Well, I've already started by improving my eating habits. I make better choices that aren't perfect every single hour of the day, but I do my best at most times. I'm also working out at least four days a week. I'm even training for the Peachtree Road Race on the 4th of July. Exercise is a great way to cleanse yourself and feel better. Overall, I'm taking time out for me and my personal goals and wellness, not just trying to impress people.
Next on the agenda: getting ready to teach 9th Grade English. I've been talking about teaching for four years, and I'm finally on my way. The teachers I know always complain about their pay, but a teacher's pay would be a very nice step up from where I am now. This is the beginning of the next stage of my life, and I can't wait for it to start.
One of the perks of this new life: I'll have more money for traveling like I want to. I just returned from the Virgin Islands
for our 55th Regional Conference, and it was wonderful being outside of Atlanta. I am going to get out more often, even if it's just me. But first, I'll visit several friends, family members, and/or sorors in other cities and states.
