Ok I'm back - full of character Info

Wow! It’s been a crazy week, but I have been true to my decision to make some changes, hence the reason I have not posted in a couple of days.  I completed my application to USC, that's going well, and I'm on my way to start my classes in May.  I am so excited! :)


I never thought I would make it to the school of my dreams, and although the studies are online, after I moved from California to Arizona, my studies will still be accredited just as if I was on campus every day. :)  When I am in California I will have a student ID to visit the campus.  Never stop seeking to make a dream come true. 
Monica and Eva 2009


I have been dealing with trying to get Miss Monica situated in the drug rehab, but I found out she was given a week free to take care of things she may need to take care of and of course she took the opportunity and I haven't heard from her.  I am praying she will do what's right and stay away from the drugs. *hoping* She’s 24 years old and needs to make the right decisions for herself and her daughter, Eva.  Dear Lord, please help her.
I cleaned out my office and threw out all of the files and paperwork, 2007 and back, than reorganized the current files.  Cleanliness is so next to Godliness.  The 2010 taxes are finally completed and I will finish closing out my California Corporation next week.  I'm still seeking a bigger opportunity here in Arizona, and I have Faith it will come in due time. 

So now it's time to start looking to the weekend.  Thank God it's Friday.  We have plans with my cousin Vince and his wife Julie this weekend.  It will be nice to relax a little and visit with family on Saturday afternoon/evening.  I think I'd like to get out and about for a few hours and browse through some yard sales. I haven't eaten out for breakfast in a while and think I will treat Eric and me to an egg and cheese on flatbread with lite mayo, spinach, tomatoes, purple onion, and sweet onion sauce from Subway followed by a caramel macchiato from Starbucks.  We have a nice little outside sitting area in the shopping center where we could enjoy a nice conversation with our yummy Subway and Starbucks selections.  We don't go to church every Sunday, but I   love the worship service at our local Calvary church, so I think Sunday morning I will plan to attend and honor the Lord this Sunday in worship.

Well working on my attitude this past week has been great!  I am feeling so much more alive and together in my daily tasks and it's helping me to build a more positive character.  I've already started the process of working on my character too by changing my attitude.  Keeping a positive attitude allows us to present our personality in a much more genuine way.  I am so delighted to have completed the dreaded chores of cleaning out the prior years' of built up files in my office, as well as the negative perspectives of past challenges. 
My life is getting better and better every day as I learn to keep in mind what a wonderful world this is.  I am thankful for the knowledge God gives us in His word.  For those of you that don't know me, I love to read the Proverbs and the Psalms every day.  I read the Proverb Chapter of the day, and five Psalms a day to complete the books of Wisdom and Praise every month and then start all over again every month.  It's much more informative than reading the newspaper.  The scripture are always full of instruction and beautiful words that help to me positive and full of faith.

        Pro 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples in pictures of silver.
  

Psa 122:7
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Below are some characteristic traits that I will be seeking to incorporate more into my life.  As I continue looking back on my life and learning to keep myself feeling classy and fabulous, I am committed to bringing out, once again, the happy girly girl I remember from my childhood.  Putting the past to rest of negative thoughts and circumstances is good, but we should always take the time to make sure that as we put the past behind us we're not throwing away the happy and cherished memories in midst of them. Never let memories get away, especially those that makes you smile. :)  

Here are some Characteristic Traits I'd like to work on or add to my life:




Writing this blog has allowed me to find so many more interesting ways of living my life, and I am excited everyday to work towards the 5 areas of care I spoke of in an earlier post, "girly girl tips."  Today, I feel the change of attitude has given me more energy to keep busy and more positive thoughts that have allowed me to feel wonderful being me.  I think I will try to find the time this weekend to find the information I need to start a garden in my backyard.  I will continue my journey this next week discovering the best way to work through those characteristic traits that need to be worked on, such as sharpening my natural strengths as well as changing my natural weaknesses to becoming strengths.  Someday I will be made perfect, but until that day I am truly a miraculous work in progress and a happy girly girl. :)
Until next time, keep smiling and taking care of all those amazing qualities in you, and don't forget to make some changes, go for a bike ride, clean out a closet, browse through yard sales or a thrift store, and take yourself on a breakfast/coffee date, drag along your spouse, if you have one.  I will be working towards changing all that I can to make my life a happier, healthier one, by finding more girly girl ways to laugh.  Remember what Audrey Hepburn said, "Happy girls are the prettiest girls."  :)
      Hugs,
