Gratitude 4 and OMG!
1. I am grateful that the week is half over! 😛 It has been nothing but go-go-go since Sunday…. 2. I am grateful that my bf is back and that I also had the chance to miss him. It’s not that I was taking him for granted by any means, but usually I am the one…

Gratitude 3
Okay, I skipped yesterday, but it is part of my gratitude for today! 😉 1. I am grateful for the ability/need to take a full day off from studying or worrying about studying. It was much needed. Yesterday, I contemplated reading or writing a little, but then decided I was going to take the full…

Need Some Serious Motivational Boost!!!
Yesterday I stared on the computer and contemplated the fact that I really do NOT need this PhD. Yes, I am nearly finished and all that, but I was really in a bad mindset. So, I took the day ‘off’. I attempted a bit before I went to meet a friend for lunch and though…

Varied Understandings…
It has been gnawing at me as to why I am irritated with the people staying with me – or rather the husband. He’s lovely – no doubt. Yet, each time he talks to me I feel annoyance. This morning, it dawned on me or at least became a little bit clearer: *I am not…

Getting Settled in Old Age…??
It was a nice weekend and I even managed to get a bit of work done – never enough – and relax too! 😀 Now, it’s time to get back to it. Need another chapter out in the next couple of days and have to just settle in to it. Will be heading off to…
