Motivate yourself to conquer your goals this week! Post on Monday; update us on Friday! |
There are times we bite off more than we can chew knowing that the possibility of choking is high, but there has to be SOMETHING to reach for. So, this is how my week went: I only mildly panicked Wednesday morning when I had to start work. I did well enough the first three days that I am already being considered for a promotion (this was only supposed to be part time I have held on to my sanity and held onto my daughter through a nightmare nobody should have to go through. My school work has been on time, but not early and I am at peace with that. A senior girl from my daughter's school died last Friday. Like basically a healthy kid-- dropped out while getting ready to go to school. She had chemistry and yearbook with my daughter who was working on getting to be more than just an aquainta-friend with this sweet girl. I have attended a candlelight vigil where children of many different faiths, cultures, and traditions came together for one purpose. I have driven hours to attend a funeral, and been honored enough to not refuse an invitation to pray with a family of a completely different faith and been held in awe of the opportunity to grow and learn. I have fallen into bed flat out exhausted to the point of sleeping with the lamp still on for half the night. I have witnessed kindness and decency in a world that I have grown disappointed in because of it's "my way or the highway" attitude and I know that I am a better person for it. Tomorrow I probably won't leave the house. I will write my essay for class and hopefully finish my contest piece in time to submit it. I will continue to be proud of what I DID do and gain peace from knowing it was the right thing to do. Next week will be even better.
