Forgive and Forget

Telling a person that you are sorry is a brave step to take. You have to put your pride to the side and say the three words which prove that you made a huge mistake.

What about the person who was hurt by another's actions? Should they forgive right away, later on or never? Forgiveness does not mean you can forget what has been done either. So deep down inside there may be some trust issues that can change how you view that person.

So how does a person prove they are sorry and how does the other person prove that they forgive any wrong doings? First you have to decide where you want that person in your life. Do you want them at a distance or try to become closer than you once were? Wanting them at a distance is fine just make sure you are honest with them so there aren't any misunderstandings.

Now if you want to maintain or strengthen that relationship, you have to trust that your relationship is strong enough to get past the issue. Trust is important with forgiveness. We are hoping that the mistakes won't happen again and that our mistakes won't be brought up all the time by the person who claimed to forgive.

To say you are sorry and to forgive is a difficult task but it can be done. Do not let your pride get in your way. Say you are sorry before it is too late. Forgive as God will forgive you and leave the past behind you so that you can move forward with a clear vision.

"But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." - Mark 11:26 KJV

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

I looked in the mirror and decided to dissect what I saw.

My hair is frizzy and wild on its bad days. It comes to my shoulders when its curly and to the middle of my back when it's straight.

My eyes are slanted and I have big lips that make a big smile. I was told dimples are birth defects but I think they add something special to my look.

My tummy isn't flabby but I would love a little more definition. I have to admit that my stomach is where I'm most insecure about. I don't think I will ever be satisfied.

My legs aren't too bad and they are attached to the cutest feet of all time! Once I get a hang of this marathon training, my legs would be flawless. My hips are wider and I think I see a bigger butt - no complaints here!

As I look at myself I am coming to one conclusion. Whether I have birth defects on my face or cute little toes, I love every part of me. There is always room for improvement but for now I'm satisfied.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Today is a special day! Today is an awesome day! Today is MY BIRHTDAY!!

Another year older does not scare me. Everyday is a blessing and I thank God I get to celebrate another birthday. Today is the day to be selfish and self-centered and be completely unapologetic about it.

If I am partyin' hard or just hangin' out for my birthday, I know I will get my carrot cake. Carrot cake is the best cake of all time and I rarely eat it during the year so waiting for my birthday makes it so much better AND some people don't like it so...MORE FOR ME! After I close my eyes to blow out my 23 candles and make my wish, I get to open my eyes to see all the people who care about me and love me - what more could you ask for?

IT'S A CELEBRATION!!

A+ Please

I'm having issues accepting anything but an 'A' in this graduate program. I feel I really try hard to elaborate and fulfill all the retirements.

In the beginning my goal was to graduate with a 4.0 GPA or at least with a 3.5 and its been tough this term to maintain. It's really hard to raise your GPA after it goes down, even by .01. Currently I have a 3.5 but I'm not satisfied. To some its an achievement but to me perfection is everything.

I wouldn't say I'm an obsessive overachiever but I do aim high. I don't think it can affect my career but if I'm seeking higher education then why not have extremely high expectations? This has been tougher than I thought it would be.

I don't have outside pressures nor am I competing with anyone. Most of my academic stresses come from myself. I'm not a professional athlete and I don't own a business so school is all I have...for now.

Tired

I am beyond exhausted!

This quarter in my masters program is going to push me to my limit and its only day FOUR! A nice push in the right direction is fine but I still need elbow room.

I am pretty good at managing all that I juggle but recovering from being sick for over a week really slowed me down. I think I am getting sick again which does not help either. I am worried that if I keep pushing myself, I may not be able to be healthy again. There are a few fun runs I want to do but I could barely breathe from all the congestion.

Being tired all the time is not the best feeling. I hope I can get enough rest tonight. I need to rejuvenate my brain, body and spirit.

Am I There Yet?

How long does it take to get where I need to go? How bad do I need to want it in order to get what I want?

Haven't I worked hard enough? I thought I tried, I thought I did what I needed to do. What more could there be?

I want to know what will happen, right now!

Time and patience are not my best friends. They are not even my associates. They are my enemies that keep me from knowing. They keep me on edge. They push me to work harder. They motivate me to get what I need and go where I want to go.

Time takes too long. Patience gets me nowhere. But I have to admit that they both make what I want worth it. Maybe rushing will ruin my surprise.
