On top of everything else I have been going through I am in finals week at school.It is good for me though,I am glad I am busy.I will say the worse thing I can do is lay in my bed.My mind starts twisting things all around and has me feeling responsible for every tragic event that ever happened in my life.I turn into Eeyore,with my sad little tail falling off.My final today in business communications is a humorous speech,you have got to be kidding.I struggled all weekend looking at a blank,white sheet of paper.I put it away and decided I couldn't do it.Yesterday afternoon some ideas started forming in my head and I started writing,I thought of Robin Williams and how often pain is turned into humor.The words started flowing and I was done.My assignment was to find humor in the boogeyman,my boogeyman is addiction,piece of cake.
(((Mary))) - so glad the words flowed and you got it done! I am sure your speech will go wonderfully - and how nice that finals weeks is soon to be behind you.
Love watching your growth and so glad that you're working your program.
Keep the chin up!
