Expect The Great

So last Wednesday I posted a blog about how things weren't going the way I hoped. But in the end I wasn't going to give up. I talked about how I went to apply to get back in school so I could go ahead and catch up and graduate next March. Then I found out in order to register for my classes in April I had to make a payment no matter what. Well no sooner than I posted my blog, my house phone rang and it was my admissions advisor. He told me that he had good news for me and that I wasn't going to believe it. You ready for this????? He told me that I was going to get a $20,000.00 scholarship for school! So as I sat there listening to him, staring at the computer screen with my mouth wide open, I was in total disbelief!!!! I could not believe it! It was like I was dreaming and if someone has pinched me I was gonna punched the living daylights out of them and go right back to sleep! I was basically in awe. I was, well, speechless. So after I got off the phone I tweeted it and my best friend Katie was I think more excited than I was. LOL She knows what I've been going through and she's always been there no matter what! That's why we've been friends for umpteen years.....too many to name.

So later that day I went to church and my Pastor was teaching about having an attitude of excellence. And let me tell you guys something, before the last year was over with I had decided I was going to change my attitude when it came to certain things in my life. I decided I was going to change my attitude toward the way I viewed my health and when it came to school and it was like his lesson came just in time. And although some people may not believe it, IT WORKS!!!!! I have been living my life it a totally different atmosphere since November of last year and look at how things are turning around! Now I'm not saying things are perfect, but hey, I am thankful for the good and the bad because I know in the end I will come out on top! And guess what, I've already lost ten pounds! I mean I already thought I was sexy, but hey, dustin' off a little weight won't hurt! So my motto has been #ExpectTheGreat! I put that on Twitter everyday. Expect the best people. When you expect bad things to happen, guess what, they do. But when you expect great things to happen, they do!!

Have a beautiful evening everyone, I'm going to go spend time with my beautiful boys.
