Rock, Paper, Scissors

When I looked in the Webster's New World Pocket Dictionary, I found the defintion for overwhelmed:

1. Cover over completely and 2. Crushed

As most of us are familiar with the game, Rock Paper Scissors, we know that the paper covers the rock and the rock crushes the scissors. What a great example of overwhelmed! Okay maybe not the best, but it got the point across!

I have noticed in a few posts students talking about the amount of work to be done and the little time they have. Since school started I have been under under that rock and piece of paper that feels more like a brick! However, I have started an end of the month resolution! For the last half of school, I am going to try and complain less! If my mom saw this she would be shocked and probably laugh! Haha. I have a lot of things I look forward to after Spring Break and a lot of goals that I am working on this summer. I am a hard worker and love life. I need not let school get in the way of having fun, whether I am learning or not. I think it is a good practice as well for when I start teaching. People are frustrating at times, older and younger.

I have realized, with the help of others, that I need to enjoy life, no matter what the "game" brings. Rock, Paper, or Scissors? The game would not be fun without the three and so life would not be life without feeling a little overwhelemed. Under pressure, I usually get motivated faster, although I hate feeling rushed! Working in retail, I have learned to deal with people and my own feelings a lot better. The managers there say you have to be able to laugh and not take things personal. Of course it is easier said than done, but being able to focus on what I need to get done and where I hope to be by the end of the year, I know I can work on this "stressing out" concept. Philipians 2:14 reads "Do all things without complaining and disputing..." And so a new week will begin. Until next time...
