a music lover, a guest played piano and the whole group sang songs including "Imagine," "Help!" and "If I Had a Hammer." While of course I found it slightly awkward (because I am me), it was also a really beautiful thing. Friends are such an amazing gift in this life, and togetherness through meals and music is particularly special.

Lastly, I'm hoping to get crafty this weekend... perhaps I'll have project pictures to report back next week.
