Today's Happiness Quota: Good. I had a very productive quiet Monday in the office, came home to a clean house, hubby stopped at the store on the way home and brought home dinner and groceries. This perfect "non-storm" means I can do homework at a reasonable hour - Yes!!
Today's Happiness Quote: If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes - A. Carnegie
Today's thoughts: I am at the moment in my homework assignment where I am certain that I will not be able to complete it in time. There just seems to be so much left to do, even though I have already put in several hours of research and writing over the last couple of days. History has proven time and time again that this is simply just part of the process. I don't recall ever turning in an assignment late, but I've been in college since 2001, so I'm sure it has happened. Some assignments may have had typographical errors in them when I rushed to finish them by the deadline, but those that escaped all my editing attempts are few and minor infractions that don't take away from the paper's message or demonstration of my knowledge and understanding of the topic.
I have learned to appreciate an instructor's notes when these errors appear and to forgive myself and accept that I turned in the best work I possible could in the time I had all while taking care of day job, home, family, volunteer responsibilities, my current writing project, and myself.
Okay - break over - pep talk done - back to the business at hand - bye for now
