Because It's Good For You!

 Because It's Good For You!...

Here is lunch. I often wonder about lunch...It seems to come at such an inconvenient time. I actually have more fun taking pictures of my lunch than I do eating it. I am a little silly about my food... Thinking about it though, I have to wonder if I am missing why we take time in the middle of our day to renew and re-nourish ourselves. Sometimes I have to admit I will be in a hurry and just grab something that is usually filled with carbs and sugar resulting in a crash of sorts of energy and willpower. I think this defeats the purpose of our lunch break. Taking a time to unwind and refuel will carry us through the remainder of the day with greater energy and clearer thought processing. I have a great need to fill my day with productivity and so a crash leaves me feeling like I have missed out on something I could have done or experienced. So eat well my friends. Take that moment to feel blessed and strengthened...It's Good For You!


What I Have Learned...

  • That I can make important connections wherever I go
  • That trials are a part of life for me and my children...It is how we react to them that leaves lasting wounds or not.
  • That ice cream after a long day is a treat...especially if you share it with someone you love.
  • That when I walk with the Lord, He will walk with Me.


What I Have Yet To Learn...

  • Still working on time management...I get involved with what I am doing and put off moving on to the next thing.
  • Be patient with me
  • Don't worry about what I have no control over


Spiritual Insights...

Isaiah 25:Chapter heading

"In Mount Zion the Lord will prepare a gospel feast of rich food--He will swallow up death in victory--It will be said Lo, this is our God.

Feasting upon good food isn't the only thing that is good for us,,, feasting upon the scriptures and the word of God can fill our souls with peace and confidence in Jesus Christ. Isaiah pleads with us to feast upon the words of the Lord and be filled.


Goals...

  • Learn how to use my sourdough start in new ways
  • pass my quizzes confidently this week
  • Understand the principle of Equity in the accounting formula better.
  • Enjoy time with my family

Celebrating Life!

Celebrating Life! What I have learned... (One final lecture) If you had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what you have learned from this course, what would you share? Lead your life!      Early in this semester I was introduced to Randy Pausch. His story was touching and inspiring as he had the chance to have clarity to what is most important at the end of life. He said in his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University,  " It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to  lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The Dreams will come to you." It struck me that he used the word "lead" instead of "live." I learned from Pausch that it is up to me to take initiative, to LEAD my life. The entrepreneurial journey is one of filling dreams and pursuing ideas. You must have confidence in yourself.  Take the initiative...take the lead! Begin with the end in mind In this journ...

Turning 60

  Turning 60... I remember thinking 25 was years away...but it came and went..and so did another 25 years and now I have added 10 years on to that. I have found something really unexpected happened. I am embracing it wholeheartedly! More than ever, I realize there is no time to waste in life. Time is such a precious commodity but the quality of it is my choice. What I do with it is up to me. I still feel excited about new things like when a school year ends and a  new one begins. I am just finishing a Semester and I have been a bit overwhelmed. But I am living proof, you can begin again and again and there is joy to be found in it. The past few months have been really full of amazing experiences...especially the last few weeks. I shared some amazing moments with family and friends. Also this month I really took time to consider our country's amazing history. I was able to go to a crazy cool exhibit brought to town by Glen Beck. I learned a lot and really came to admire the man...

When I'm Lost...

  When I'm Lost... This week with my class I feel like I am walking down a path and there are no resting spots, no signs posted that let me know how close or not I am at arriving at my destination. There is no one to sit down with to explain what I am doing or why it has to be this way, and yet here I am...I have arrived at the end of the week safely, and I am still carrying hope, and I have a fairly positive outlook that it is all ok that I don't always know what I am doing. What is most important Is that I am on the path. If I am going to get lost, It is much wiser for me to stay where I can see a well-trodden path rather than to wander off into the woods. Yes, as far as this class I feel lost...but I'm really not. I have access to a tutor, other classmates, my teacher and even heavenly help that I know will help me figure it all out. Remembering this is how I find my way "when I am lost..." What I have learned... I have learned that there are so many perspectiv...
