The weekend of MLK

Long weekend ahead. My bag is packed, my ticket purchased and I'm ready for some much needed pickle time. Mini-Pickle turns 1 tomorrow and there is a little celebration planned, nothing major, but as always I'm head picture-taker and must be there with ample time to prepare.

I learned a lot from reading the worry book. I am having some difficulties putting things into practice but eventually I think I will get there. I'm really looking forward to some quiet Maryland time this weekend. Hopefully I'll have time to reflect and get my act together. I've been a little off track lately since I was sick. I had to stop the Detox, I haven't been sleeping, etc etc. Maybe this weekend will put me back on track.

It's funny how a weekend that is dedicated to a person that made such a big difference goes by with so little fanfare. I know there are some remembrance ceremonies and things like that but you don't see them advertized anywhere until the day of. You don't see any TV commercials or anything as it relates to MLK. Maybe we just have to take it upon ourselves to discuss with out friends and educate others as to why this man was important and how he changed our culture.
