Strong?

This week is full of transitions and change. It is completely out of my comfort zone, and to be honest I am scared of the unknown.

I am trying not to let it get it ahead of me or get to me…anxiety…fear…doubt.

I can do this–just have to get through the first week, right?

Asking for prayers, and uplifting thoughts due to fatigue and stress at the moment. Thank you!!

Blessings!

Decisions

Lately there have been lots of changes at work for lots of people.  Changes have been happening quickly for many, and you have to make a decision pretty quick–like overnight—check with your family if you want to pursue this or not – quick.

Some people have difficulty making a decision.  Not making a decision in itself is a decision.  I have always said this to our kids.  Just make a decision – right or wrong – make it.

Leadership is the same – you have to make a decision.  Waiting, and not making a decision is usually the worst decision.

Carmen’s Thoughts – Tiffany Blue

During what seems like ages ago, back in junior year of high school, I got tired of the yellow-beige color of my room that came with the house when we moved in. So I took the Tiffany box I had to Lowe’s, matched the color for wall paint, and bought the supplies I needed to paint my room. No one in the family would help, no matter how much my 17 year old self tried to convince them to (I’m sure that went professionally). It took a few months of moving furniture and sleeping on the couch, but I painted my room all by myself #grownup.

Fast forward to present day. Stephen is living in my room, and it’s actually kind of funny to see his gaming stuff and clothes in this Tiffany blue room. Well, he’s moving out again, and I was just starting to think of visits home in MY bed in MY room, NOT on the comfy air mattress (not sarcasm – it’s actually really soft), when Mom said that they’re painting it grey (excuse me?!) and putting my stuff in the attic (NO).

Mom already painted Stephen’s original room grey for the craft room. Help me keep my Tiffany box room alive, and stop Mom from painting the house grey. One room is just fine. The whole upstairs? No.

My parents want to make my room a guest room, but I’m their only guest…? Can’t I just take my economics class in peace this summer? I feel a flail coming along.

Disclaimer: I’m going to be okay with this. I don’t have to help my brother move out, and Mom said they’re moving my stuff in the attic. Didn’t say I had to do it. Or paint the room again. As long as I’m welcome to come home and my stuff isn’t on the lawn, I’m happy.

Too much

So apparently I spent too much on one side yesterday…

I need to have an even out day! Ugh! I know better. Oh well.

Happy Monday.

Sunday Thoughts

Love where I live…

It’s been an exciting week for me, with lots of changes I will talking about next week. Overall good things that have come from hard work and excellent leadership examples.

Today I needed to rest, and take this in. Tomorrow will be busy, but ready for the opportunity that it brings.

Blessings!
