Hero (Day 14)

I was totally moved today by the kindness of another. Someone close to me is going SUPER out of their way to help me. My car is having issues that I believe to be related to work that was performed on it this weekend. This very special person has offered to take me to and from work and home everyday until the car is fixed. This outstanding individual has volunteered to go to and from work in the District to Frederick everyday until the problem is resolved. Who does that for someone...VB does. So happy that I have a hero like that on my side. When the offer was made it took all I had not to cry. You only meet someone like this once in a lifetime and I thank God that I was blessed to have met such a person.

Things are going well for me overall. I didn't do very well on my exam but not so poorly that I can't recover. I have a game plan for how to prepare for this class properly.  My brother's wedding is next week. I really am very happy and spool proud of him. Those feelings of dread are melting away regarding that. I just pray his marriage is one that can be an example of what a it should be.

Today's quote is:

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” Albert Einstein

This is how I try to focus my thought especially when I am going through rough spots in my life. Everything we go through can teach us something. Never let a lesson from what you have gone through in the past go unmastered. Do not waste the time right here and now that you are blessed with doing nothing to make today better than yesterday. Then, even though tomorrow isn't promised, have hope that if you get the chance things will get better and you will progress. Negative things come from negative people. Circumstances don't make you negative. I have met people who have and are going through things that I don't think I could handle. They still smile, are kind to EVERYONE around them, and still have hope for tomorrow. Your situation is not an excuse. Choose to be positive. Also, sometimes you have to let go of negative people and situations. When you do joy and positive things will return to your life.

Today I will do what?...SMILE of course!!! Lol I will also prepare for classes tomorrow and on campus lab that begins this weekend. I am still working on my inner butterfly. Having a group of positive people around you really makes that a lot easier.

Many Beginnings Aren't Bad (Day 13)

This is my first post in many days. I haven't given up just had some bumps in the road. I am so happy now. Happy with myself and with those in my life. Everything happens for a reason. Everyone you meet has the chance to enrich your life if you are able to see what it is God wants you to learn. Some people are meant for a season and others a lifetime.
Just because I have stopped writing for a bit doesn't mean I have failed. I started this as a journey of self discovery and I vow to have 365 posts even if it means it will take me more than 365 days to do it. The end of something just means that another beginning is about to start. Another chance to learn from mistakes and work towards your goals.
Today's quote is:
"What the caterpillar calls the end the rest of the world calls a butterfly." ~Lao Tzu~
This is very true. I feel like I am that caterpillar. I don't really know how beautiful I will be come when this is all over but I know that something is changing inside me. I don't have to say that this is my year. Everyday I live is a blessing and mine because God gave it to me. It is my responsibility to make it better than the day before.
I will try my best to smile. It has been a lot easier lately. I would be lying if I denied VB was a major reason for that. I will work on the changes I need to make on the inside so that I can change into the most beautiful butterfly that I can be when I am ready. I also need to adjust how I study for my classes. I have gotten a couple new "toys" to help with this.
