My First Blog on Zaadz!

Posted on May 31st, 2007 by Kat : Think what you will...Thank those that make you think. Kat
As is my way, I begin to think upon something that intrigues, worries, or interest me and it fills my writing.  Today my thoughts are dark. I am filled with anxiety over many things. My current GPA being a 4.0 may suffer from my not so wonderful test scores in Business Math. Though, it will not drop below a 3.5, I am sure, that is not my desired score. My house is in shambles. The remodel on the kitchen is taking longer and much more money than I thought it would. The children are batty and are still suffering from Summer Break Syndrome. I am tired, sick, and worn like and old shoe that has been walked upon for  miles. The main theme of my thoughts today are swirling around a vortex of worry about my future. It is hard being 26 and carrying the work load I do. I know many others are doing it and have done so before me but that doesn't really ease my mind. There is one tiny comment in the eye of the vortex that has caused this mighty turbulant storm of my thoughts and emotions. I quote, "You are wasting time and money going to school. You should be focusing on better things." Now, who said these nasty words to me is not important. The only information on that person that pretains to this blog is that it is a person that I love, respect, and have the utmost desire to please.  In this case I know they are wrong. I am stubborn and I know I will prove them wrong. I know I am doing the right thing. The problem being, I now have a million, "What ifs" running through my mind.

Welcome to zaadz Catherine…your profile pleased the English professor in me!!! anyone who likes Dickens is to be admired. My fav is “Dombey and Son”

As to your post about worry: Worry is paying for a debt we may never owe. And yet we cannot help worrying over things…my mother worried day and night…only thing she got was more ulcers…

The future takes care of iteself whether you worry about it or not…it has it's own agenda. There is only now…that is all there ever is!

What better focus could you be working towards than school for what it is you intend to do? We need the tools to succeed. what would this person rather you be doing? What “better thing”??

“Follow your bliss” Catherine…you need not please anyone but yourself, in pleasing yourself others can either be with you or against you…but they are NOT you…

I loved school so much I wanted to go back each fall! Now I teach and I get to go every fall and spring and summer too…!!!
Don't sweat the small stuff….a  4.0 or a 3.5 don't matter in the scheme of things… and “what if's” only serve to divide you…

Be. Live NOW…this is all there ever is….and you deserve the best…

Oh! And keep reading those lit books….they contain the wisdom of the ages….

Blessings!!!
