Today I made a lunch date with a friend. I think we have been talking about doing lunch for about 2 years. She really wanted to go to lunch together. Strengthening those bravery muscles!

College Success

Sometime I want to take the time to write more about this. But I really want to make this statement. I believe the best foundation supporting happiness is giving students skills for life success. College success is all well and good. But on the other end of the stick, many college students and many smart people that are considered successful are not really happy in the careers they have studied for. Life success is a great achievement. Also career success is another great goal. Life success and career success, what heights we can soar.

Today I made a phone call.
I sucked it up and made a call.
Actually I made two calls.
Very brave I was.
No fear stopped me.
Fear had no chance.
Once I made the call,
Fear had no chance.
Now, for now.
I feel free,
and brave,
I feel new.
It won't be so hard next time,
To make the call.

What a difference a day makes

What a difference a day can make. Yesterday I had the blues and considered myself to be a total loser. Today I am happy and feel like a person worthy of love and happiness. I don't understand the way I am wired. Not at all. It's best not to think too hard and just ride the waves of life.

Today I have an anniversary. Twenty-nine years ago I began a job that I was proud to hold for over twenty years. I became a meat inspector for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. Truthfully I should have been something else. So glad I don't do that anymore. Most days I can forget it. Sometimes I have nightmares. When I wake up I am so glad to not be on that job anymore.
