Logic. But cortisol clouds your judgement.

I love Google hangouts with the Brock 2 besties. and I'm on time but the last one there!! Because punctuality is important to Canadians :)⏰🍁 I'm grateful that I'm a short walk from the beach and can lay for an hour with a book☀️⛱ I'm grateful and proud that I'm needed and I hope I can continue to be supporting others💐 I'm proud to have been in a faithful loving relationship for 6 months as of yesterday 😊❤️ Today I accomplished many things. I prepped cooked myself a healthy meals 🍽 using very minimal tools (takes time when you have one electric hot plate, one big pot and one small pan!). My stir fry was tasty, I had my first experiment with lentils (not so shabby!) and I didn't eat any sweets except 2 bananas 🍌😉 I also graded all chemistry ⚗🌡except for the incomplete assignment and a bio test. I'm not done, but I have accomplished a lot🗃📈. I challenge myself to be more active/exercise 🏋🏼 and to keep calm and stress free🙏🏻

Had a short visit with a few big thrills! Escape room was the coolest new thing to do! 3 months seems like eons, but 12 weeks seems manageable :) count down is on!

The Canadian winter brings so many blessings. Natural refrigeration, Siberian bliss, crisp air and comfort in clothes, bright sunshine with the bluest skies for days, and what people often take for granted: health! I'm grateful the pests are seasonally removed, but I also enjoy a warm winter/cool spring walk :)

Stuffed myself silly on my trip home. Never take for granted the low cost and deliciousness of food available in Canada! I will be gratefully paying for this for the next three months... Bring on summer :)

I'm grateful for E and for W. They have taught me two lessons. For one, they have taught me the difference between love and lust. Secondly, they gave me difficulties to overcome which, in turn, has given me strength. This is also humbled me helped me to find my blessings. I'm grateful for A.D. E, who gave me confidence again. He allowed me to trust men again, he made me feel beautiful in my own skin, and helped me find my ability to be intimate/ how I like to be intimate. And grateful for I. You show me how love has no boundaries and you show me how love is about loving someone's flaws. He loves me at my lowest. I can depend on him always.

I am grateful for and so proud of my sister; happy birthday to her!! I am proud of my first coconut chopping and grateful for my students who explained to me that t doesn't come in bits, I need to buy the little round ones and smash it on the floor myself. I'm proud that my principal praised how my work goes over expectations and validated my desire to be a counsellor. She recommended I go on to training in that and I think I will! I am grateful for the mosquito net that protects me at night and I am grateful for the sun and the wind which we got to enjoy with my small biology class today. I'm grateful for having small classes to get to know the students so well, and I am grateful for the guest speaker who was able to share his wealth of knowledge with us today.

I am proud that I have motivated young students to do their own scientific research and I am grateful that I could be part of a district event in Saint Lucia. I am grateful for having air conditioning and a safe school with students and teachers who care about academics and student engagement I am proud that I put a lot of effort into my own professional development and try to find ways to be good at my job. I am proud that I always try to help all students, regardless of their abilities and even if they're not "my" students. I am grateful for probiotics-- I really think my energy levels are 200% better with this multi chewable!!

I am grateful for discovering yoga, my newest interest for something to learn and grow at. I am grateful for the women from eXxpedition who came to speak at our school and inspired me to look into research projects like theirs. I am grateful for my hardworking students who were inspired on their own topics and worked independently on their projects. I'm grateful for their positivity as they still spent the day in good spirits without other participants at the fair.
