Thoughts on July 19, 2021
Well, today was a busy day, to say the least; We had a new girl that just started, along with another girl who has not been there that long, doing pretty good. However, they need more work in areas of the restaurant business. It is so hard in this day and time that you cannot tell anyone anything for fear that it will make them mad and quit. The struggles are real; when it comes to finding people who want to work. Show off their skills and traits to the public. Sometimes you come across a few here and there who want to do the job and do it to the best of their ability or the highest standards. However, most of what we end up with are the ones that do not want to do all the work and think they know everything about the world. There are times that you have to bite your tongue for fear of saying something wrong; then there goes your reputation and career all in one swoop. These days people can be so rude people act the way they do in the workplace. It scares her so much because of the way the world is going! With the killings, robberies, and riots everywhere in the world! Not everyone understands the crime and chaos happening.

Random Thoughts 10/9/2021
You never know what you're going to see as your sitting outside no, matter what you are doing. There's always something to see doesn't matter if it's the people that walk by or drive by. People are mysterious in so many ways it's hard to understand what people are thinking throughout the day. It's not that you would want to know what everyone is thinking about because you might not like what you hear. Sometimes she sits around and thinks about my mom. But then she knows she's in a better place because she's not hurting. Dealing; with cancer is a hard thing to do; when you have to leave all your family behind. This year it's going to be horrible. These people want $15 an hour to flip burgers at McDonald's or Burger King.

Life is going well right now, and she is still writing in her journal every day.

Trade-offs you Face
Some of the tradeoffs that she faces in her life deal with the things that take up time. Homeschooling, college, work, and family. Sometimes it is hard to make enough time in the day for these things that she holds dear to her heart. Sometimes there is not enough time, and you have to ensure that you have the time to get the required things done with the allocated time you have during a day. You have to spend your time wisely. To manage to get the items done in the time; you have set out for those items.

Writing about the Day
Today started pretty well woke up and spent some time just talking about different things. When you finally realize there are some needs to make some changes in life and what she wants to do for the rest of her life and working in the restaurant field is something that she does not want to do anymore. Well, things are quiet around here, and everyone is doing things they want to do she, assumes because; no one is here with her in the living room. She watched a video of her grandson starting to try and learn how to crawl. It is nice to watch them grow and see how they shape up in the world. When you become a grandparent, it is something quite; different than anything else. Our job as parents is to make sure that we raise our children and teach them how to defend themselves. You will always come across people and find out they are staying at the house living with their parents for the rest of their life. We are not teaching them anything but how to get away with living in their parent's house and not making a life for themselves. It is time to push them out of the house for their good and learn how the world works. Well, anyway, things are looking pretty around the house, and flowers are blooming all around. Our garden did not do that well this year because, as usual, we did not get started in time enough, and then it gets; too hot for the plants.

Random Thoughts Today
Throughout the day, we spend our time meeting lots of people in the foodservice business. We have some rude customers as well. Maybe it is time for people to start voicing their opinions about what is going on in the world today. There is so much hate in the world that people don't know how to be kind anymore. It is sometimes nice to see how many good people there are in the world. However, people that are always angry probably didn't have a good life. It is crazy to spend your whole day grumpy and act like a fool in public. Being in the food business means you have to kill them with kindness; and not let your emotions show. Sometimes people have a hard time dealing with the world because no one has taught them to deal with it because they do not know how to stand up for themselves.

Finding A Passion
As she sits here writing about various things on her blog; starting to write more in her journal with several different posts and various; topics. There is so much to write about, and she doesn't know where to start so many things on her mind, and she cannot possibly keep track of them. You have to want something for it to happen, and you have to put in the work for it to exist. Well, for now, she continues with what she is doing. When you start thinking about the life you want, then; you should seize the day and make it happen.

Living A Life
You know it is amazing how people in this world act. Things that people do and the work ethic in this world today are nothing to brag about by no means. People that work for any company should adhere to the rules of the business. They don't want to be on time for work, they call in at the last minute, and you hear all kinds of excuses on why they cannot be a responsible adult. As she sits there thinking about how the day went. Although we were busy, we did not have the time to get things done in time enough for the next shift. There are businesses around our store that do not have their dining room open. So that means more people are coming to our store because they can come in and sit down.

Happy Thoughts Around
She has learned many things in the last week about her blog, and she figured out how to do some things that she did not know before. Like adding posts to categories, they have their page and not in the blog roll on the front page. When she started this blog, she did not understand the ins and outs of blogging. She decided to start it because of the discussion questions in college. Why not put them on a blog and see if people will respond.
