dis·ci·pline

Discipline - the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.

2019 will be a year of discipline for me. I often confused discipline with practice (the customary, habitual, or expected procedure or way of doing something.) But as much as we reward ourselves for doing something we are suppose to do, I felt like I need to get in the habit of punishing myself for not following through as well. 

The word punishment seems so harsh to say but, simple things like not being able to watch my favorite show, or have dessert might be the way to go for now. I need to have a disciplined lifestyle if I'm going to accomplish all that I want in this lifetime. 

This is the year I turn 28, on the 28 which makes it the golden year! That said major goals to stay golden are... 

- Understand singleness 
- Cut out unnecessary time spent, on people and projects (if they're not helping with the goals then they have to go) 
- Have focused and clear goals 
- Make time for God
- Look my best, be presentable at all times 
- Be a better friend 
- Travel 
- Read more 

I think that's gonna be it for now. I don't think I have the heart to write workout yet, my health needs to be fully restored before I have that as a major goal. 

Ta Ta for now.

This too shall pass

Today I began my day by taking a ride to work, the driver had on the radio and a zen kind of music was playing. With the news of all that is going on in Ethiopia with Gofa and the exchange rate, folks are stressed out to the point I find it difficult to breathe. So I appreciated a moment to sit in what felt like silence. And of course, as I point this out, most of you will say then why don't you move back to the United States?  And, as hard as it is to be optimistic and have hope in moments like this I remind myself "This too shall pass." That there's a much larger picture to look at. Something I'm not so sure of myself but my gut tells me to wait a little. When I first moved here I was told don't ask why. To just live. "ሰው እንደሆነው ሆነሽ ትኖሪያለሽ።" As much as that has been the theme of my life, I find that I have been moving far and far away from making the small differences that I can in the moments that God has provided me with. I feel like a crazy pers...

TBH

Moment of honesty...  I think I stopped blogging partly because I don't have time anymore. But mainly because my life wasn't fun anymore.  And although a little bit of seriousness is needed in order to live an adult life, I think I've lost myself in the process. I'm back to being a floating object. Not sure what the next goal is.  I miss the days of us being in grade school where we knew what was next, pass the test move on to the next grade keep doing that until college. Then you choose your "path" graduate. Than float.  When I grow up I want to be happy, but I also want a family and live a proactive and productive life. Chasing money doesn't make me happy, that's one thing I've learned so far. But I also don't want to let my future me down.  She deserves to live a life full of everything she wants and needs.  I'm at another turning point in my life not sure which way to go. I'm not sure if back to the Sta...
