LIVING

Some of us go through life in such a farce that we don't realize that we are just living and not LIVING. We take our days for granted and forget to stop and smell the roses. You say how can I say that; Well I'm one of those people just going through life and not LIVING. Everyday I got to PT come home go back to work, make sure soldiers are taken care and then I come home cook for my husband and daughter watch a little TV and then finally I go to bed and start the process all over again. Then when the weekend comes around all I want to do is either sit on the couch or sleep. Just letting life pass me by. Every now and then I get out with my family and do something, but believe me it is not that often. However today I have decided that will all change I will now begin to live everyday like it is the last day. I will begin to do things that make me happy. I will now do more than sit on my couch on the weekends; as well as not stress about what did not get done today or what I will have to do tomorrow. So ladies join me and start taking time out for yourself and not feel guilty about it.

MILITARY LIFE

Active duty military is hard, but being dual military is even harder. I'm a mom, a wife, and a soldier. We have just pcs'd to FT. Stewart, GA. This move was very hard for me, because it was my first move as a dual military family. PCS'ing was so much easier when I was single. Now there is no I have to make a decision its we have to make a decision and we don't always agree things; So we have learning to agree to disagree or meet in the middle. 

A Woman's Expectation

Women are expected to love a man with all of her soul. Women are expected to give her all to a man. Women are expected to be loyal no matter what. Women are expected to take care of her through it all. Yes women are expected to do it all. Why do we expect so much of ourselves but we tend to settle for less. I mean we hold ourselves to very high standards and beat ourself up when we don't achieve or exceed those standards. Yet we allow our men to get away with so many things. We allow them to not give us their all and then we put all of our trust in them. We depend on them to complete us instead of letting them compliment us.  Don't get me wrong I love my beautiful black strong men. I just think that we as the beautiful black strong women we are should expect the same high standards from our men.

HAPPINESS

I've decided that 2011 will be the year of nothing but happiness. I will be making my life happy and bringing happiness to people in my life. 2011 will consist of me doing things that make me happy. I will be going through the steps of completing my plans for my future. No one can love you as much as you love yourself.

HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!

Living Life Happy

I wake up every morning happy and blessed to see another day. I smile and get out of bed with a daily prayer to thank God for letting me see another beautiful day. My husband and I are both active duty soldiers and have both been to Iraq for multiple deployments. He and I both are very blessed to have come home with not a scratch being that we both were involved in OIFONE. I take it one day at a time. I hear these experts say that deployment is not the reason for some soldiers committing suicide. However these experts have not been on any deployments watching their buddies go down from small arms rounds or being blown up from IED's. I've seen a lot and been through a lot. I'm telling you being shot at and not being able to see your enemy or not knowing who the enemy is not fun. I'm proud that I served my country and made my family proud. Now I have war stories to tell my grandchildren LOL.

Weekends

I am a person who really hates going to work, but at the same time I like working. However I take advantage of all of my weekends. Saturday's and Sunday's are my best friends. These two days I get to do what I like to do. For I'm starting my own business online and I also plan to get more into selling my Mary Kay products. The year of 2011 will about me getting myself for retirement from the Army. This plan is part of my Living Life Happy.

A NEW DAY

I have about a week or two writing my blogs. I have had this headache for a while now and finally decided to go see a doctor about it. It's amazing the diagnosis you get from them sometime; however I was told that I may be having muscle spasms in my face and neck area causing me to have the sever headaches. I was giving a shot before I left the clinic and prescribed a muscle relaxer. The shot actually helped with the stiff neck however my headache did not completely subside, so I'm going to take the muscle relaxer in a few to see what happens. I do feel that the doctor I saw today really listened and cared about my well being. As much as I hate going to the doctor's office my experience today was a good one.

New Year

You know every year I say I'm going to bring the New Year in with a bang and every year I'm sleep before the New Year even begins. I said again for the coming in of 2011 and once again a sister was sleep no later than 1030. I have finally come to a realization that partying in the New Year is not me, so for the next year I'm going to enjoy living life happy.
