I’m just not that competive. I guess I believe that the only race you need to win is the race against yourself. And if you are always striving to be better, that’s a tough enough race to win without adding others in the mix. What matters is who you are. Are you kind? Can you…
You know what a pity party is? When you are just bitter and resentful about how life is going and you are determined to tell EVERYONE about it. I have a friend that is doing this right now. Unfortunately he’s struggling in several areas of his life: finances, relationships, health. They are all kind of…
Change is a good thing and inevitable in the world. Some people say you can “be apart of the change, or swept up by it.” It’s a lot easier if YOU initiate the change as you feel more in control of the world. But, as we all know, sometimes change happens when you cannot control…
I hope you both get to enjoy the satisfaction of going to a dealership and picking out a car that you really love. It is quite a thrill. I was going for a convertible. But after driving this British Racing Green two door hardtop with the sunroof, I fell in love. You’ll understand when you…
I don’t know if I ever told you this, but when I was a little girl, I played the violin. I started playing in fifth or sixth grade and I played for about 2-3 years. One summer, I even got to go to music camp. That environment was very inspiring. But I always struggled to…
Sometimes, during the summer, I pass the time by creating theme days. Yesterday seemed a perfect day for Indian Day. And when I say Indian Day, I mean Indian from India. India was not always a place I wanted to go. I would like to see it now. I’ve come to really appreciate Indian culture,…
Grandma’s having a rough day today, so I’m going to get dressed and take her out for a bit. She really misses Grandpa. Nothing too exciting today: we’ll go to the pet store, Lowe’s and grocery store. Just gotta get her out of the house. I do miss Grandpa more on days like this. He…
I went back to the gym yesterday. Ugh! It was leg day. My legs are so sore! But it’s a good kind of pain because I did it to myself and I worked through the desire to quit. I wanted to quit so badly. But I did not. I finished the workout and I’m starting…
The exhibit at the Science Center was interesting. First, I saw an IMAX movie called Dream Big. It was about how important engineering is to the world. The world needs more engineers to build structures that can be safe and protect people from natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons. Check it out! I saw…
These long summer days have me pondering the bigger questions… What is Love? Wow! What a question. Poets throughout time have tried to answer this question. I’m not sure who’s right or who’s wrong. Maybe it’s not as cut and dried as all that. Some say “you have to love yourself first before you can…
