Time Management

Time affects you everyday all day long. Sometimes days fly by and other days they just seem to fly by. How do you manage time? If you’re like me you just go with the flow, but a schedule seems to do good.

See I’ve never had enough time in a day to get everything accomplished I wanted to. When there might be free time it always seems like something else comes up. I’ve tried a schedule but it doesn’t fit my lifestyle , between work, school and my own life time doesn’t go slow enough.

I did find an incredible site that offers information on time management. Just click on the link below.

Community Service

Community Service is what you and other people benefit from. I wish I had more time for a community service project. I was first exposed to community service when I entered high school. Now, I did participate in little ways before that but I didn’t understand the meaning until then. There are so many benefits that come from service projects and the meaning behind it is touching. Community service ranges from donating old coats and jacks to revamping a park or cleaning up a neighborhood.

Some issues that trouble me are;

Abuse-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse
Unemployment- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse
War-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War

There are many things you can do to help in your area. So lets get started.

Coping with Change

Let's start off with saying that "change is hard to deal with."

After I graduated I thought the hardest part was over but later I realized that it had only began. If you knew me back then you would have known that I was engaged. Yes I did say engaged. It wasn't a mistake but it was the wrong choice. We had planned moving into our first house together and we even had a shared banking account. So when we broke things off in May of '07 I just couldn’t stand staying in El Dorado and that's when I left. I ended up moving to Houston, Texas. Talk about change right.

See there was this guy name "Owen." Owen and I had met through a couple of friends and ended up friends our self. And the more time we spent together the more I felt a connection. We never discussed a relationship because I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend. Therefore we went our separate ways, but the thought of him would race through my mind all the time. About a year with out speaking was all I could take. It was then I felt a miracle unravel. A week later his Grandmother came into my work and after a couple minutes of speaking with her I realized who it was. I immediately exchanged phone numbers with her and a couple days later I was speaking with Owen again. It couldn't have been at a worse time because that's when my engagement was on the rocks and eventually ended a couple days after.

That's why I went to Texas. See he had left for school and I went down there to spend sometime with him and get away from El Dorado. We'll I had all the same feelings for him I did two years before, upon arrival. So I made the decision to make Houston home. We stayed there till he graduated college then moved back. But the time spent with him was time spent with my best friend. Even if it was the worst emotional roller coaster, which it was it didn't matter because everything seemed perfect when we were together.

Change can come bad or good but no matter what kind of change it is it's going to effect you in everyway possible. Just remember "things happen for a reason."
