It's all about habits...

A change in habits is a daily practice...first word of advice from my aunt.

Oh how true it is. 

I think people often don't realize that negative comments are a gateway to a negative lifestyle. It's so hard to not get wrapped up in the little negative things. I gave the example of a ordering a cheeseburger. I like my cheeseburgers plain, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, when you order it plain and it comes with ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions and a terrible smell it could be a reason to be upset. Especially when you are not in a place when you can take it back to be corrected. But there are two ways to go about this situation.

1- Get all pissed about something you cannot change, let it go cold so it's even grosser. Or just waste it all together and not eat it.
OR
2- Realize there's nothing you can do but wipe off all of the terrible additions and try to eat it. What else can you do really?

So today's lesson is you're cheeseburger is not how you ordered it... what are you going to do?

23... so glad I've made it

So I realize now that's its July...holy crap how the time flies.

I can honestly say I wasn't 100% sure I was going to make it here. I find I am still having trouble with some of my post-surgery medicines. I have to take a nerve blocker every 8 hours. My phone alarm is the most dreaded noise I've ever come into contact with.

I have finally started a "real job." I am making twice what I made at the hotel. Thank the lord. I realized this month if I hadn't started this new job I wouldn't be able to afford rent. I realize the point of an online journal, is one to write in it. (I'm working on it) but two, to get your voice out there. However, I don't want that voice to be negative.

I have asked my Aunt, who is an amazing person to help mentor me. She is very relaxed, can go with the flow, but is still completely involved and cares more than you would believe. I want so much to adapt to her ways. So I am hoping through her advice I can. I have decided this is going to be the last journal entry I complain without solutions. I think healthy venting is good. SO... if you want to take a journey of self discovery with me... let's start now!
