This long weekend has been fun. Plenty of catching up, visiting touristy spots and meeting new people. A drive through rural Pennsylvania always leaves me refreshed. I enjoy the sight of farms studded with cows, horses and bales of hay. I love the undulating mounds of greenery as far as the eyes can see. It takes my over active mind miles away from the everyday issues.

As I sit waiting for the cooker to stop hissing so I can go ahead with my lunch plans, I reflect on the past couple of days and realize I have a better understanding of myself than ever before. The MBA certainly seems to have developed some of my dormant analysis and people reading skills. I enjoy sitting back and reflecting on behavioral patterns and have aha moments.

I know the rest of today will be spent in entertaining and catching up on my coursework. The work week looks inviting and I am looking forward to making progress on issues at work.

Have a lovely week ahead.
