mascots and mayhem

I really don't know why I put mayhem in the title of this blog, except the fact that mayhem is the normal for my life these days. Someone asked me yesterday what my plans were for the weekend. I told them I didn't have time to think about the weekend. I have too much to do between now and then. One day at a time these days. One day at a time.

I've had some people ask me about my profile pic. A turtle? Really? Yes, really. There really is a reason I use a turtle as my profile. It all started when we decided to get a mascot at work. It was fun to go through the process of finding the perfect animal and give him a name. It made me think, if I could pick one animal to represent me what would it be and why?

Well, a turtle for two reasons. 1) You can't go anywhere in life without sticking your neck out. And, yeah it's scary to stick your neck out. Something might be out there to chop it off. 2) Hiding in your shell doesn't do anyone any good. I do have a tendency to curl up inside myself and ignore the world. Looking at a turtle every day reminds me to come out and start moving. I may be slow, but at least I'm moving.

So, that's why I have a slight fascination with turtles. :)
