This is where I am going tomorrow...



Muir Beach on the California Coast just up Route One, the windy road. This is part of the reason why I love living in California. We have the whole nature thing going on and the shore here is just magnificent. A friend and I are going to do some peaceful walking and then have some tea at the British style in right down the road from here. Yays.

I will be offline most of the day. R&R.

Photo note: From a google search and not by me.

Governor Schwarzeneger finally says...

If the budget is not on time, the state legislators should not take extra pay when they need to work extra to get it done.

Thank you very much. Finally something that makes sense from him. I think they should give all that overtime pay back that they got from those special budget sessions.

They are asking state employees to take furloughs. Two days off a month. I have heard that my organization is not effected. That is good news so far.

Are state politicians taking a pay cut too? No news on that either. It seems that this will effect the people that can not afford it.

So here in 'sunny' California, it is raining. I looked outside this morning and it was foggy and raining and I just looked outside now and it is foggy and raining. November has hit and the winter is upon us in all its glory. Woo hoo. I trudged to work with my lovely umbrella and got my shoes all wet. Oh yay.

I actually do not mind the rain. We need it and it stops the chances of fires here, so that is good.

Nothing much to report here. Had a busy day. Worked a lot. Have to food shop on the way home.

*sigh*

Edit:

So I saw this on keiliss's journal and I really like it. She got it from aglarien1.

Here is the idea:
The idea is to post at least one thing each day that you are thankful for, for the entire month of November. Can you do it? Can you find at least one thing every day you are thankful for? I am sure you can. So try it!!! I bet at the end of the month when you look back at all you are thankful for, it will give you a really good feeling.

So we are at Nov 2 so I will do two for today.

1. I am thankful for the beauty around me. I look out my window sometimes and see the hills and it is just a wonderful thing. They can be clear or they can be shrouded in fog. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and can go hiking within 15 minutes from my house. I can see the Redwoods, the wild Pacific Coast and all sorts of great natural sights.

2. I am thankful to have a source of income and gainful employment. I walk through streets where people are destitute and begging for money. Not everyone has work so I know what might happen if I did not maintain it. I complain about the Uni sometimes but it is full of smart and nice people really. So that is something too.

It does feel good to do this. Pass it on. Posting it with the warm fuzzy as it is just a good feeling.
