This weekend has been a busy one, my oldest Andrea is home for a visit. My nephew got married so she came up for that and stayed a few days for a visit. She was only able to come by herself, we had a good time though... we went to the wedding together, which was beautiful, then I cooked tacos for her on Saturday, like old times and then yesterday we went shopping for a new pair of Nike's for Jackson.
Anyhow, this is why I have been absent from reading and answering blogs, she is flying home early tomorrow morning and then it is back to work for me. I am hoping to go to the fireworks tonight, as long as the weather holds up. Then the following week Valentina will be going camping for 6 days and I will be on my own. I plan to get back into walking as much as I can, I will be able to just go when I feel like it.
I read a blog a few days ago and it was incredible, it kept asking the question What If? to the many different instances in the writers life. I commented that I had to put the what if's away, the what if's were pulling me down, not allowing me to move forward. It had been a very long road to get to that point and the thought of allowing the what if's to take me back there, would only have me going backwards and I want to live in the present.
When I stopped living with the questions of what if's? I started moving forward... Is it still sad sometimes? Yes... in can be, but I wanted more than the what if's? I want what I deserve too, a good, honest and kind man... one that sees how wonderful and committed I am.
I am going to be very busy taking 2 courses at the same time, plus being a mama, working full time and exercising. I need to get these by the end of the year, I am going to give it my best to complete both of them. Then I can have my PCP and run payroll anywhere in Canada. I will be catching up with you as much as I can, I will have a ton of homework... but I will need a little down time, so reading will be a must ... I will comment as often as possible. Of course if you comment on my blog I will definitely reciprocate.
The reason I am putting all the effort I can into getting my CPA is that I don't want to look back a year from now and say I wish I had completed those courses. I have what it takes to finish them and to excel. Since losing the weight, I saw that I was capable of whatever I put my mind to... there will be No More What If's...

That's right! You don't need to think about the what ifs. You just have to do things without thinking to much about what's next :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you Launna.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of my muses, sweetie, because you're so special person
Kisses and have an awesome day (kisses to Andrea)

Hurrah for family visits from the (grown) kids. My favorite thing! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/your courses. I have zero doubt you'll get your CPA if you want it. Determined, smart, and kind are words I easily associate with you (and two of those three will earn that CPA). :)
I am so happy that you are working hard with your CPA course. It is not easy.
ReplyDeleteFamily times are always good.
Blog reading can wait and hey we are family of bloggers. I miss out a lot but when I get time I treat myself to a lot of reading.
Best of Luck. I will be praying for your exam to be easy on you. Ameen.
Happy Canada day Launna. Enjoy the holiday and time with your family and friends!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's to late and I will read your post tomorrow. Thank you for commenting my blog. It's good that you don't have women's every months problems ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have been well. I started today following you in Twitter so I will know more about you each day.
Have a good night!!
I am sp proud of you! You can do anything you choose, zed you will. It sounds like you are going to be really busy! I bet it was fun spending time with Andrea.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about "making time". I always feel like you will make time for what is really important to you. I am always so busy now with blogging, work, spending time with friends, working out, etc. I wonder what I ever did to fill time before blogging haha! It is a lot to handle but I love it all so I make time for it!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with the two courses! And so nice you and Andrea could spend some time together :)
Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment on my blog :)

Our kids are going camping in the same week! I agree with the philosophy about not wanting to look back and regret. That's how I got through raising my felon. I did everything you can imagine and more because I never wanted to look back and think, "I should have...What if I would have.?" Nice inspirational post as usual.
ReplyDeleteI commend you Launna for all that you have accomplished. I wish you the best of luck with your courses and I know you can do it.

Congratulations on the visit from your nephew. I am sure it must have been a really exciting visit.
ReplyDeletecertainly very good to push yourself, this is very inspiring for those who read...
ReplyDeleteit should be! You do not have to think back a year ago to do the job now...
ReplyDeleteHi Launna, I'm sure you will do it! There is no another way you are very committed person and you will be the most successful student There is no What if's I believe there is only yes you will. I wish good luck in getting this course!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always thoughtful and inspiring! You can do it, Launna, I know it! :) Happy Canada Day to you.
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day my lovely friend

Hello Launna,
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to read that you have clearly defined the goals that you wish to pursue and are making every effort to achieve them. By taking the steps, one is immediately moving forward and developing as a person. Almost as if by magic we are sure that you will reach your targets and how brilliant that will be.
Activity rather than thinking is definitely the best possible solution when one finds oneself in difficult circumstances. You have already proved to yourself that you can achieve so much and overcome many challenges, so you really can obtain these qualifications. And then, as you say, the world is your oyster.
Oh I am such a 'what iffer' too... And that's definitely not always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteDear Launna, I'm happy you had such a good time with your family. I love tacos too :) Nice Einstein's quote!

Aw, yes... lovely Canada & her Birthday yesterday. I hope you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad at the What If's, too. They get the best of me.
I had a very bad life so far and while I know you shouldn't think of the past or what COULD have been, it's hard most of the time.
I try to live in the here and now, but when shit happens (and it happens a lot to me) I ask myself where would I be if this or that didn't happen back then. :(
...Then I can have my PCP... & ...into getting my CPA...
Wow, that's what your 2 courses was about. I was wondering on that comment of yours yesterday. I believe in you & send you good Vibes!
You go Girl!!! :)

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'" --Here's for living in the day and pressing forward to make our dreams come true!
ReplyDeleteI often forget that you are in Canada and I couldn't think why you were having fireworks since the 4th isn't until Friday! Oops! I forgot about Canada Day. You are so inspiring -- just keep up the great work and keep reminding yourself of how far you have come. Enjoy tonight!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring and motivating. I try to live in the present as much as possible. Remember the adage, Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present? Sometimes I find it hard putting that into action because of what if's, leaving us thinking about the past and what could have beens and such. But I do my best to focus on the good things and I believe they are bound to happen. About those 2 courses, I believe in you, you can do it! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Every time I hear "What If" I remind of the movie Letters to Juliet that talks about it! =)

ReplyDeleteHi my lovely Launna, I agree with all the inspired quotes here, and truly true. how was the wedding? I believed it went wonderfully:). I saw your did something sweet on twitter, I will make time to look after this:). Thank you so very much for being so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWish you a lovely week ahead too my lovely girl:).

Launna,
ReplyDeleteYou make such a great point.
It is really easy to get stuck on the "what ifs" and lose focus on what can be. I've been there, I think most have. We always see what we could have done once its in the past, but I know for me, I focus on that and forget to apply that to the current.
Great post. Glad you have had some time with your family. :)
I think it's great you going after your CPA. That will give you something else to focus on. I know you will be successful and whatever you put your mind to. I've been MIA too, vacationing. Summers are so hit and miss ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really nice visit with Andrea. Good luck with your courses! You can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day my sweet Launna

I'm proud of you Launna! Good luck with the busy schedule and getting your CPA. It's always so good to just go for it and stop wondering about all the what it's. I love to hear from you and it means a lot to me that we are both able to stop by and visit each other with our crazy schedules anymore. I am making it a priority to take care of myself for once. That means learning how to eat really healthy and get back to weight training and get strong. I have been so tired and needed a pep in my step. So as you know having a 3 year old boy makes it kind of difficult to do all the things I am trying to do. Keep on going is my motto and while one day may be difficult, the next has to be better right?! Have a great holiday weekend Launna!

ReplyDeleteHi my sweet Launna, I am so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time with your family.. I hope you made it to the fireworks, me and my hubby are going to take our boys to see fireworks tonight and have the picnic kind of dinner night while waiting for the fireworks start:). please stay you, you're beautiful, and the what if needed to go, and keep moving on forward as you are willing to do:). I'm not a what if type of girl so I agree with your moving yourself on:). The words cant describe me how life is much more fun and sweet as is as easier as well when we are women with the right man, who is kind, cares and love us who we are. Keep be you, be beautiful you, and one day that kind of man will also seeking for your love. Wish you really blessed day my sweet girl!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful visit with your daughter. Nothing like having fun with family to make the world feel a little rosier. Enjoy your "me time" while Valentina is away at camp. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is so true, If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. You have to take risks, no risk no return. So go get it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Post! Love the first Quote <3
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Day Launna ,kisses :)
I'm happy to hear that you had your daughter Andrea spend some time with you that's lovely and I hope you enjoyed it. I wish you all the best with everything that you need to complete and I admire you so much for going to do the course. I felt the same when I decided to do my post graduate course in law this year and did it for similar reasons. Now I'm struggling to finish it because I am so depressed, just hope I can hold on for another six and a half weeks. I can't thank you enough for all your support. I feel so lucky to have met you because you are so kind and it is rare to find someone who understands. I wish all my friends in my non online life had not pushed me away and shut me out because I got depressed. I feel alone so that is why your support means so much.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds amazingly busy and fun! Goodluck with juggling school, kids, work and life. =) Keep up with your goals! Before you know it, they are accomplished

Thats it, if we all dwell in what ifs, there would be nothing concrete or our motivations wouldnt be achieved. :) <3 Dont worry we all have those moments, we just gotta go out there and do!
ReplyDeleteIts so difficult to catching up on time when we are living on a different time zone:). I can't wait to read your new post:). Hope your both courses are going well with you. I am now have to gets up early to exercise before my kids are up and going to bed early as well. will do and thank you so much Launna, and please you do the same:). Will talks again soon:).
