Anniversary Hopes

It's 6/4/2021, and the 155th day of 2021 is the 55th (FIFTY-FIVE) Anniversary of my parents, Bonnie and David Sherr.  Tonight, I have Anniversary Hopes.  I hope their getaway was as nice and fun as it seemed in the pictures.  I hope to be celebrating MANY MORE Anniversaries with my parents!  AND, I hope that I can follow in their example and be celebrating MY 55th Anniversary in 2054!!!  Happy Anniversary to the best parents a guy could hope for.  And thank you for that shining example of love and dedication and willingness to work in a relationship, even when it is work!  You are my shining role models of love, caring, and dedication to family, friends, and community!  LOVE YOU!

Checklist Hopes

Image
I had ten items on my checklist for the 108th day of 2021.  And, yes, even on a Sunday, I was trying to be productive on 4/18/2021.  These items ranged from the mundane (completing my workplace timesheet and taking a pile of magazines to my campus office) to maintenance (changing oil in the snackstand fryer) to Mustangs (i.e. a fun softball game).  And I got home, and looked at my checklist, and realized I completed 7.5 of 10!!  So I have checklist hopes to complete the last 2.5 items before I get to bed (but I AM running low on time) and continue to be productive in the coming week.  Hope ya'll are being productive too!

Listening Hopes

Image
I like to talk.  And, since I have a booming voice, often, when I talk, other voices may get drowned out.  SO, on the 305th day of 2021, I found myself in a position where I needed to listen.  And because I listened (actively) on 11/1/2021, when I did speak, it was effective, even though I tried to modulate my volume.  I therefore am filled with listening hopes.  Active listening is SO important.  I hope I can continue to remember that and listen more and talk less.  Not sure I can do it, but I sure can try!

Bacon Hopes

  So, it was not Chris Carter who informed me that the 364th day of 2021 is BACON DAY , no he is on vacation from Breakfast with the Beatles so I had to go looking online for inspiration for today's hopeful reflection.  But, once I found out on 12/30/2021, it gave me bacon hopes.  Honestly, not hopes for more bacon (not that this would be bad at all), but for the fact that the team on my project is connected by one of our colleague's love of bacon.  AND, even though John Goerke is no longer on the project, through FB, we stay connected with jokes about bacon, posts about bacon (such as this one), and just plain fun banter.  And, as the project is (finally) closer to the finish than it is to the start, I am hoping that this, and other inside jokes, can keep us connected even after the project is over and done with.  Anyone who knows me knows that I do not like saying goodbye.  SO, here's hoping that bacon keeps us connected.
