focusing on what matters

This school year has been a learning experience. Working full time has been great but at the same time trying to juggle the kids and their schedules + working full time has been crazy. After a lot of thought, I made the decision to go back to working 4-5 hours a day. I'm leaving the front office and going back to being a playground aide at the school, a job that I really love and miss. I'm going back to having a little more balance in my life and I'm extremely grateful that I have a choice. I'm choosing to focus on my family for now...they are what matter most :)

 

another life lesson

An opportunity was presented to me a couple of weeks ago. It was promising and I felt really good about it. A couple of days ago I found out that this opportunity was given to someone else. I felt as if someone kicked me in the stomach...I felt really good about this, why didn't it work out??

I found this article on Positively Positive and it was just what I needed. Maybe reading this could help you too :)

life lessons

When I was a 21 year old student going to UVSC and causing some serious trouble in Provo (ha! ha! You don't move to Provo if you're looking for trouble), I did my fair share of just stupid things. I over slept and missed classes one too many times, dated my fair share of psychotic boys and was ranked 13th out of 13 employees in sales at Footlocker in the University Mall where I worked.

Cindy, my wise roommate and friend, reminded me everytime I screwed up, "Kris, you're still a good person." We would laugh about it but to this day, that has really stuck with me. We need to remind each other (and ourselves especially!) that even though we can act like idiots sometimes and we don't live up to the expectations we place on ourselves that we can say,

"You're still a good person!"

and just get on with life.
