I’m trying and not giving up…

This is me on January 31, 2020 for a Lunar New Year event at my work.

I haven’t written anything since February, but I didn’t even post what I wrote because I didn’t think it was good enough yet. And then life happened and the pandemic and now it’s mid-May. All I can do is keep moving forward and learn from where I faltered.

My job can be very stressful because of the demographic I work with and this pandemic has added some stress. Mostly due to my concern for their health and safety and that of the people who help me make my program successful. Like so many others I have had to adapt to the changes that were made due to this illness. I am fortunate because I still have a job and I feel extremely blessed for that.

Speaking of ‘blessed’… my journey to become baptized is going well. The actual baptism has been postponed because of the shelter-in-place orders in my state, but my journey continues and I continue to grow in my faith and learn how to express that in my daily life better. I think I will write about my experience in the RCIA process and what I have learned. I am excited to write about it, and I might do a whole series on what I’m reading and doing to continue my spiritual education.

My health, which was the main goal for 2020, has been going just as well as all my other goals. I have not lost any weight, but I feel stronger and healthier. I cook all almost all of our meals now, with very little ordering out happening now. It helped that in February we invested in a stationary bike and I now have even less of an excuse to not exercise. I am loving being able to be in my own home and exercise whenever I want without having to worry about others.

Long story short, I am easily distracted, but I have been slightly successful so far on my resolutions. I am working on my focus and moving forward. Everyday is me slowly improving and I am so glad to be back writing again.
