Never let go of hope

Tonight – it’s been good. Things went well at work today, karate class was challenging, AND I made some progress on my dissertation topic selection issue.  Now blogging in the quiet of early evening (11:18 PM currently).  At last, time is mine.


In the prior post, I included a picture of my amazing plant.  The flower stalk grew large in just two days. The blooms resemble clover. Starting yesterday, the bloom pods opened up and the scent was intoxicating – I love it!!! When I came into work this morning, I brought a camera, but guess what! The flowers were curled up into pods again.  I thought maybe my space gets really cold at night because it’s always cold in the morning there.  It was exactly the same time today as yesterday – late afternoon (4:30 PMish) – they popped right open. The plant is very mercurial…it feels like a room-mate. Common name is corn plant (see prior post for a botanical name).  I love my jungle.



Take a whiff of this!

OK - now the big news - I'm narrowed to two topics and I love them both (well, er ...maybe).  One involves social networking and entrepreneurs.  The other involves near miss incidents - I'm not convinced I have access to a population for the latter prospect.  Anyway, I feel like things are moving, my motivation and excitement about it are growing.
