Woke up this morning feeling a bit off and a tad of a sore throat. I’ve been feeling a bit run ragged the past two weeks and haven’t had much of an opportunity to do what I need to be doing. I had to choose between a paycheque and working out sometimes. A hard choice to make when you know in a few weeks, you need to be in tip-top shape. I lost out on a lot of training time the past six to eight months and it’s pretty discouraging. However, I read somewhere the other day that something like, 67% of our course time is in classrooms and I think, 13% is physical stuff. I can’t remember what the exact numbers were or what the other 20% is but I need to just believe that I can do this. I’ve come far and I know there’s still lots of room for improvement… but I’ve done so much this past year, that I never imagined I could do.

I’ve grown.

Faced with these adversities, I know I’ve grown in so many ways. While some of my friends joke that I seem to have the worst luck in the world sometimes, I know that these events happen so that I can learn something from them and maybe one day, the experience will come in handy somewhere! The last year, I’ve really tried to stay positive. With everything that has gone on, I can’t believe I didn’t go insane.

I’m stubborn.

I know that when I get an idea in my head, I need to follow through with it. I need to learn to trust my instincts again and just react instead of thinking things through. I need to just roll with things sometimes and I need to keep on doing what I’m doing. That’s the only way to finish something, right?

I’m determined.

I worked hard this past year. I will continue working harder the upcoming year. Easy as pie, right? Well, maybe it won’t be easy as pie but I will definitely keep being persistent and will keep remaining positive about everything that has been going on.

All of that being said, I can’t write too much more tonight. The pre-move inspection is tomorrow and I have quite a bit of things to do before they come. It’ll be a late night but at least I can sleep in a bit tomorrow (hopefully, depending how late I am up tonight!)… this weekend, regardless of what ‘work’ I have left done, I am doing two things to spoil myself! One, is sleeping in. Two? Going to the beach for the first time in years, and just relaxing in the warm sand and enjoying my one last stab of summer!!
