Every day is different.

Here is another one I started last week....two posts in one day!  Who knew?

Has it really been 4 months?  I have started several posts, but have never finalized them for one reason or another.  And then...there's always something else that needs to be done instead of writing.  Study statistics, laundry, work.  I could work 24/7 on school, job and home for a month and not get caught up.  Do you feel that way too? I'm guessing lots of people do. I've always wondered about people who have nothing to do.  No requirements, no errands to run.  Who actually has the luxury of being bored on their days off?  That makes no sense to me.  There's always something new to try.  In the last 4 months, I have really been able to sink my teeth into my new job.  LOVING IT!  Even on the really hard days.  Every day brings new challenges and new blessings.  Every day is different from the one before.

This year, I have moved...twice. I spent the summer living with my friends in their gorgeous home until I could find an apartment, which I did at the end of August. The brother of one of those friends is now my roommate.  He works in Brazil, so he's only home every other month. I started school again...at ACC.  I am taking a Statistics class this semester to prepare for my grad school work at UT.  This week, I got the news that I was accepted the MSW program!!!!  That begins again in January.  The program I've chosen is 2 & a half years long, and by the time I finish, I will be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  Chandra Turner, LCSW has a nice ring to it.  Makes me feel so grateful for the events that have led me to this moment.

I've turned a corner. I'm done with the should have's, would have's, etc.  I am right where I am supposed to be at this very moment in my life.  Are there bad decisions in my past? Absolutely. Everyone probably wishes for a do-over at some point in their lives.  However, those moments do not rule me any longer.  I took a huge step in removing some specific reading material from my computer recently and that has to do with me not looking back anymore.  See the post just before this one for more on that subject.  Since I have removed said material, I feel uplifted.  I have so much to look forward to, so I'm planning on looking up and looking ahead instead of thinking about what might have been.  Feels good, doesn't it?
