Reading and Writing...

...it's the arithmetic that is getting me! I'm in an University required Economics course that I've put off for awhile now!!! I'm terrible at math. I'm good at addition and subtraction, but when you add the x and y to get z, I'm lost and Economics not only has a language and vocabulary all it's own, it has a ton of graphs!!! I'm totally overwhelmed and wondering why I think finishing my degree, which I didn't think I needed to since I received my first degree 30 years ago, is something I want to do!!!

I'm doing this (finishing) because I want to be able to say, that "I was able to do it". Even though it's been 30 years, I can do it. I have the wonderful support of my strongest supporter, soulmate-my husband Jim and the support of my family, son, daughter, son-in-law, and parents. Then there is my great support of "inner circle sisters".

I finished a pyschology course last semester and did well even with all the "other happenings" in my life. I'm now at a part of life, though I'm dealing with some personal issues (health-wise, emotional wise, hormonal wise), but this course is really been "tough" for me to grasp.

I guess this blog is just for me to ramble and share that I'm struggling.

I'm reminded of the scripture, with God I can do anything!!! I just am doubting my own ability and have my expectations set higher, which is something I do with myself and things I "take on".

Thank you for letting me babble, just keep me in your prayers. So many others have many more struggles and trials in their lives, so I feel guilty asking for your prayers for this semester.

Another day of "livingrlives together" and seeing the blessings that God gives us each day.
