This weekend is almost over. It went by really quick it feels like and a lot happened.
 |
| Brownie & Ice Cream |
It was my father's 50th birthday on Saturday but we celebrated it on Friday too when we arrived at his house.
My sister and I had make a carrot cake for him and my step-mom made him a brownie/ice cream mix on Saturday too!
Every year we make him cards for Christmas, Father's Day and his birthday. I can't remember a time when we didn't do this for him. He was very pleased with the cake and loved the cards.

| Birthday Card! |
On Friday night I had an exam to take. I already made a separate blog for this, well, it's short but to the point.
At the current moment I am in limbo with my math scores. I had a difficult time falling asleep on Friday night but listened to a couple of guided meditations before I went to sleep.
One in particular I would like to do again. It was a guided meditation on positive thinking. In fact, I might write a separate blog on it because I really believe it is very effective.
The basis of the meditation is that what we say, think and subconsciously think is what we attract in our lives. If we think negative thoughts like "I hate this pain" or "I wont find a job/it is unlikely I will find a job" than we are inviting negative things to happen to us. So, we have to reform our thinking.
Instead of "I don't want to be sick anymore" you should think "I want to be healthy or I am healthy."
Even if this isn't true at the present moment or it seems unbelievable now, we should still think positive thoughts to attract positive energy in our lives.
I really like this kind of thinking. I have heard people tell me this multiple times and even though I am normally very optimistic, I do often have doubts about my abilities. I am going to try this more often because I personally feel like so far it has made a difference for me.

Staining the gazebo in the rain
|
On Saturday I had to wake up early to go work with my dad and sister. My dad works for this very sweet woman and we help with things around the house that she can't do (gardening, painting, pool work, etc.). Her husband is in declining health so she takes care of him and doesn't have the time to do a lot of things.
The weather was really bad so we didn't spend more than about five hours there. My job was to stain the gazebo (the red looks nice right?) and also I helped with removing tree branches with my dad. She is always very kind and she pays us very well.

My sister being a hard worker : D

She also had a cake for my father's birthday and a card too. She is so considerate and her consideration has prompted my sister and I to write her Thank You letters.
After working, we all headed back home (the drive is about an hour or so) My sister and I planned to head to the store to pick up the Thank You letters. My stepmom also needed some things but everyone was really exhausted.
I felt energized so I took a shower and went by myself. I picked up some odds and ends for my dad as well as the Thank You cards.
On my way back I had the urge to visit the house that I practically grew up in with my grandparents. The only time I can see it is when I am visiting my dad and driving alone. I remembered by memory where to go even though I haven't been in about 8 years.
I actually ended up getting lost even though it was a few streets away from the store! When I finally made it it brought back a lot of memories. Everything in the house was overgrown and it was very dark outside by then.
There honestly wasn't much to see but I parked for a moment and just thought about things a little. On the way back I got myself a coffee and had to explain to my dad how I got lost. It was kind of embarrassing
Today started off really nicely. I spoke with としくん this morning which was nice because I haven't heard anything from him in two days. I know he is dealing with his own problems so I am trying to let him figure it out but I still leave messages to him when he's online.
This morning he seemed to be doing really well. It made me very happy to hear that and hopefully we will get a chance to talk soon.
I slept a lot of the day and then around 17.00 we headed back home.

New Mickey Mouse T-shirt!
|
Tonight I need to study a lot. Tomorrow is my last exam I have to worry about until Fall semester. I really want to do my very best on it.
I need to unpack my stuff and then begin studying some more. My stepmom surprised me with some new Mickey Mouse shirts today! They are really cute and I also brought back my Mickey bathroom stuff too. I will have to post it all on another blog sometime. It is all super cute!
This week will be great.
Thursday: Noraebang with friends and my sister
Saturday: Work! (I actually got some part time work cleaning through a friend)

So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.
You learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn.
Scream your name
Your thoughts, and your cries. Be nice.
Tagboard here, I like shoutmix.com. It can be 100% in width, the height you can put it as whatever. Best if the style is "wide"
Everything is Up!
