Just me....venting



     This is such a peaceful evening. Everyone else is in bed and I am working on assignments. My brain is at the point of unloading and reloading. I am unloading stresses and reloading my thinker with information that I a thoroughly enjoying. Some of my assignments are tough but it is what keeps me going because if they were not a challenge, I would get bored. This past week was very busy with personal obligations and school. I am very thankful to have completed unit 6 and now I can breathe for a moment and really focus on completing my final project for unit 9. It has went so fast and I am eager to move on to the next semester and face new challenges. I will keep my eyes on the goal and cherish the moments along the way.

Warm fireplace and a mug of hot chocolate...

      This is what my heart desires right now. I yearn to rest and forget about this dauntng task that is looming before me. I will admit that I do not enjoy writing essays. My topic for my essay is about the hormones found in meats and is more dfficult than I expected. Why do I do this to myself? Is it procrastination or is it a legitimate fear. Many of my classmates are making it look so simple. I, on the other hand, am constantly looking for a break and thinking that it will just be a small one. Suddenly I realize that I am just pushing it off and need to buckle down. My research is done and 1 and a half pages of my rough draft is written. I think I will go get a glass of water and dive back in! Unfortunately my desire did not win.

A lazy Saturday spent with my family

     Today has been one of those days that I have been wishing for. A time to reconnect with my family and cherish the silly moments. Nothing was planned and therefore my husband and I just played with our daughters. I will never regret the times spent with loved ones and all the precious memories tha we make. I had finished everything that I needed to for school yesterday so that I can have one day to recoup. It is a goal that I made.....to have schoolwork done on Fridays. My schedule is made, my menu is planned, everything is cleaned and groceies are bought. Tomorrow I am tackling my research for my topic in College Composition 2 and my project in Nutrition Planning and Management. This little break will give my brain the rejuvenation that it needs to continue.
   Until next time!

Confidence is key

     Confidence is our motivation. When we are knocked down by hurtful experiences and our immediate situations, humans tend to mope and feel depressed. All people respond differently to this feeling.Some of us tend toeat excessively and put n the pounds and others lose their appetite. Neither way is beneficial in keeping our lives moving forward. There is always the positive outlook in life. We can choose if we want to be happy or sad and that is what our lives will be based upon. Negativity causes failure and positivity brings success! Surround yourself with positive people.
     I feel strongly about this and I hope this this is helpful to all!
