More of the writing story. I find that it depends what I am writing as to what style I use. If I am writing a court report I am factual. If I am writing for fun I tend to write with a little more imagination. Writing is a way to release thoughts from my mind and to allow me to relieve stress from what is bothering me. I sometimes think I have nothing to write about but then I just start writing and the words start flowing. I think I have to be in the mood to write because sometimes I can't start or get confused about what I want or should write about.
On a different note, I have just lost my sister to cancer afte a seven year battle. Even though we knew it was going to happen it didn't make it easier to deal with. This has brought up a lot of feelings regarding losing my son in March. I had a difficult time this past week and have started questioning what is important to me. I realize it is my goal to get my Masters degree in Social Work because I want to be there to help families that need help. I want to let them know there is some one who cares about what they are going through and there is help. I may struggle with this goal at times but I will not give up. This I have promised myself.
Life is too short not to do what you want.
Sheila I am so sorry to hear of the loss of both your son and your sister. I am sure they are both very proud of you for continuing to reach for your goals. I am sending you lots of love and positive thoughts. Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you lost your sister, I had not heard about this at the office. All types of cancers are affecting families all across America. I think it would be hard to find a person who has not been touched by the affects of cancer. You are such a strong and compassionate person I’m sure many families will benefit from your role as a Social Worker.
ReplyDeleteSending love and prayers to you Sheila. Even though I really do not know you (in person) I feel the heart felt promise to yourself in writing, and that is a beautiful thing!
ReplyDeleteSheila, I am truly sorry for your many losses this last year. Care for you deeply and I will always be here for you. One thing that I do know about you is your dedication is strong but your actions are stronger. You WILL get your masters degree and you WILL continue doing an awesome job at helping families!

Sheila, you have gone through a lot this year and my positive thoughts are sent to you as well. I have always admired the way you work. You are dedicated, determined, and real and that to me is so refreshing in our line of work. If there is someone I need to give me an honest perspective, it is you and through your losses this year, I have noticed your resolve to be true to yourself and to others has only strengthened. Know you have many people who are here for you, both personally and professionally. You will make it to your goal and Crystal, Misty and I will be along your side.
