"It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had."

A little perspective

So I had a little down time before work, after out meeting this morning. I'm s-buxing it up at the wrong s-bux, missing Kenzie, and blogging on my iPod. I was just reading an old note from when I first started aveda. I Think will share it again. It's always good to look back on old goals, see which ones made it and Which ones bit the dust, and also which ones could be re integrated into life as I know it now. I apologize for Any spelling errors here, I am on my iPod after all. So here's to being re-inspired in life, and putting my best January foot forward. Perhaps later(if motivation sparks) I will make a new list of goals. Anyway, ENJOY, and may you also feel inspired to be better different, or changed.

Raaaaaar

I don't know how often I will keep up with this little "note" Idea of mine HOWEVER, I am going to do my best to jot down a couple thoughts every day in reflection of my newest adventure. AVEDA.

Day one- BORING, and LONG.... We never made it into the classroom and it felt kind of stuffy to sit for 5 hours in a dimly lit room. However the room was BEAUTIFUL.

Day two- Much better than day one in terms of boring-ness HOWEVER, I was EXHAUSTED from the previous day, and the twins game the previous night. I do believe I got max, 6 hours of sleep.....we ALL know that I'm at least and 8.5 hour kind of girl. YIKES 6 a.m to midnight can kind of seem a bit brutal 2 day's in a row, ya??? :)


Day three- SO FUN!!! I'm LOVING the things that I am ALREADY beginning to learn, I am already going to start needing models in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for that, I will be sure to let you know. :)

I strongly enjoy being in the classroom right now. I more strongly enjoy the 15 minuet speed breaks I get, and my wonderful friend Lauren that I take them with. Prop's to her for walking vs. smoking. :) healthy and wonderful choice with MANY benefits if you ask me. My class is starting to grow on my a bit more. It is awfully overwhelming at times being in a class with 50 18 and 19 year olds. But like I said, I'm getting used to them and their many complaints, repeated question's and obnoxious attitudes at times. Oh the things that secretly go through my brain...all encouraging and uplifting of course. :))))

I ADORE my teachers, I don't so much adore my simple cheese sandwiches any longer. I think I'm going to have to start making PB&J.

We had to come up with 3 goals on the 2nd day of class that we were going to try to uphold to through out this year. Mine were as follows:


* To have perfect attendance
* To utilize the MANY stairs during my brakes...TONES BUTT AND THIGHS. :)
* To bring my own lunch daily (which conserves all the money that I currently don't have)

Some extra goals not mentioned in the class room:

* To be one of the best if not THE best in my graduating class
* To be a constant encouragement to the people around me
* To enjoy as many moments as possible, and to give God glory in ALL that I do
* To SAVE SAVE SAAAVVEEE (not just on lunches)
* To walk outside as often as possible, even in the up coming winter
* To be to school EARLY EVERY day
* To get 9 hours of sleep every night (YIKES, considering I would have to go to bed at 9 every night)
* To better myself, learn more about who I am and who I am supposed to be, and to continue taking steps FORWARD.
* Last, but most importantly, I would like to do my very best to start EVERY MORNING out with devotions and time for Jesus. Because seriously, my day's would be worthless if not for him, and when I don't start them out with him, little negatives tend to pop up all around me.

ANYWAY, thanks for reading and stay tuned for my (hopefully) daily updates.

I'm SOOOOO excited for this adventure, I feel as though it has been a long time coming, and now that it is FINALLY here, well it's hard to know what to do with myself. :)

Love, peace, blessings,

Tif

PS: did I mention what an AMAZING God we serve??? AHHHH he is SOOOO FAITHFUL!!!
