What am I going to be busy doing this week?

Before I start on this I guess I should do the second part of the first question about happiness. Am I ever happy without having a reason? I think I am. I think a lot of days I am happy just to wake up feeling good that day. I'm just happy to be alive. I'm happy because I know there are others out there worse off than me. While I do need knee replacement surgery, at this point I can still walk and many others can't. I have wonderful kids and grandchildren who are all healthy and lead good lives. I have a husband who loves me and treats me well. I think I have an abundance of happiness. I will write more later in the week about other things that make me happy. I warn you, some of them are silly.

Now, what am I going to be busy doing this week? Unfortunately, working. I have this very dull routine that repeats itself every week (at least for a little while longer). I work at the University of Central Florida. A lot of people don't know about us but we are the second largest university in enrollment in the United States. In 2011 we had over 58,000 students. We have been around for 50 years now which compared to some universities makes us young, but we have grown tremendously. We also now have a College of Medicine. Here are a couple of pictures of the campus. I work in the building you can see in the background.



 
 

So for the next two weeks I will be extremely busy at work clearing everything off my desk, packing up 11 years of personal stuff, and saying goodbye to a lot of good friends. You know how it is, your workplace becomes your second home.

Guess that is all for the day. I am sure I will be adding more before the week is out. Everyone have a good day.xxx
