Some interesting things have happened to me this week. I will be brief.

Someone told me 'If you love something enough, you will find time for it.'
This is so true. I need to make adjustments in my life.

Also, Please go to the link on the side for ALEXA LEE.... her posts are great. Her last post on Risk really spoke to me today.

Love you all... My computer is broken and rarely get a chance to get on to someone elses... so this is it for now. Ciao

A shpeel... if you will

I figure I should fill all in on what I am doing at the moment. I just finished my first handful of finals for massage therapy school. Yes, that is right... Massage Therapy. I have always wanted to do this. I held out for a long time but it was time and I finally faced some fears and leaped. I love it. I enjoy learning all about the body and pathologies! I love my friends that I have made and let us not forget- I love massages as well! :) So far I have completed Massage Basics, Advanced Massage, First Aide/CPR, Reflexology, Acupressure, Anatomy 1, Business Development 1, and Movement. whew! It's been enlightening. I do massages at UCMT's clinic in lindon, UT every saturday for an internship of sorts. It has been really fun to meet new people and help where I can.

Also, I am working at Chrysalis with some wonderful people! This is a group home for those who have mental or physical disabilities. I have not given up my career as a Social Worker. In fact, I am just waiting to see if I get into the Masters Program at the U of U which starts at the end of August. This picture doesn't really depict these characters here but they are so wonderful! From left to right -Tracey, David, Steven. I LOVE THEM. Its fun to work with them. We get to do all sorts of things- 'Dance parties' , cupcake competitions, valentines day waffles, movie night, swimming, concerts, etc. It's a joy and privilege.

The only thing I feel I am lacking is time to just be with my roomies/friends, family and boys. I have this guilt... its hard to explain. It is almost like I feel that I am a single mother working and trying so hard but never have to time just to be with the ones I love or give them what they need. And obviously, I am not a single mother and everyone, hopefully, understands how crazy my schedule is... that's life... BUT I am prioritizing though. I am finding little bits and pieces where I need to get out and have some play time. I will get the hang of it soon... hopefully. :)

All in all though- Life is good. I feel really fortunate to be where I am at. That is good enough for now. So there you have it- a little shpeel into my present living life.

It's official
