Lots Going On

I  have been putting in a lot of time into some various matters because I want to move forward on some projects. We all have to set goals and make plans to implement these goals. I am going to throw on the teacher hat and make a test for my son to study by. I also have some craft projects to work on. It's going to be an early morning tomorrow so this blog post won't be much longer.

I'd like to encourage everyone to stay focused and diligent in whatever they do. If you see something that you can aim for, go for it!

It's MidTerm Test Time

It's time for Midterm tests for my son so I am delinquent with my blog. That's not good and it's no excuse but I have to put him first. The work is getting harder and I have to work with him. However, I have been keeping up with my Linette- Inspire VI page on Facebook where I share little blurbs to encourage people or to share tips and advice. The blog is more for the longer thoughts and poems that go over a paragraph.

I can't stay long because I realize that we need to go over fraction problem solving. I'll have to break it down to show that you have to find the whole first then seek to find the portion that is used. It's not easy being a parent - the provider, the teacher, the nurturer, the correcter and the counselor.

Encouragement for May 15, 2013

are you weak
are you broke
are you broken
well don't be discouraged
don't be flustered
and don't sit and just cry
Stand strong
pray for inspiration
make change in your situation

it's in your hands

POEM: Don't Fret

As we cry
as we smile
and as we live
we have burdens
some heavy
some light
and there's some things
that are just not right
but it makes no sense to fight
because
your plight
is no different
to anyone else's
it's not necessarily
a pain
sometimes
but the rain can
make some change
in the game
don't fret
cause even if
you get wet
you just have to
dry off
not fly off
just try
to manage
cause these situations
don't need to cause damage
so even while
you're famished
you have justification
to do your best
and sometimes
you just leave
the rest
but know yourself
love yourself
and stand firm
in your choices

Ten Reasons to Look Past Your Frustrations

There are lots of reasons why people get frustrated. However, there are lots of reasons to look past the frustrations and move on:

1. God loves you
2. You can succeed
3. Challenges are only for a time
4. Your family loves you and depends on you
5. You are an inspiration to other people who you may not know
6. You are a role model to some younger person
7. There are people who have it worse than you
8. You are acting too hasty on a matter
9. You may have blown things out of proportion
10. Your attitude determines your aptitude

You can't stay stuck in the past. Look forward and move forward. Remember the steps you took along your journey but don't let anything hold you back.

POEM: Where It's At

Are you afraid
or are you weighted
what's on your mind
are you fine
or are you just lost
or is your mind
in another place
as you pace and pace
not sure of where
you are going
not knowing
that time is fickle
and while you may
be tickled
with the way
life is going
don't let it all
get your down
because in time
things will turnaround
and you will be found
and when you stand
safe and sound
it'll be all ok
