In Process...Working On It...Hoping To Achieve It...

Life has been a bit challenging lately. I continue to attend my class for work. I have come to realize that I forgot how hard college really is. In the real world, I have achieved the ability to charm my way. Use all that I have learned to Obtain what is needed. In school there is none of that, well yes there is. I continue to do good in the lab part where we do the actual numbing of patients. That is easy. I have sample state board test that I have started to study and that is mind boggling. I am lost. Especially when it comes to the pharmacological aspect of it all. GREEK! To think that I knew this at one time, not so sure. I continue to pray that I know enough to pass.
The class at church has become a good thing. Not so much for the contents of it all but for the people that I have come to know and develop a new relationship with. Last week was Foot washing. Hmmm seems like a non significant act but it was quite eye opening. Letting someone serve you and you them. Quite spiritual.
As I enter this church many years ago, I was searching. Trying to find a home in which I felt safe, excepted. Many faces where there. Faces are now becoming names. Names are becoming friends. Friends are becoming hugs. That is what I was searching for. Not to mention a husband too. Ha ha you laugh but that was not a joke. I just had the personals as a little help too.
So on too my physical challenge. I continue to go work out pretty much daily. If I am not walking at lunch, I am biking in my bedroom. I purchased a stand with some Christmas money and got dad's bike a tune up. It seems to work fine again. Thought about buying new but this one seems to do what I need. Last nite I swam a half mile without stopping or even touching the walls. I was very proud of that. When I started (Casey informed me) I could only go to the wall and back with out dying of air. I have befriended many new people in my quest for trying to learn how to breathe in the water. Most of them are in their 60's and 70's but they seem to know what they are talking about. It is funny that we don't realize how important our body is until we come to that moment that tells us that we aren't going to live forever. So reach that ah ha moment early in life and some when they get up there. I am thankful for reaching it now.

I ran outside for the first time in months last week. The air was still cool, and my lungs suffered. I am convinced that tread mill running and outside running is very different. I continue to run outside and will opt that as much as the weather holds out. I have gone as least four times this week and it seems to be easier all the time. I feel very strong. I continue to struggle with the five pounds that I have gained. I wanted to be down 10 by St Pat's race but that seems to not be priority. Not sure why but the body doesn't want to give it up. Or I just don't want to be so restrictive in my diet. Oh I know that is the reason. I need to work on it.
I continue to move forward. I am trying to find time for all of those people and things that seem oh so important to me. I am looking forward to the end of my first two challenges so that I have the summer to focus on the last. I continue to pray for none of this possible with out God in my life. I am determine, opened and focus on what I need too do. I will continue this journey until it leads me home.
