Direction in life

What gives you direction in life?

In this blog, I will name the one absolute certain entity that gives me direction in life. One entity is God! He is the absolute perfect entity. Without him, I would have not survived being shot in the head. He saved my life so I have gratitude for that. He provides me with direction and everything happens when it is supposed to. All I have to do is be patient and he does the rest.

So in conclusion- God gives me direction in my life. Thank you for reading l.

Quote to live by

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

In this blog, I will discuss a quote I live my life by or think about often? Lots of people have different quotes they live by. The one I live by and still use. An old friend said it to me.”Look at your options.”

When I am driving, it helps a lot. If I can easily go right onto a street is a better option than going left and risk hitting a car. If I am not at a traffic light, that has a green arrow, don’t make a left-hand turn, unless I am positively able to do it.  “Look at  my options,” can be applied to a lot of different scenarios. Such as college, is it easier to major in nursing or being a doctor. Look at your options, probably being a nurse is easier than being a doctor. But whatever you decide make sure you are happy with that decision because it is your career. Look at your options, can also help with meal planning. If you have items for both spaghetti and salad, and you are crunched for time. Look at your options, the salad might be easier to make than the spaghetti.

Well, that is the quote I live by and think about it often, look at your options. Thank you for reading.

Yes certainly

Have you ever been camping?

In this blog, I will answer the question, have I ever been camping? Yes I have been camping.

A long time ago, when I was 12 years old, I went camping with my family. We went camping on Mt Lemon a mountain by southern AZ. It was my mom, my stepdad, my sister, and my little sister and I. By the time we got up the mountain, and found a place to camp it was getting dark. So, my stepdad started a fire. We ate hot dogs and we brought a pan for chili beans. We also ate roasted marshmallows, which are great.

Then, when we were going to set up our tent. We could not find the instructions to set it up and apparently, my stepdad put the instructions in the fire. So they were burnt. Well, we had to sleep somehow so we put a big piece of wood to hold up the tent (in the middle of the tent) and it worked, so we all went to bed. The next morning, we all got up and came back to Southern Arizona from Mt. Lemon and that was the last time I went camping. Thank you for reading.

Most productive

When do you feel most productive?i

In this blog, I will divulge when I am most productive. When, I take a shower and I am nice and clean. I eat a salad with romaine lettuce, broccoli cauliflower spinach, kale, carrots, avocadoes, and purple cabbage with Asian dressing. Then I drink Starbucks coffee and water and now I am really productive.  I can do Doordash for a long time. Thank you for reading.

This was a great salad. One kind of salad that makes me productive.

It really depends on how I am feeling that day.

What are your favorite emojis?

If I am feeling good. I will use the 😊😁 happy face. If I’m feeling angry 😡😤. I will use the angry emoji. If they say something funny 🤣 or I say something funny 😂. I will use these emojis. If I’m feeling down I will use 😔😭😥😰 these emojis. If I love 💕😘 what I share or the other person shared I will use these emojis.

See it varies from day to day. Sometimes a gif is more appropriate in text messages or Facebook messages. But, my moods vary and I like the emojis to correspond to my moods. Thank you for reading.

Topics to discuss

What topics do you like to discuss?

In this blog, I will discuss what topics I like to talk about. There are many great topics to discuss in life some of my favorite topics are.

Food

These were awesome dishes with salad and pizza Two different days of course, but they were yummy.

Food is a huge topic for me to discuss. I like to talk about different salad ingredients, such as spices and leafy vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and a host of different ingredients.

Inflation

This is a huge deal in my circle of friends because everything is going up, such as groceries, gas, rent, utilities. It is insane. How much things have gone up, even at Walmart, but some things at Walmart are cheaper than other places, such as Whole Foods. Whole Foods is great though, if you catch a sale.

Wars

The war in Israel and Palestine and the students all over the US protesting the war. The poor people in the middle of that war. I feel sorry for all of them. If Israel continues to bomb Gaza they will commit genocide, which is terrible. Hopefully the war begins talks for a truce.

Also the war in Ukraine and Russia, where the Russians are attacking the Ukrainians. It is awful also. If, the US is not careful, we could go to war with Russia and that would not be good. Hopefully a peaceful truce can be discussed in that war also.

Music

My friends and I discuss music a lot of the time, either making music or performing music at different bars and clubs. Or talking about Kurt Cobain (lead singer of Nirvana) or Chester Bennington (lead singer of Lincoln Park) and how come they had to commit suicide and they were so talented. Yes, depression is real and takes a lot of lives. Then, you got drug abuse which claims lives too. Put them together, you get something leathol. I still am sad that they are gone. Heaven only knows what kind of music they would have put out if they did not commit suicide.

In conclusion- I talk about food, inflation,wars, and music. Thank you for reading.

My apartment what a mess

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

About a year ago, I moved into this apartment and took a risk. At first, it was cool up until the beginning of the week. My apartment became flooded with water.

It was awful, but today most of the water is gone. I will cross my toes so that I don’t have anymore water flooding problems. I complained a lot about it.

Yet there were other apartments in the complex going through the same thing. So I didn’t feel alone. It all started in the bathroom in the laundry room. It got backed up then it spread to other apartments, including mine. Thank God it is over for the most part thanks to some plumbers coming out and fixing the concern. Hopefully today they fix the rest of the problem so we can go back to not walking into flooded areas anymore in our apartments.

I mean it was very hard. This morning, I woke up to my whole apartment flooded. There was water everywhere, but now for the most part the water is gone. Yes!! Thank you for reading.

Work and pay the car

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I will discuss a risk I took that I don’t regret. Well many people work jobs and take risks to work that job. I took the risk of working with Doordash and so far so good. It helps me pay for the car I drive and also going to the store or going out to eat at Papa John’s or Domino’s. It is quite good.

With the Doordash card, I get paid after working a run (the process of getting the food or other items to the customer). It is quite good.  So that is the risk I took. Thank you for reading.

Plumbing problems

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

When my sister told me the toilet was leaking and now the toilet is really leaking. The water is all ready in the living room from the bathroom. I have called the maintenance man. I am waiting now on him.

I wish I had listened to my sister about the toilet leaking. It would have saved me a lot of grief and some of my stuff is probably ruined. This sucks 😭😭.
