Hello professor and class, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
One of the topics to discuss this week on our blogs was how we felt about being an online student. From my view point, it is GREAT! I am a stay at home mom and the flexibility of online schooling works for me. With my husband being in the Navy and not home all the time and no family, night classes were out of the question, daycare prices are ridiculous, so that left online schooling. I have two hours to work in the morning between when my husband leaves and my son wakes up, plus two hour naps a day, and about one hour at night depending. I could not ask for a better way to get my education.
This next part is just some of what I have been thinking about this week.....
Little things, big blessings. Have you ever thought about what makes us mad or upsets us? A lot of what we get upset about are things not going our way, and in reality nothing can go our way all the time. Do you ever find yourself getting aggravated that the baby is up crying or that you have to do the dishes? Look at it a different way: be thankful you have a healthy baby crying or that you have food to put on dishes. I do not want to put down how someone feels, but if you really think about it life is not bad. My cousin had a still birth at 26 weeks, her little girl would have been six months younger than my son. So every time I hear him cry I am thankful he is able to cry. Just, be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away.

ReplyDeleteYour post is very true. Its so easy to take what we have for granted and even be annoyed by it. My son was born with a medical condition. Had he been born 50 years ago he would of died without having the technology we have today to correct the problem. I love him so much more knowing that he is my miracle baby and almost couldn't of kept him. I love having dirty dishes too:)
I liked the second part of your blog because you are correct about being thankful for what God has given us. Sometimes we look only on what we want however we tend to forget to be greatful for what we have now. Like you said we shoud be thankful for health and that God is so great and provides for us all. Lots of blessing to you and your loved ones.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog, so very true about the things we should not be taking for granted, but many of us do (me being one of them at times). I also have a husband in the military and a young daughter, online school is very helpful when you have your hands full with so many other things. Good luck with the rest of class and in the future.
You never know what life is going to throw your way, so all you can do is take life one day at a time and be thankful for the blessings you have received and hope for the ones that are on the way.
ReplyDeleteNever take life for granted we were all put here for a purpose.
