Amazing things are happening in my life :)
I am incredibly blessed. The Lord provides. Details to come later, but let’s just say that I’m at a good place in my life right now thanks to a handful of people and most importantly, Him. I can’t help but to praise God!

Today sucks.
I haven’t felt this bad in a long time. And I’ve had my share of crappy days. Nothing feels right. I feel .. dejected. I’m at an all-time low. I feel like no one understands what I’m going through .. how I’m feeling. People appear to care on the surface, but there’s not a single person who sincerely cares enough to really break down these walls. There is...

My whole body hurts a lot right now. Not only do I have the usual arm pain, but my back, shoulders, neck, and legs are all hurting too. I completely take for granted the fact that I work at a physical therapy clinic and thus, can get treated/fixed for free. The mentality I have is this: “It’s okay if I get hurt because I can get fixed at work!” I need to stop thinking that...

Sometimes love is like a lightbulb in an empty room. It has the chance to go out, and when it does, we freeze up. We walk with eyes closed, finding a way out of the darkness, to bring light back once again. But sometimes we don’t want to suffer the pain of bumping into anything, or getting hurt on our way out, so some of us stand still. We decide not to escape it, and our eyes get used to...

I'm addicted ..
To Starbucks’ green tea lattes. I am determined to find that matcha powder or I will have to settle for the concentrate. Why did it take so long for me to discover this drink?

Love & Life by Albert Einstein
Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the man/woman of deeds and not for the man/woman of words, for you will find rewarding happiness, not with the man/woman you love but with the...

Typical conversations at work
Lyn: Hey Joanna, I just started editing an old book I wrote on Biofeedback and would appreciate it if you could give me your thoughts and opinions when I finish making the edits.
Me (obviously not completely awake yet): Sorry, what did you say?
Lyn: Just read my damn book.
Me: Oh okay, why didn't you just say that?
Lyn: I'm sorry that I was flowering it up for you.

Me: I need to master the art of burrito-folding. Maybe I put too much stuff in the tortilla.
Lyn: Well that's not surprising news, is it? You always have too much when it comes to food. You're a bottomless pit!

Me: Tim, do you want to treat me today? We only have one patient all day.
Tim: I don't know if 'want' is the right word to use.
-
Me: Hey Tim, do you think I need to wear a wrist wrap? My forearms and wrists are always hurting.
Tim: I think you should wear a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, get full-body protection ..
Me: Maybe I need to bubble-wrap myself before I do anything.

This is me right now.
While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so...

So far;
Watched the sunrise from the gorgeous view of the attic bedroom just minutes after waking up
Was greeted by not one, but two(!) smiling 8-month old baby girls
Had banana + oatmeal + pumpkin + milk mush flung at my face during breakfast feeding
Breakfast: toast + peanut butter + honey + banana (from the tree in the garden, might I add!) & french press coffee
Watched birthday girl &...

The worst part about falling out of love is wondering if you’ll ever open up that far again.
Sometimes that answer is yes, but never without closed eyes before the jump.

I got my appetite back!
My stomach growls again. I can eat normally now. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing for my waistline, but that’s okay because I’ve been running a minimum of 5 miles almost daily just like the old days when marathon training was in session. I just devoured a steak grilled stuft burrito & caramel apple empanada from Taco Bell in record time. My boss Lyn has been...

Buy jewelry from me? Pretty please? →
I’m this close to losing my car again if I don’t get caught up with my payments, so I’m making a desperate plea to my followers here to help me out. I used to make & sell jewelry on Etsy, Mintd, and lov.li back in the day, but I put the business on hold when I got too busy with everything else to keep up with the orders. I could definitely use the income right now so if...

It's been one of those days ..
where I find myself welling up in tears at the most spontaneous of moments. I’m not particularly sad about any one thing; in fact, life has been pretty darn good lately despite the fact that I haven’t had as much free time to myself as I’d like. I’ve never been very good at expressing how I feel so I won’t even try. I am a feeler more than anything. Words...
