Wow what a week I'm writing two research papers and feeling a little overwhelmed. I did procrastinate a little on doing research for one. I'm praying that I get the APA format right. Although I read a lot on the APA format it's still very confusing too me. I will defiantly get a program for this next semester. I have one paper finished and will be writing all day tomorrow to finish the other. It's been hard for me to focus this week cause the weather is so great. Were in the 80's and 90's already in Chicago all I want to do is go the lake and hang out.

GIFTS

Gifts come in all types of shapes and forms some we keep, some we discard, and some we re gift to others. Most hold some type of value and some are priceless. After group this week I realized I had been given one that was priceless Courage. Courage to start living my life again. Before my aunts death I was very depressed and had kinda cut myself off from a lot of people. Her death made me realize that I didn't want to end up like her and many others. It gave me the push I needed to get up and get out the house and get focused on living life again. I wish she was here to help me through this process. On the other hand her death has been a blessing in a way. It made me think about all the things that made me unhappy with my life. I'm working hard to change those things and I feel a lot better. I'm so thankful for my family

It's been a hectic week and I'm tired! I had a friend and co-worker rushed to the hospital with congestive heart failure. She has to have open heart surgery I just hope everything goes well. working double shift doesn't leave much time for homework. Thank god for laptops I'm able to do some work on breaks. I just feel so for behind with two papers due, a test, and discussion post. Hopefully I will be able to catch up this week end. She's going to be out for a while so I guess I better get used it
