One day at a time

Another beautiful Spring day on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! It has been another day of sunshine, cool breezes, and good company. So much can change in a day. Just starting a new term in school gets me so excited. I did some school work while BBQ 'in the other day! Fred and I finally went fishing. I hope the next time we go it can be just me and him, maybe then we'll catch something. But oh well, maybe next time. I am taking two classes this term, Nutritional Assessment and Anatomy and Physiology. Each of these courses is fun and exciting and a lot of work. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have been given in being able to go back to school and to be able to study a curriculum like the one at Kaplan. In each of my last two terms I have taken a Composition course and fallen short in my achievements. I have let too many distractions get in my way of achieving my goal. But I shall not be discouraged. There are still so many things going on but I think that with a little more focus I will accomplish what I need to do! I am thankful that the Lord continues to bless my nephew Caiden while he tries to recover from pneumonia.

still going

I have truly enjoyed this semester in school. I am still excited about everything I learn with each term. Kaplan has given me the opportunity to follow my dream of proper nutrition and be able to do this on my own time! I tell you I am such a proud student. When I first started with the university not many people knew about it. Now it seems there is a commercial on every channel and I just get so proud to be a part of this generation that is able to overcome obstacles of not being able to attend a traditional school, but still be able to acheive their goal of a degree! I hope that each of you has a grand experience with achieving what you truly want to have! I will keep my blog going and hopefully will continue to 'see' some of you in future classes! Good luck everyone and God bless!

time keeps going

No matter what I have to get done, time doesn't stop for me or anyone else! I have had a lot of personal obstacles set before me this term, it seems more than I have had in recent years. I know truly that it is not more than I can handle, there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get it done and on schedule! But I shall get it done with a smile on my face and joy in my heart for each moment that I have I am learning to treasure it for exactly what it is. A precious moment that everyone is not getting. While traveling on the road this past week we came across a horrific accident! My heart continues to go out to the family who lost a mother and father, a sister and brother, friends. There were a lot of people affected by this accident. Traffic was backed up for miles and hours. As we passed the held up traffic I noticed how people had gotten out of their cars and were conversating with others. It made me think how one person's tragedy can turn into another person's opportunity. I am in no hurry anymore. I take pleasure in every moment that I am given and hope that each of you is able to do the same. Our road ways are dangerous so please just take your time and enjoy the ride!
