Semester Recap & Happy Memorial Day

In the busyness of life, I always seem to forget something. Whether it is something at the grocery store or forgetting to get toilet paper at Target when I have already been there three times in one day, it's always a struggle! Like my dad would always say, "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body." With that in mind, let's recap this past semester of death and how it all turned out.

Even though I literally thought I was going to die from all the stress and thinking, what was I thinking for taking 25 credits, it didn't turn out so bad. My spring 2017 semester is as follows: 10 classes, 25 credits, 7 A's and 3 B's....3.75 cum GPA. I guess I can't really complain about it. I traveled another 12,000 or so miles 4 days a week, and I've already started summer school, with another 3 classes equaling 9 credits. At least this only lasts 6 weeks and then I have the rest of my summer to relax and enjoy summer!

It was another busy weekend at the winery with weddings and our big Memorial Day kickoff event yesterday. It was a pleasure serving locally brewed beer from Copper Trail Brewery to our customers this weekend. We're pretty lucky to say we have a craft brewery right here in town. Carlos Creek Winery has even partnered up with Copper Trail and Panther Distillery for a SKAL Crawl that kicks off June 1st. Check out details on Facebook, and Instagram. $15 gets you a t-shirt and a SKAL Crawl glass. Visit each establishment with your punch card and once filled out, get a discount at future visits, and discounts on tasting flights of wine, beer, and whiskey. The best thing is, you don't even have to do all three places in ONE day!! You can take as much time as you want to do the crawl.

It may be raining today and cold, but it is still a celebration for those who have fought for our country and our freedom. Thank a serviceman or service women if you know them. Thank them for their service and how much we appreciate what they do. Enjoy grilling with friends and family, and enjoy a local parade too! Whatever it is that you do today, do it with grace, with kindness, and humility and smile. You never know what every person is going through, so your kindness might make their day.

Until next time,

True Happiness

If I actually had real followers on here I might get some feedback on what truly makes you happy? Think about it......how many people can honestly say they are TRULY happy. And if you say, "Yes" I want to know your secret. Everyone has a bad day or two or a shitty situation that they wished they hadn't had to go through. But I do believe there are really, actual happy people out there, And I used to be one of them, Or maybe I was just young and naive at the time as well. The paths we take, the experiences we make, and the people we meet will all contribute to happiness. But I also think that there are too many people out there who aren't happy but aren't willing to take the steps to find out what it is that is making them unhappy and then make the change. For my instance, I have been jumping from job to job thinking that I was missing out on utilizing my creativity that I love so much.  I didn't like the daily task of data entry and poor work environment...

Catching up

It's been awhile since my last post but life has seen to be keeping me busy. The holidays were fine as usual and I was able to celebrate with a few friends. I still can't remember to write 2016 on my checks. I'm getting into the groove of teaching 3 classes a week at Vital Fit Club, which Racquetball Plus. My life has literally come in full circle. Because of how everything ended in my last communications position I've decided to look at new career options.  My self-esteem is so low on being able to complete anything correctly I just need to find my new niche. Every year in January I always ask myself why I live here in Minnesota, where winter is half the year!?! Oh well. Someday I will live in a warm state. If I try some spiralizing I will post pictures. Hope everyone has a great week and take a few minutes each day to reflect, center your body, and take a few relaxing breaths. 🎎
