Hello, dear readers!
This week has been quite the rollercoaster, full of unexpected twists and turns, and I’m excited to share it all with you. It’s been a week of observing, celebrating, and reflecting, and I hope you enjoy catching up with my adventures as much as I enjoyed living them.
Crowdstrike Outage: A Learning Experience from the Sidelines
The world recently saw a significant outage from Crowdstrike, a leading cybersecurity company. For those who might not be familiar, Crowdstrike provides vital protection against cyber threats, and their outage was a major event for many businesses relying on their services. Thankfully, I wasn’t directly affected, which gave me a unique vantage point. It was fascinating to watch the global reactions and responses unfold, and I took the opportunity to learn more about the complexities of cybersecurity and crisis management. It’s always intriguing to see how industries respond to such critical events, and this was no exception.
Olympic Excitement: Paris 2024
On a brighter note, I’ve been glued to the Olympics in Paris, especially enjoying the swimming and gymnastics events. The athletes have been nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing their incredible skills and determination. As of now, the USA is holding strong in the medal standings, with a commendable number of golds, silvers, and bronzes. The swimming team, in particular, has been making waves (pun intended!), and the gymnastics performances have been breathtaking. It’s been a true joy to witness these athletes shine on the world stage.
Family Celebrations: Grandbaby Sitting and Birthdays
This week is extra special on the family front. I’m thrilled to be spending time with my grandbaby, a delightful bundle of joy who never fails to bring a smile to my face. Additionally, it’s a week of birthday celebrations for both my daughter and my son, who have their special days nearly back to back. The joy of celebrating with family and reflecting on how quickly time flies is truly heartwarming. We’ve got some exciting plans in the works to make their birthdays memorable, and I’m looking forward to making the most of these special days.
Lucy’s Happy Reunion
Last but certainly not least, I have to share the heartwarming story of Lucy, the little dog we rescued. We found her wandering near a McDonald’s in Tulsa, and after a 150-mile journey of searching for her owner, we finally succeeded! Lucy had escaped from her car while her owner was grabbing lunch at Chicken and the Wolf. It was a frantic search for her owner, who was desperately looking for her lost pup. Seeing the joy on her face when we reunited them was an incredibly rewarding experience.
Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Consistency
As I continue to navigate through these diverse experiences, I’ve decided to make a commitment to post more consistently. Whether or not anyone reads these reflections, I believe that sharing them will help me in my daily affirmations and personal growth. It’s a small step towards creating a routine that brings me fulfillment and keeps me engaged with my thoughts and experiences.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Here’s to more adventures, celebrations, and learning opportunities in the weeks to come!
Until next time,
