New Adventures

So many new adventures personally and spiritually. I'm excited and intrigued. I've grown so much because of these adventures. The more recent adventures have been eye opening about the real me, the me in the now. I like to say that although I am a planner, I live day by day. The Serenity Prayer comes into my head.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Wish me luck on the next adventure!!!! Here I go...

January Passes Us By!

I can't believe how fast the month has been flying by. I've been busy non stop! Work has taken a good chunk of that time. There was a couple weeks where I worked 12 of the 14 days. Nut job is a new adjective for myself. I've also had the opportunity to meet some very interesting (and attractive) people. The nurses that I am working with or have worked with are such sweethearts. Nurses rock!! I've been trying to visit friends as well. It's been so nice to walk into open arms and embraced by the greatest of friendships. I'm truly blessed. And what is most amazing is that I feel fantastic!!! Violetta even says that she hears it in my voice!


The girls are adjusting wonderfully and are slowly warming up to Mom. Well at least Idra is. Ciccio is keeping her distance. It's so nice to come home to their love. If you don't have a pet, something is seriously wrong with you!!!

I am having difficulty with food here. There is no taste! To anything!! God, please teleport some real Italian/ Mediterranean food my way please!!! Hahaha, if only!

I watched the inauguration from the computer lab at Houston Northwest Medical Center as I was midway through my orientation for my new contract job. I'm enjoying the ICU there. Really nice nurses.

This weekend I'm heading to Fort Worth for one of my dear friend's bachelorette party! Trouble will be made!!! I'll post what pictures I can! ;)

What was so cute is that I found some childhood pics! Aren't I a cutie?? My brothers are adorable as well.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!
