			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I hate to admit it (because I sort of pride myself on being a workaholic), I have had a heck of a time getting back to business as usual. As much as I just want to be present again, my mind is still on vacation and it&#8217;s sort of stressing me out. Okay, it&#8217;s <em>really</em> stressing me out. This morning I resolved to stop fighting my mind&#8217;s desire to wander and decided to just go with it. How happy am I that I let my mind take me over to one of my favorite blogs and go to source of inspiration, <a href="http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/" target="_blank">SFgirlbybay</a>. The photo and story below, by photographer <a href="http://lizsteketee.com/" target="_blank">Liz Steketee</a>, were featured on <a href="http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/about-me/" target="_blank">Victoria&#8217;s</a> weekly &#8220;<a href="http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/2009/10/20/talking-pictures-14/" target="_blank">Talking Pictures</a>&#8221; post. I couldn&#8217;t resist sharing it here as I found it both incredibly charming and inspiring. In short, it made me want to get back to work. I hope it inspires you as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-794" title="astronaut" src="http://blog.lamadesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/astronaut.jpg" alt="astronaut" width="500" height="490" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>“this image is of my daughter emma, who has long dreamed of becoming an astronaut. when she was just 3 years old she announced to her father and me that she would soon be going to the moon. she shortly there after requested an astronaut costume and proceeded to wear it for the next year. this image to me is about the thrill of big dreams when you are a child, the belief that you can be anything without restrictions, without parameters. it also serves as a reminder to me to keep my dreams close. to pursue them as diligently as i did when i was a child. it is too easy to let dreams go when life pushes back on us. holding tight is harder than we imagine. i expect that in a few years down the road, i will be a passenger on my daughter’s rocket to the moon.”</strong></p>
