no one lived the way that you did...

Just unpacked all of the office. Apparently I do have enough manuscripts/projects/reference guides and miscellanious "office" stuff to have one. Enough, in fact, that I don't know where to start putting stuff away at. Right now I think I'm content with just getting the boxes hidden away in one of the closets. This is perfect. Got a view of the entrance way/countryside, plenty of fresh air, and tons of inspiration materials. I'm really hoping to jumpstart my writing again, and maybe this will help. Hanging right over my desk is the framed poem I got published and my framed graduation announcement. And again, I'm feeling increidlbly full. Those were happy days for me. I also hung something I found in a box I never even unpacked after moving from chicago. It's one of those silly "friends through thick & thin" Hallmark frames. Inside is a letter that reads:

Brad,

What can we say...you have been a vital member of this team since the day you started and even though you don't technically work in the office we will always consider you to be one of us. You've come a long way from the Brad who first came to college to the person you have become today. You shouold feel extremely proud of everything you have accomplished! We are! Never forget you have friends who will listen...of course you know we will also give our opinions...Keep in touch!

It's signed by all the staff members of the Admissions department from Barat. I've done a lot of stupid things that - though I don't regret - I'm not proud of. These serve as reminders that there are also many things that I've done that I should thank God every day for that I was able to accomplish.

I think that's enough for now. I feel a hot shower with my new shower head followed by a night of uninteruppted slumber calling my name.

mmm sleep sounds good. Hope the unpacking continues to go well and glad you ran across something that made you smile. :)
