Suzannah's Blessing cont.

     During School Days, Susannah, was very, very quiet and reserved. She always dressed very
neatly, and always used the proper grammatical terms while talking with her teachers. Susannah had
really long, pretty blonde hair.  It was hard to manage at times, because it was knee length and got in the way of most every activity.  Suzannah always wanted to be presentable and always wanted to be on time, especially to important events.  Susannah never liked group work and preferred to work independently on most projects.  However when she did, it was plain old torture, no on seemed to want to come down to her level on the assignments instead, they just preferred to give her the answers. It usually worked out for her to work individually, but this time in particular, it did not.
     What made matters worse was that she had to do group work with the most immature boy in the whole school.  This little boy was annoying and always for some reason gum always ended up either in her hair, on the bottom of her shoes, or on the bottom of her desk.  It did not matter the situation, Billy always tried to irritate Susannah. Billy did not seem to have a place in the world either.  He was short, and had jet black hair.  He was the most hyper boy in class, to the best of her memory, Billy always managed to be the class clown.  Anyway, Billy was one of the boys that had a little crush on Suzannah.  It was obvious for everyone to see, because everywhere Suzannah went, Billy was sure to follow her.
      Susannah could not wait for the end of the day.  At the end of every day her mother would always have a snack prepared when she arrived home.  Susannah remembered a certain day when her mother, Diane, had made a very special snack.  It was special because it was a special day, her birthday.  Suzannah loved chocolate of any kind, especially when you could put it in pancackes.  Yes, chocolate panackes,  made especially just for Suzannah. However, the family had a pet name Sophie.  Sophie was a precious little fluffy kitty, that looked like a fuzz ball when she had her bath.  Sophie was so tickled to see Susannah come home from school, she jumped on her lap, and started licking up all the little chocolate morsels that were sprinkled on her plate as decoration. 
   Oh that was one messed up day, even when she got home.  Susannah just wanted to cry, but instead of crying she just pet the little kitty and asked for some more of her favorite dessert, chocolate panackes.  Susannah still remembered that day very clearly, the group, work the gum in hair, and then the little kitty eating her dessert.  It was okay though, Susannah came from a good family and her mom was sweet enough to make another batch, especially on her birthday. Her mother knew Suzannah was not the, " social butterfly," at school and wanted to make her birthday a little special. Her parents also got Susannah a journal, which to most middle schoolers, a journal meant nothing, but to this girl, a journal was like visiting a brand new world because she could write down all her thoughts in one place.  That day was special cause that was Suzannah's first journal, her very own special journal that would eventually become a special tool.


 Thought for today:  Have faith that God will see you through no matter what the situation.  God can take a plan that has gone wrong and make it in to a bright shinning new one, if you will just allow Him to do so."                    -Jennifer Knight Bales-

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
