As I reflect on the past month, it was busy and full of unfortunate surprises. Now that I'm on the back half of these things, I am thankful for the learning and life lessons I gained. Fortunately, I didn't receive any "life setbacks" from anything, but there was a lot of time taken away and…
As I begin to work full-time this week at my internship, I am reminded of how busy my next 8 weeks will be: Working 40 hours a week will be a new task of time management and challenges. However, I really enjoy my job and I'm excited about the busyness of the golf season to…
Lately, I feel as if the problems I face in my life as the problems I have faced before. For me, it's easy to turn these "recurring" problems into self-doubt. - If I have had these problems before, why am I having them again? - Why can't I fix the problem as it's still here?…
Fortunately, I'm not lost in thought, but sometimes my thoughts put me in a place where I am lost. I am always thinking about something - we all are. I am someone who constantly is playing out scenarios in my head. I am looking to see how something might play out based on the decisions…
As I reflect on the last two weeks of my life, I recognize that many things that happened were not ideal. Although I had many things not go my way, I never found myself becoming stressed or impatient. I was disappointed that it wasn't going well, but I knew it was things I can't control.…
Earlier this morning, I was doing some normal reflecting and in the background, the song "Hand Me Downs" by Mac Miller was playing. Although that song is not about what I was thinking about, I made a quick allegorical connection to what I was thinking about and the words "hand me downs". When I…
As you know, last week (a week ago today) I made a post about how I was sick and pushing through that. Well, the last 6 days were pretty rough! (Hence my week-long absence from posting.) I had bad flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday my voice was completely gone and…
Well, I'm feeling sick again today. I don't usually feel sick that often, but it has hit me harder this winter. Regardless, me being at work while being sick made me think of a joke I always tell people: "It's all mental" is what I say when someone I know is sick or down…
2 days ago, I was doing a bit of planning. Nothing out of the ordinary, just outlining the next few weeks as I look at my calendar and such. I caught myself doing something that I do often: I made an excuse as to why I could wait to do something. Not necessarily procrastination…
I listen to A LOT of music. Music of all genres - music that covers all kinds of subjects/themes. Music is beautiful and I don't know what I'd do without it. My favorite thing that music gives me reminders of is "relation". I go about my own life every day feeling all kinds of…
