Its Been Awhile, but Its all Going Well.

This week was my first week working the new job at the hospital. I really really enjoyed my first week, but boy did it wear me out! The day shifts start at 7 am and I worked four of them back to back this week. Plus, I was out on a Wednesday night because a good friend of mine turned 21. Work hard, play hard. Thats the motto I usually live by. 

I really don't have many complaints as of lately. The only thing is that I'm sad because I miss people who have gone away for the summer. But it really makes my day to talk to them every now and then, whether it be on the phone, text, email, etc. 

Also, this past week, I had a really good conversation with a friend who I haven't known for very long. Turns out, they really motivated me to give some aspects of my life a chance. I was down about something I wasn't really so sure about, but this friend reminded me that I need to have the courage to give some things a chance. I can't really elaborate on that now, but maybe if/when the time is appropriate, I will. It made me that much more glad that I'm friends with that person now. 

I'll be visiting home this coming weekend, as the sister will be graduating high school. Boy do I feel old. Looking forward to it very much. I love my family and miss them. It will be good to catch up after all these months away.

Something I learned this week that I want to leave with you: compliment people often. Telling someone something positive about themselves can bring a smile to their face and it just makes you feel really warm inside. This world would be better if we all just took a few seconds to tell each other what we admire in each other.

Have a good week. Enjoy the beautiful weather, if you have it where you are :P 

Peace.
