Here we go again!
I guess I really have issues keeping up with this blogging ish! But I try my best. Haha. Here’s an update… Work is still rockin’ with the same bullshit. Probably never gonna change at this point. I think it’s too far gone for the store I’m at. I’m trying to escape, TRUST ME! Better pay & better opportunities are my motive right now.
I’m sure if you’ve kept up with my posts from past few months you’re wondering about my Gramma. She’s still in hospital… Going on about 2 & 1/2 months. I miss her more every day & I definitely hate being so far away from her. She’s doing well… Getting better takes time, but she is making progress. Still praying, hoping, & wishing harder & harder every day.
We took a pretty huge/exciting family trip to San Diego 2 weeks ago to see my Gramma & also to catch a break from the dramas of living in the city of sin! All my cousins went, along with my mother & siblings, even my boyfriend came along for the ride. It was good getting to spend time with my papa & uncle & cousins… we all spent a crazy day at Knotts. Rollercoaster after rollercoaster & laughing like crazy! Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!
& As the days go by, all I can do is stay positive. Because everything is going to be okay.
Every day is another chance to make things right.
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else —The small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
‘Take care of the golf balls first —
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’i remember reading this awhile back when i was feeling in the dumps. it’s a coincidence that i stumbled upon this again because i’ve been feeling like total shit for the past week. i need to remember not place a high significance on the things that don’t matter much, but rather focus on the people who give me a reason to get up every morning because without them, i don’t know where i’d be.
It’s Wednesday… ALREADY?!
It can’t be… I feel like my vacation is flying by, but I’m gonna enjoy it as much as possible. That’s for sure!
A lot has happened since I last posted… My Gramma is doing better, not exactly where she should be right now, but better is always good! Every little wish & prayer works… My ohana is just taking things one day at a time. We actually find out more info today on how she’s doing, so fingers crossed! My mom came home from San Diego yesterday & the house feels a little less empty now. Trying to plan our nxt trip out the SD to visit my Gramma & bringing the boyfriend along for the ride :) I’m happy he’ll get to meet more of my family & go to Knotts with us! It’ll be a fun trip.
Yesterday was pretty exciting. New car exciting! Hahaha. Went down to a dealership with my boyfriend yesterday to look at a car he’s been scoping out. Honda Element to be exact. You knw how car dealers get though… Try to get you to purchase the car right away with all the high down payments & off the wall monthly payments. It was pretty ridiculous, but with a short trip to the bank we’re hoping he gets a loan to get the car right away. Fingers crossed on that one too!
Well, it’s about to hit 8am. Gonna get my day started. Oh & wish me luck on getting this new job! I REALLY NEED IT!
& Last, but not least:
I had a fortune cookie the other day that I didn’t eat, but my bf did… He saw the fortune inside & gave it to me because it would’ve been mine & it relates so much to how I’m feeling. It was really ironic…
A good laugh & a good cry both cleanse the mind.
Enjoy the sunshine today :)
Love Always,
Kay<3
