Throughout the last month, I have thought of a million things to write and actually thought I had... I think I write blogs in my head but never get a chance to sit down and write... I will admit that a lot of it had to do with me being sick. The last couple of months have been crazy, I start out getting a little cold and get better and then it comes back worse and I get stronger medicine and it goes away and then it comes back worse and I find out i have bronchitis........ sheesh, I wish i knew that to start with and started with the antiboitics... it would have cut out a lot of misery.... I finally got a real dose of the real world though because I used to skip class if i felt that bad and even if i went, i still had lots of time to rest. but here I still had to work, other than the one day i was forced to call in sick... and although I felt like my head would explode at times or i would cough up a lung, I was still busy and doing things and it taught me a lot... i know now that i can do what has to be done!
So thanksgiving just passed and it was relaxing. The week before Thanksgiving was full of senior dinner, kids club dinner, communities dinners, esl banquets and speaking at a church and eating with them... so a lot of time was preparing food or mingling and talking and eating with people. I quite enjoyed it, I was truly in my element... actually i was excited. Somehow I didnt ever get stressed out, these were the type of things i am good at and can carry the pressures with stride since i enjoy them so much... however, that isnt a gift everyone possessed and a lot of ppl on staff were getting stressed out and that brought tension over the whole center... that is something i cant handle well, the tension, so I went out with Jonathan to run errands on wed to get away from the tension and stress of ppl (and i got lost in houston of course) and when we got back everyone was gone to their places for the weekend (jonathan and i were the only ones staying).... and it was an instant relaxation. We havent been able to sit back and enjoy ourselves for a while so it was WONDERFUL! We sat and watched Christmas movies... (oh i recommend The Ultimate Gift) and then i baked and set up for the dinner the next day and a few staff members that dont have a lot of family joined us (they brought the food) for dinner on Thanksgiving..... then we set back and relaxed the rest of the day... me taking care of Jonathan since i kinda got him sick... and yesterday we even spent the whole day together shopping and it was so much fun!!!! who knew that would happen, but he was happy because I showed him places that he could get nice clothes for low prices (proof i was a college student with no dinero)... we had fun and we came back laughing and happy.... ppl are starting to get back and we are now on the last stretch with a lot of Christmas stuff... which i take joy in and is another area of low stress for me... but I just pray that it stays that way for others and they enjoy themselves at this time of year.........
Okay I plan to write more later and share a devotional that helped the last few weeks!!!
