Summer?

My summer break is here! Err I get a break, I just don't know if you can call it summer. The weather has been more of a spring or fall picture and a bit dismal. However, I shall not grumble too much since I am not in school for a good while. I ended last quarter with a 3.9, 3.5, 3.5 and 3.7. Not too shabby for working full time and being a single mommy. Even though my break is here, I don’t seem to let myself practice it. I have about a million projects lined up for myself and I have already dived right in. Right now we are working on re-doing Alex's room; which we have cleaned, primed, painted and redecorated. I have given her my bed and bought myself a new beautiful canopy bed with a top of the line mattress….yummers! The money I spent makes me a little nervous, but I've heard that when buying a bed, to splurge on a good one.
Above and beyond my projects, slowing down has allowed me to re-examine my life. I can get caught up moving so fast that it flies on by without consideration. Too frequently, I find myself becoming someone that I would not befriend. Exasperation becomes commonplace that I am irritable, stressed, bitter, and annoyed. The speed of life causes me to react without deliberation. This will be a good time for me to do some spring cleaning; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I would love to get back into church, start some studies, read some dusty books, interact and meet my community through volunteering and activities. I want to feel alive! The world is just waiting for me to come and play; not continue in self indulgence, pity or insanity. A good 3 month refresher and then back to psychosis for another 9 months! Look out world; my spirit is being revived!
