A Little Deeper

I believe that the differences in our responses to the performance task of taking care of ourselves, result from the way that we each see the tasks that fall under this category. I see these tasks as an opportunity to have some time to relax, either before I start my day or at the end of it, my father does anything expect relax when doing these tasks. He sees these tasks as time slots. When he needs to do these tasks that he already believes are unimportant, that he could be and should be doing…

We had been aching for some fun that week, however none of us had any ideas on what “kind” of fun we wanted. The week was quite stressful, due to many tests, assignments, and life in general, so we decided we needed a good “stress reliever” for the weekend. I guess just like every other teenager, my friends and I live for the weekend, because we started planning the event for that weekend around Monday of that week. We had finally decided that we were going to throw a party at Summer Martin’s…

I haven 't paused to blog for some time now. With a crazy schedule for myself, kids, and family, there is often little time to stop and reflect. But this major milestone deserves some reflecting. And it deserves some shoutouts to some important people. And it just deserves to be written down for others to reflect on, find comfort in, and maybe offer thoughts as well. This isn 't one of my typical education and technology posts. In fact, it really doesn 't have much technology associated with it…

Both verbal and nonverbal communication are important in our daily lives. Nonverbal communication often expresses the feelings that we cannot put into words. Verbal communication allows us to convey our thoughts and opinions to others in a clear way. These go hand in hand as people use both during conversation to not only speak their mind, but to express the emotion tied to those words through their body language. As I was sitting in the nail salon, behind me I heard what sounded to be two older…

like a fit for a depression-era office building. The colors were very grim as well, which did fit the aesthetic quite well. The room gave off a feeling of being sepia toned without being too forceful about it. The room felt lived in, but only a little bit. There was stuff strewn everywhere, but there just wasn’t enough to get the feeling across that it was someone’s office. It makes sense, because the set dressers cannot make that amount of clutter without sacrificing movement of the…

Everyone’s gone on some sort of trip. Whether it be somewhere local or a complete different country, they have one thing in common, the people. Recently I took a trip to Florida and I realized although we were in the same location the people around me were not having the same experiences. Different people go different places for different reasons. There’s the tourist who sticks to the well beaten path and doesn’t like to be outside of their comfort zone. Then there is the stereotypical family…

transformation of Vivianne Cook and her best friend, Alice Tyler. Colleen Nye writes about how the pair stands together in tough situations and are always on each other’s side no matter what troubles are brought. Alice’s vacation in Maui turned to have a little bit more than she had expected upon meeting a famous celebrity. In the beginning of the novel, Vivianne does not feel fully confident. She barely over 5’ and had just gotten back in shape. She was also not satisfied of her new short…

the many dangers of “Texting while driving” and “underage drinking”or “how they’re out too late” all very serious topics. But sometimes these topics can get pretty heated, and sometimes we lose our rationality and it causes these fights to get a little…..violent. (thank goodness it has never gotten that bad with my family) But what I’m trying to say is who with my family, me and my dad especially, we tend to have “a short fuse” as they say. But I can see why with my dad, He works all week leaves…

is built to last with the toughest runs, and can challenge you in any way imaginable. Like most treadmills on this list, it has the capability to increase or decrease the incline of the run. But the user can also adjust the resistance level for a little bit of an extra challenge. However, it is specially build to absorb your impact, so these tough workouts will not wear on your muscles and joints. The 15-inch touch screen also provides the distraction needed to push through any wall. It is…
