Dear Anita

The Chemistry II exam Monday wasn’t too difficult, hoping for at least an 85. It is currently snowing outside this morning and the snow on the branches of the holly tree in the front yard is beautiful. I am working on reducing my stress levels because there is a lot of assignments due before Spring break which starts March 18th.  I have a physics exam and Anatomy/Physiology II lab exam March 6th. I will also be studying for a History III quiz March 5th and Anatomy/Physiology II lecture quiz March 7th. It’s going to be a lot of studying. I have been taking breaks in between so I don’t feel overwhelmed. I have three assignments for March 14th which are the History III essay (I started the outline and have sources), Art History rexam and my Anatomy/Physiology II lecture exam on the immune system/ respiratory system.

Although my classes are keeping me quite busy, I still find time to appreciate nature. I enjoy the sunrise and the weather and feel grateful that I am alive. Every day is a new beginning filled with opportunities to create who I want to be. I cannot let worry and anxiety ruin the days of my life because each moment is precious and a person cannot go back to yesterday so I try to find something good in each day. I may be stressed about things, but I remember that life is worth more than the little things, it’s a journey and as long as you keep walking the path and improving that’s what matters. Keep focusing on your goals and although the road may get bumpy and you may run into detours and potholes you can have hope that you’ll end up where you were meant to be. Your mind is energy and with your conscious awareness you can use your mind to visualize the direction you want to take and sometimes the road may be difficult but it is always possible to get to your goals. You are a driver on the roads of your life and you can steer yourself in the direction you want to go. You may get lost sometimes or veer off course, but your mind’s energy brings awareness and energy flows to where you want to go helping you there. So don’t worry about the roadblocks and detours, take each moment to enjoy the day and the wonders of nature and be grateful for who you are. Your body works hard to protect itself from pathogens and your cells renew and repair each day, you are a special person and it’s important to value yourself. Your worth more than the stereotypes and the grades you have. Everyone has a purpose in life.
