Don't You Worry

Hello again...it's been a while, but don't you worry.

Speaking of worry, school is back in session, and of course...don't you worry.

Literally. 

Don't.

You.

Worry.

Grab your book bags, pens, and pencils, and don't you worry...

I promise the teachers and the students are both humans, just give them a chance. 

Don't you worry...

Okay...enough with the "don't you worry's", but you really don't need to. 
Getting back into the routine can be difficult at times and that is understandable.  Just stay the course...it will only get better as you move forward.
That being said, make sure you are giving an honest effort while you are moving forward.  This way you can ensure that you are improving throughout the year.

When things go right, try to make them better...

When they go wrong, try to make them better...

Pretty simple, but I must admit it can be challenging at the same time.

Naturally, one of the two suggestions above will be easier then the other, but both are necessary.  You can learn from the good and the bad.  The good is a testament to the work you've done, while the bad is a testament to what you need to get better with...

Don't be afraid to make a mistake...we all have. Quite honestly, anytime I overwhelm myself with trying not to make any mistakes, I generally make more of them.  Crazy how that works, right?

Now that doesn't mean that you should not try; it simply means give your best effort every chance you get and let the work speak for itself.  Your progress depends on it, and the only way to sustain positive progress is by challenging yourself.  Take care of the little things, and let the big things take care of themselves.

There will be tests to take and tests to grade. Some will be academic while others are social. Either way, embrace them.

There will be moments where things feel much more difficult than others.  Those are the times when learning takes place.  If things were always easy, chances are you wouldn't learn anything or get any better.

Like when I don't practice the guitar.  It is very easy to not practice but I won't get any better.

Sorry...that was a random analogy, but it just crossed my mind.  I hope it made sense.

But I really should practice...

Anyway...enjoy your weekend, and don't be too hard on yourself.

Always give your best, be honest with your effort, and most importantly...

Don't you worry...you're doing just fine.

Until next time,
Long Live The People

I Promise They Won't Speak

Hello, It's me. Now I've been wondering about this next issue for quite some time, but have failed to properly verbalize it.  Once and for all, here is my attempt. So my parents have a dog....his name is Simba.  Simba and I haven't always seen eye to eye.  Some times he can be a little ridiculous in his requests, demanding in his approach, and invasive in others' space.  Early on, these characteristics became problematic, as I had no intentions of trying to understand why he would do what he did.  This created a rift in the relationship. My resistance towards Simba, and all animals for that matter was based off the fact that I could never communicate with them and they could never communicate with me.  How could I trust that?  Being the conversationalist that I some times call myself, lack of discussion can be uncomfortable for me, especially if in close quarters with other inhabitants.  For example, if I chose to engage in a simple conver...

Stuck In The Snow

Image
I hate that I have to revisit this topic, but some things cannot be avoided. Now that we have all emerged from the wrath of our latest snowstorm, apparently named Stella, I figured it's a nice time to get the groove back. If you remember The Snow Is Way Too High, You Need To Cut It ...I have a passionate disdain for snow; so these last two days have been interesting to say the least. For our visual readers... My vehicle was somewhere in there, and I couldn't help but feel bad for it.  Obviously, it does not have human emotion, but the idea of being stuck in the snow for two days is a recurring nightmare of mine, so I can empathize. That being said, I still waited for Stella to go home, before I went outside to rescue my friend. When the time came to begin shoveling, I had plenty of time to personify the last two days that the vehicle experienced.  Disclaimer...Personification is a favorite past time of mine, and it enhances my storytelling....

Substantial Dialouge

Image
They've gotten stronger...and they talk a lot more too. For those of you who do not know, these two are my niece and nephew, and this is how we interact.  It always starts with one of them doing something, and the other one following.  24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To add to the dynamic duos ability to control the room, these interactions always include a lot of talking, and believe it or not, most of it is not coming from me. Partially due to the fact that I've realized that together, they are just too powerful. My nephew is now speaking, and my niece is on the brink of doing the same.  Whether it's telling everyone a story, or just making sounds and grunting, respectively they are both constantly exploring language. Although often difficult to distinguish, they both mean what they say and should be taken seriously.  Obviously there will be conversations that we have that are not going to remain on the top of our 'revisit' list due to a perceive...
