I always want to know everything about everything. Wouldn't that make life so much easier? I find myself spinning my wheels all too often, just to find out something that is on my mind right at that moment. I am struggling with a balance between healthy learning and trying too hard to make meaning out…
As an emotionally, analytical person, I wrestle with every decision I ever make. My emotions try to take immediate control of every situation and I want to jump right into what I feel. On the other hand, my brain wants me to take time and calculate decisions. I like to write down the facts, take…
I've discussed recently about the benefits of opening up to those around you. I realize how difficult that can be. It's hard to be open and vulnerable with others around you. I thought about my journey through life, and although opening up to my friends was hard and a big step for me, there…
I kept trying to figure out a word to describe my mood the last few days. I haven't been sad, or angry, or confused, or down. It took me a while to figure out that I have been distracted. I have been out of focus. Whether that distraction is self-caused or something around me…

As I go about my day, I try my best to have a positive attitude. I want to portray a smile and a head held high to others in hopes that it will help improve their day. Does it always work? No, but you never know who might need it. Even when we are…
Every day, I find myself reminding myself to do many things. Just this morning, in 2 hours, I recognize all of these reminders I gave myself: Enjoy your golf today. Don't let your head get in the way and don't get angry if something doesn't go your way. Give yourself enough time to blog, journal,…
