7 Things That Bring Me Comfort

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 3 which is 7 things that bring my comfort. I liked this one because it isn’t something that I would ever think to write about and since my life at work is insanely busy right now I figured this is a post I could get written pretty quickly. So let’s get on to the 7 things.

  1. The first thing that brings me comfort would have to be my two cats.
  2. The next thing that brings me comfort would have to be the stray cats that I feed at work.
  3. I am thankful that the company that is taking over the build that I currently am working in is going to hire all of us come the first of next year so I don’t have to look for a job and figure out what to do about health insurance and what not.
  4. Good food always comforts me when I am sad and what not.
  5. Reading a good book always brings me comfort because it gets me out of my own head and I get to pretend I am someone else and doing fun things.
  6. I also get comfort from watching shows that I love on TV because chances are I have already watched them and I love re-watching them.
  7. The last thing that I do to bring my comfort is watching Youtube video’s because I can always find funny video’s to watch.

Those are the 7 things I do to bring myself comfort. What do you do to comfort yourself?

Here are all the prompts for this week if you want to join in and write about one of them. If you do write about one you can click here and link up your post.

1. Share a fall-inspired drink recipe!
2. Write a poem, post or story where the last two words are ‘thought so’.
3. List 7 things that bring you comfort.
4. List 6 places on you would love to stay locally with your family.
5. Write a poem, post, or story inspired by the word: wet
6. Write a blog post inspired by the word: power
7. Create a December bucket list.

Lots Of Thoughts

Lots Of Thoughts

I was going to write something for the writers workshop but instead of doing that I am just going to write some of the thoughts that I have had over the past little while so that I can get them out of my head. I am sure they won’t make much sense but I will try to explain a bit about what and why I am thinking them. Anyway I am just going to make a list of them so you can just skim them if you want to.

  • The main thing that has been on my mind for the past few months is how both of my parents can write off their own children & families. I have seen that I can do the same thing but I don’t think I could do this to my daughter when she grows up and wants to meet me. I will never truly understand how they can and how I can just turning feelings off for a person and never look back. I do think of people again but not enough to make me seek them out. I just keep on going on and while I kind of understand that with friends I have no idea how a parent can just stop caring about their child.
  • The next thing that has been on my mind is why people still lie because let me be honest like the quote I posted on Monday people can’t remember all lies they tell so they always get caught. My dad told a few lies about me last year or the year before and since I found that out I have no need to have him in my life. I am sure he will end up alone and sad because he just can’t seem to tell the truth and he hasn’t figured out that he always get caught when he lies. There have been more lies told by him than I could ever list so now I just assume everything he says is a lie.
  • I have wondered if two people can be so connected that without having talk to each other for 3 plus years that you still know when they are struggling and when they need you or someone to lean on.

Those are the three things that I have been on my mind for that past few months and I hope now that I have written them down that maybe I can stop thinking about them as much.

What has been on your mind?

WW-A Few Great Books

Those are just a list of some of the books that I have read in the past few months and have loved. I wish I had more time to read books other than ones that are sent to me to review so that I could read some of the books written by some of my favorite authors.

What book are you loving now or who is your favorite author?

Changing Careers?!?!

14 May
Written By

This week for the writers workshop I am going to talk about number 3 which is You HAVE to go back in time and choose a different career path for yourself. What do you choose? As I sit here and think about changing careers the one thing that keeps coming to the front of my brain is that I wish I had finished school and that I was a registered nurse. I basically dropped out of school after I got pregnant and had my daughter. It has been so long since I have been in school that when I think about going back to school now I don’t know that I could or that I even want to go back to school to get my nursing degree.

I remember when I was in college people always said don’t stop going to school because once you stop or take a break you won’t go back. At the time I was in school I always thought that was stupid because I never saw myself not finishing school even if I took a break. Now that I have been out of school for years and years the last place I want to be in the world is back at school with teenagers and people who are younger than me. I am that weird person who loved school and now the thought of going to school again literally makes me sick to my stomach.

The more years I spend at the job I am at now the more I realize that I am probably going to be here forever because at this point I have done it for almost 8 years and it is all I know anymore. I remember starting this job thinking it was just going to be something until I could go back to working at a nursing home and now the longer I am here the more I realize that I don’t mind doing accounting and things like that.

It is funny to me how I have changed and my thoughts on what I want to do when “I grow up” have changed so much. I am glad I have the job I do and I am also glad that I think I am finally okay with not being in the medical field anymore. It will always be something that I love and something that just comes naturally to me but I don’t think I would be able to do the job because of the Multiple Sclerosis and things like that.

If you could change your career what would you want to do now?

Here are all the prompts for this weeks writers workshop if you want to join in on the fun.

1. Write a blog post inspired by the word: guilty
2. Write a poem for your mother.
3. You HAVE to go back in time and choose a different career path for yourself. What do you choose?
4. I know my kids really love me because…
5. Describe a home cooked meal that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

8 Things I Am Putting Off

This was one of the prompts from last weeks writers workshop that I didn’t get a chance to finish the post so I figured I would post it this week because I still wanted to write about it. I hate that I don’t have the time to blog lately but that is what happens when someone is gone at work and I am left to do try and do their job along with my own job. Anyway lets get on to the the 8 things I am putting off.

  1. Reading books that I have on my Kindle & Nook.
  2. Designing a new look for this blog.
  3. Getting post written that I keep in my rain day file for days I don’t have time to write a post for that day.
  4. Calling & taking my cats to the vet.
  5. Making an appointment to see an eye doctor about my eyes.
  6. Backing up my laptop to my external hard drive.
  7. Printing off invoice copies for the salesmen that I work with. It isn’t hard it just takes time and I don’t want to be bothered by it.
  8. Cleaning my bedroom. I always want to get to it on the weekends but I end up playing and chasing my nephew on Saturday & Sunday so it never gets done.

Those are 8 things I am putting off doing because I either don’t have the time to do them or I don’t want to do them. What are you putting off doing?
