Thoughts for today, 9/19/12

   Having so many friends who use blogs to journal different things, I feel it is time to start working on journalism of my own life experiences. As this is a difficult thing for me to do, I am focusing on how to make it a part of my daily life. Maybe one day I will reflect back on life before this experiment, but I find that it is better for my mental health to focus ahead, & merely learn from the past. So, without further ado... welcome to my life!

   I have been re-reading "The Secret", which I had watched years ago. At this time, a good friend of mine has packed up, gotten out of Jersey, traveled to AZ, and is working on a reservation, where she also lives with her family. Part of me is jealous, as I would love to do something like that, and the other part of me is SOOOOOO happy for her! I know my path is not to AZ, but will be to GA. Her experiences and her sharing them has been inspirational to me. I now have re-focused myself, looking to the positive things, being grateful for the blessings I have, and keeping my focus on our future plans. I am also working on taking care of myself, so that I can take care of others. As an RN, my job is to take care of others. As a spiritual human being, my life is to do that. Now as well as taking care of me, I am also keeping my positive focus on our future plans. I know what I want out of life, & we are working towards those goals. It is hard work, but it is well worth it. I feel better about myself every day. I focus on my blessings, keeping positive energy & thoughts flowing as best I can.
   As a student of life, I am working on studies in two areas: one is my BSN, the other is my spiritual studies. Doing all this while working full time & caring for  my family makes for a busy schedule, but we are making it work. (All I need is an actual desk to work from & I'd be set! Using the kitchen table is difficult especially at mealtimes, but it works for now) I have 5 more classes to finish my BSN, and of course the spiritual studies is an on-going, life-long learning process. I am blessed with the ability to go back to school & work on obtaining another degree to put on my "I Love Me" wall. I love to learn and help others and I have my goals in sight. Meanwhile, as I work towards my goals, I am taking time to enjoy life and bask in the blessings the Universe has bestowed upon me.
   In closing for tonight, I wish to share my new mantra with you. I am full of love, joy, and gratitude! I am full of love, joy, and gratitude! I am FULL of love, joy, and gratitude! Namaste!
