Five +s


Some times i feel like this picture!!!! The negativity of every one and everything squeezing in all around me. Some times i just want to scream! Alright enough of that!! The only way to fix a negative atitude is with a posative one, so i had better get started on the posative aspects of this life i live. Well lets see, lets name a few +s we got going on here.

1. To tell you the trueth, being on a schedule and being treated like a two year old isn't all that bad if you stop and think about it. Well of course there are the obvious hamperings and naggings of an overly concerned parent(U.S. military), but responsability is virtualy taken from me and the stress of day to day desicion making is narrowed to a meager do i want backed chicken and rice or fried chicken and rice. There are defenantly times at home i would have loved to have some one take those dicisions form me so that i could worry about something else deemed more important like spirituality, health, and so on. So i guess what im saying is that ya, thats a plus at times.

2. The gym, also known as my "savior", without wich i would go absolutly insane. As well as releasing some extremly overwhelming stress and anger, caused mostly by the patronistic parents(i.e. the military), i have regained my health. I have lost about thirty five lbs and and am on my way to a tone and fit body.

3. There is always the new out look on life i have reluctantly acquired over the last nine months. I have realized the importantce of the small things in life like, a well payed for memory foam bed, or a wet kiss from a slobery little two year old at the end of a long depressing day, and much more. obviously the list could go on for days, but in short i wont take for grantite the small things when i get home.

4. Money!!!!! Although i would rather work two full time jobs and have a full school schedule than do this, the money is good. Whats more, i can't spend it. Once again, i am as the five year old child given his first big alowence. Instead of taking it to the toy store and injoying it, it goes directly to the education fund set up, ya looks good on paper, but to the five year old the cool new bike with flames on it looks cooler, if you know what i mean. It will be awhile before i get to see or enjoy it. That is a plus though. Its not often in live when you can go for months without spending a dime.

5. Last but not least, I have aquired a taste for fine books. "The bigger the better," i find myself saying. There is no greater way to make time go by than a good long book that grabs you, pulls you in, lulls you to sleep in the middle, and then electrifies you at the end. Man i used to hate to read!!!
