OH Thursday

It's a new day, thank goodness for better days.

I was at school for way too long today. I only had one class but with the commute and class starting at a weird time I left at 7:00 am and didn't get home until 4:00 pm. I really don't mind being at school though. I always find things to do. This morning while I was waiting for class to start I had a little muffin and chocolate milk and then I went and applied for some scholarships that the school is offering online. They are all really specific. Only 2 really suited me, the criteria is woman over 25, good academic standing in their second year of school. I have to get a letter from a teacher before I can submit it but we will see how that goes.

The girls and I made a pact today to go to the gym 4 times a week. We are going in between classes tomorrow for an hour and we are thinking about joining an aerobics class on Fridays, it's $30.00 so not too bad for 10 one hour sessions. I am a bit worried about working out with the current state of my back but I am hoping it won't bother me as long as I am standing up straight.

It's really good to be back at school. I think I am over dressing too soon though because I am always sweating by the time I get home. I should still be wearing shorts but I love my new fall clothes too much for that. The best part of my walk home is reaching my destination. I love to come home, take my shoes off, pull my iPod out of my ears, change into my sweat pants and if I am lucky make it home to watch Dr Phil or Oprah. Oh how I love being home. Its so sweet to be home, cozy and comfortable.

Kyle is out for dinner tonight with Uncle Zeke who happened to be in the area for work today and I have some time to myself to chill, I just finished watching Ellen, which is one of the only talk shows that makes me laugh out loud. Now I have Michelle Branch playing loud and the lap top in front of me and it feels so good to wind down the day.

My back is hurting a little, but its bearable. Kyle and I went to the doctor last night and she gave me two slips to see a physio therapist and a massage therapist. She told me to take Advil as its an anti inflammatory in the mean time to help me get through my classes until I can make an appointment for someone to work on my back. So I can live with this, I don't really have a choice anyways. I just have to make the best of it.

So here I am, it's just me, my music and my laptop. I feel like I could take on the world. It's amazing how much different you can feel from one day to the next. I am really glad that everyday is new and how we may have felt yesterday does not have to determine how we feel today. Today while I waited at the Go station for my train to come I was reminded again that God is there and people are searching for him everywhere. I must have been blind to it before, I'm not sure but lately it seems to be everywhere I go. From people I know and complete strangers. It's like only now are my eyes open to see what has been in front of me all along. Whatever it is I am glad that I am able to be aware and see it.

Yesterday I felt like I couldn't face tomorrow and today I feel like I can't wait for tomorrow to come. All I want to do is get better so I can get on with my goals. I feel like I would be unstoppable right now if my back wasn't bothering me. I will just have to be as unstoppable as I can even with a bum back. I can hardly believe that this is my second year. I know it's going to be tough and a challenge but after finishing the first year I feel like I can tackle anything. I have a lot of goals for this year. The on going goal I have that is the most challenging is to be in a bikini by next summer. This is something I have wanted for way to long. Now is the time to make it happen and I have my friends to hold me accountable. I need to loose 8 pounds a month to reach this goal which right now seems impossible but I know it isn't if I do what it takes. I just want to achieve this goal and break through years of being overweight. I want the real Heather to show through and not be hidden under these layers of fat I have stored up to protect me.

I know what thing is true, I don't want to be all talk and no action. Talk is cheap and I can't afford to waste time saying what I want and not doing it. I believe in little goals and I am going to do my darndest to loose 30 pounds by the new year. That's my first mini goal. I just want to cross this bridge and never look back.

SO those are some of my Thursday thoughts. One more thing-

I don't know how I ever lived without my iPod, I listen to that thing whenever I can, I love to put it on while I go to school and the music never fails to take me away to a different place instantly. There can be so much noise around me but once I put my music on I am taken to a different place. I would highly recommend listening to music while you travel, it can change your day.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
