October 6th, 2008
Each and every week were faced with new challenges. It is how we deal with these challenges that seem to make the difference. This week has been no different than any other week, with one major exception; the passing of my Grandmother.
Unfortunately we were not real close. A variety of issues was the cause of our
becoming somewhat distant over the last 3 to 5 years. It was good to go and see
some of my real father’s family, to extend my blessings to them. Also to give my
grandmother the respect she deserved.
This
week at school has been challenging as usual. A mid-term exam in Computer
programming class, in which I could have done better if I would have been more
prepared. Something I pride myself on, being prepared. Instead of letting it get
me down and kicking myself for it, I just had to let it go. After all I also
have a math test to do well on this week too! Life is about learning, and
sometimes in my life the learning has been difficult; it must be that rebel in
me!
This
also applies to last week‘s theme of working on creating a better balance in my
life. This, as I’ve said here is always a work in progress. A learning process
that is; but then again, that is, why I came back to school, to learn. I just
didn’t know I’d learn so much about the man that I am!
Again
thanks for allowing me to share!
To
all, Have a Great Week!!!
