Waves

My have these last 3 months flown by. April is just a day away. Life is good. I definitely feel blessed. It seems like everything in my life comes in waves. When I refer to waves it means how things come and go or have its ups and downs. I see the people in different friends and family in waves. Some weeks have been harder than others, while others have been easy and fun. It’s definitely kept me on my toes. I like my new job so far. I’ve had my fair share of stressful days, but with each challenge I continue to learn a lot. I love working day shift and being on a normal circadian rhythm. I’m am grateful to have a job and I intend to make the most of it, one day at a time. I’ve been reuniting with friends over the past 4 months. Each time is bittersweet. It definitely makes me feel the footprint each person has left on my heart. I’m amazed by how many good friends I have all over the world. I love them and miss them all. Not to mention the friends who are near by still far, meaning...

New Kid on the Block

Image
It's a new year for a new start and for a new job. You might be thinking, "Really? Again? I thought you just got a job." It's true. I am the new kid on the block once again and everything that goes with that except on a larger scale. I've joined a bigger health care team.

My homecoming

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a real update, but better late than never right? I’ve wanted to update this for some time now. I just forgot how to write anything longer than a tweet. Damn you twitter! Haha just kidding. I’m back home. Home being that I am living in the suburbs with my parents once again when I used to be an independent woman living in LA. It’s been an adjustment for me especially now that I have two young nephews roaming the house several times a week and my parents who like to make sure I’m fed. Living at home has more advantages than disadvantages. I love being in a house full of people. I was raised this way and although challenging at times it beats being by myself most of the time like I was in LA. I love that it helps me save some money since I don’t have major living expenses or the temptation to spend as much as I did out in LA. I hate my commute to work and I miss my independence, but I know the sacrifice is worth it for now. The most important trade off f...

Because I live in gratitude...

Be Thankful Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations Because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge Because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary Because it means you've made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings. ~ Author Unknown ~
