Today taught me how much I've missed running.
I am happier when I run. I like to run. I feel good when I get out and exercise.
Research says exercise is powerful and I can feel it.
Just do it. Get up and do something!

Red, White, and Blue
Today taught me...
1) I still dislike goodbyes. And get extremely awkward.
2) Some friends would do just about ANYTHING for you. In their own unique way. Sometimes, there doesn't even need to be a conversation about what is going on...just a fun candy shopping spree :)
3) I'm glad I got Punky...however long ago that was. She's a cool cat.
4) I'm proud to be an American and I am grateful for the last minute celebration me and some others threw together tonight. America: Home of the free because of the BRAVE.
5) During this weird transition period...I'm still laughing. I love a good laugh.

Lucky
Today taught me how lucky I am.
A friend gave me a Mad Libs book to keep me occupied when I feel alone. She knows me well.
I went floating down the river with Josh's friends. I am blessed to know him and all the wonderful people in his life. And I LOVE water. Oceans, rivers, lakes, creeks. I love water. It relaxes me.
I gave Pirates of the Caribbean a chance. Glad I did. I like that kind of humor. I laughed.
One of my very dearest friends is spending her last night in Cola with me. And she's sneezing because of Punky's fur. I must have done something right.
I read this today, and it fits:
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." A.A. Milne
If you read yesterdays, I am still sad, scared, and anxious, but lucky. So damn lucky.

"Smile Always"
Today taught me that I don't need to be "the strong one". I am kidding myself.
In elementary school we were instructed to head our papers with our name, date, assignment number, etc. Above my name I always drew a smiley face with the words "Smile Always".
During this time of transition (grad school to ? ), I can't possibly "smile always". It's transition. And it's hard. I will miss people. I will miss places. I will miss situations. I will miss comfort.
So, today I decided I will embrace the fact that I am sad, scared, and anxious. I won't dwell (duh), but I will let myself be those things. Otherwise, I'd be kidding myself.

The Beginning of My Future Goal
Today taught me that I may be onto something with my future goal of creating/being a part of a leadership consulting organization. Since I graduated, I was given a project by a mentor/friend to create and plan an orientation leader training curriculum. This week, I had more time on my hands than usual and I was able to give it my everything. Today I put together the end result. All of my hard work in a white binder, a pocket folder, and a ziplock bag. It looked good and I received great feedback. Honestly, this project is just what I needed. Especially this week.
I look forward to hearing how the training goes. I wish I could see it in action, but if I want to consult in the future I will have to get used to setting others up for success, walking away, and trusting the process...
Thankful for today and the consulting opportunity,
Litsa Eileen

oh, and today taught me...
Today taught me that the more things change, the more they stay the same...
Take a look at the first blog I wrote about a year from today:

Every Moment
My name is Litsa Eileen Orban and I just graduated with my masters degree in higher education and student affairs. However, just because I graduated does not mean I am done learning. I learn something everyday. And I will continue to learn something everyday. Every moment.
Some of my learnings are insightful. Some are thought-provoking. Some are shocking. Some disappointing. Some helpful. Some of my learnings are funny. Some are heartbreaking. Some are enraging. Some brilliant. Some of my learnings are joyful. Some are boring. Some are scary. Some hopeful. Some of my learnings I never cared to know. And some of my learnings keep me wanting to know more.
Despite everything I have learned in the past 24 years, I am not claiming to know a lot. Gosh, I don't know nearly as much as I'd like to know. But, as I learn each day, I can record the day's learnings right here with this blog. I can't promise that the learnings I share will be of any interest to you. They may be insightful, or thought-provoking. They may be shocking, disappointing, helpful, or funny. They may be heartbreaking, or enraging. They may be brilliant, joyful, boring, or scary. Some of my learnings may give you hope. Some you may never care to know. And some may keep you wanting to know more...
