The title is simple…I started this blog a few years back…the last time I posted to it was in 2020. It was before Covid, BC. Isn’t it interesting we live our lives time referencing things that happen. I had two posts that were unpublished. One was worth publishing because I needed to hear it again. Interested or committed? So, how’s this for a renovation…I went back to school. Yep, finishing my BA, possibly my Master’s. To make it more interesting my first class was Statistics, bbwwaahhhaahhhaa….I do not have a math brain. The last math class I took was 9th grade algebra. And that was twenty plus years ago. Don’t ya know, I got a freaking A! The story goes that I kept on keeping on and there is a number at the top of each class page and I am competitive, even with myself. I need all the points, lol. I am always trying to get an A. Another secret, I freak out when I have to submit an assignment, thinking each time this will be the one that I fail. I gotta work on that, a little harder than I have been. There was a time when I was taking two classes at once because I got some great financial aid, but that burned me out, I had no time for myself or family. My husband said to me one day, why are you in such a hurry, you don’t need to be. Smart man, but all I saw was this free money so I wanted to make the most of it. I had to drop back down to one class after taking a couple of months off, that is how burned out I was. We need to look, step back and look in on ourselves. If something isn’t working what can we do to make it better, or make it work. Sometimes we just get wrapped up in the going when we really need to take a deep breath and move in a lightly different direction. Life is about ebb and flow. I was working on an assignment for the end of a class and decided maybe I would put in a link to the blog. This is work, this is therapy, this is where I clear my head, and maybe help someone else. We are not in any of this alone, we need to be there for others. This was how I healed and continue to heal, so if my ultimate goal is to be a mental health counselor perhaps I should include the blog I created. I will better to visit more often and post the happenings and the renovations. in the mean time, be kind, love hard, take a deep breath daily, and look around when you go outside and find something to be grateful for. Find the birds, find the trees, find the shapes in the clouds and the sun warming your cheeks. Listen to the air slowly float past your ears carrying the sounds of nature, look for the things you might be missing.
