My high school 10yr reunion is about a week away, and I would say over the last month, I've caught up with some folks (courtesy of facebook.com) I haven't heard from since high school!! Ya know I'm very much looking forward to this reunion because I went to school with some good people who unknowingly motivated me to be the best I can be. And from what I'm seeing so far, everybody is doing very well!
As the time marches towards Labor Day weekend, I will be embarking on possibly one last hurrah with my traveling buddies before I focus in on a couple of career and personal goals that will take up a lot of my time. So I'm looking forward to this trip.
One of the personal goals I have is to finish this Doctorate degree. I'm down to my last 3yrs of school and these 3 years are going to probably attempt to pull a lot out of me. Little does the program know, lol, I get off on challenges! October 10th is the beginning of the end of school for me. Can't wait!
New Years will be great for me as well! I'll keep ya in suspense on this one because this journey will be one for the ages for me....8yrs in the making.
The last few days, I've been sitting here thinking about my grandparents. I miss them so much. All these pictures I have of them are good memories. But whats painful is I so badly want to pick up the phone and call them, but the problem is, I know they won't answer the phone. But I am grateful for the 23.5yrs God gave me a grandfather, and I am grateful for the 27.5yrs God gave me a grandmother.
One thing I have discovered that I am getting even better with is my focus. I am seeing things and people and situations for what they are. So I am better able to anticipate certain situations, adjust, and keep moving forward. All of these life comedies are here to make us better people. Give us better self value and self worth. These comedies allow us to develop personal accountability and responsibility. So I welcome them, in whatever form they come in because my focus will not allow for those comedies to get me down. I know why they are here, so I have accepted that and I'm continuing my growth in mind, body, and spirit. Get on the bus or get out the way.
