I have been doing a lot of thinking about the small things in life that affect the larger picture. Things like, we complain about being held up in traffic because of an accident, and yet we don't realize that the person(s) injured in that accident is someone's brother, mother, father, etc. Too much of our time is spent thinking and reacting to the fact that others are causing us an inconvenience, rather than how we are all apart of a large community that needs one another to function.
I have a few New Year's resolutions that are similar to the above thought.
1) Complain Less
2) Nag Less ( mostly for my husband's benefit)
3) Let things go a little (i.e. the house doesn't have to be cleaned as soon as I come home)
4) Appreciate other people have their own story and way of doing things that are different from mine, and mine is not always the best way.
5) Become a more informed person ( about the world, what we eat, how we live...)
Those are just some things I have been thinking about recently.
Now, school is becoming much more challenging. We are writing three and four stroke words and it is often difficult for me to hear where the words should be separated. It is taking me about 2 hours to get through a chapter's practice in the evening, where it used to take me about 45 minutes. However, English is easy as cake. We have a quiz on sentence structure this week and have to post a couple of paragraphs on what we are struggling with in the course. That will be hard (insert sarcastic tone).
Time for more ENGRISH!
