My Relationship Resume

Given my relationship history, there is one thing I'm certain of... that I'm terrible at relationships. So, in the interest of personal growth and self-improvement, I made the decision to create a relationship resume. There's got to be some natural relationship ability within me! Right? Maybe?

Unfortunately, I ran into some very serious, slap in the face, physical proof that I am, in fact, not good at relationships. All I could come up with was an extremely small list of promises. What's sad is that there is nothing on this list that will lead to a very deep or loving relationship.

Needless to say, I have some work to do in regards to being a good relationship partner.

To never avoid your phone calls because I'm angry with you.
To rub your back until you fall asleep.
To let you know that I think about you throughout the day.
To respond to your texts, when warranted, and not leave you hanging.
To compromise.
To be faithful.
To always ask about your day.
To learn about your interests so that we can both enjoy it.
To always be fun loving, and have a good time no matter what we do.
To remain in good shape and live a relatively healthy lifestyle.
To show my love through affection.
To continue to work on myself, and always strive to grow and learn.
To show up when you need me.
To commit to plans without being nagged about it.
To be respectful of your time, and always show up when I say I will.
To look nice for you.
To always find a way to be romantic.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall. It’s like a switch was flipped. The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter. I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August. Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. And, it was amazing. I’m so excited that fall is here. I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food. I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties. I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck. I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress. But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward. We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions. Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!

Hello October and PSLs!

Now that it's officially October, I'm allowing myself to drink pumpkin spice latte's, and it has truly made my Monday morning a little brighter. I love how the little things, can make me stop and smell the roses, or coffee, in this case. It is the start of a new month, and a new week, and for me, the start of quarter end! I'm going to need a lot more coffee! LOL. Over the last few weeks, I have really been tested at work. I can tell that people are being put in front of me so that I can grow and work past some things in my life. Like, how I can't control everything. And, no matter what job I work in, there will always be challenging people that I need to work and partner with. I read something recently that kind of put it into perspective. Gold, when found in nature, is encased in rock and must be manually removed. I don't know the science behind it, but these rocks must be crushed, chemically treated, and heated t...
