I saw this video on the morning news, and decided I just HAD to post it to my blog! The news folks said specifically that the dolphins just did this naturally; no one taught them to do it. Enjoy!

My Word for 2008
OK. There's a "thing" that some scrapbookers do at the start of a year. They choose a word that is supposed to be their "theme word" for the year.
I didn't do it last year; I thought it was hokey.
This year, I actually have a word in mind.
REBUILD.
In sports, they have "rebuilding years". Usually for a college team, it's when your star players have graduated and you have to start from scratch again.
Well, that's kind of where I am.
When I moved to my new area, it took me several months to find a job. I tried to start my job search before I arrived here, but no one really wanted to talk to me until I arrived. And once I arrived, I couldn't find an opening -- not even at WalMart! I finally found a good job, and I really like it, but being out of work for so long was rough financially. I'm digging out, but I will be OK.
I am also rebuilding relationships -- I have a new church that I'm getting acquainted with (and really enjoying), and I am making friends. I'm getting to know my coworkers. I'm getting to know my colleagues in other offices, and have already participated in a search committee to hire a new staff member in my office.
This whole year is a fresh start for all that and more. I'm really excited to see how it all shapes up!

Cool Quote
I found this quote on Ali Edwards' blog. I thought it was really cool:
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
