CHORES..
Honestly do you even like hearing that word?
I know I hated it when I was younger but once I hit high school I started actually enjoyed picking up.
But, no matter how we feel about chores there always is ONE chore we really hate doing.

Most of us do not even call picking up or doing the dishes a chore now because it is just something we have to do.. regardless. So, What is one thing that is classified as a chore that you really could careless about doing, or wish you could skip if you could.

​I know mine would either be:
DISHES, I mean yes we have a dishwasher but honestly I wash and rinse the dishes before they go in there so in reality they are getting cleaned twice. 
OR
Sweeping, honestly I hate sweeping, I wish I could just vacuum all the time. I always get so frustrated when sweeping into the dust pan because I never can get everything, I feel like I'm always leaving things behind. (insert eye roll)

WHERE IS YOUR DREAM TRAVEL DESTINATION?

Traveling is so fun, and I think is very important to see different places, the culture, and living conditions, the beauty, and of course let us not forget FOOD!  You can read a book or hear someone tell a story about a place all day long.. but it does not compare to your own experience in your own eyes whether you are just traveling an hour away, two states over, or to another country. Wherever you go, I can assure you will learn something.
Each place you travel holds it own uniqueness, just like you..


MY DREAM TRAVEL DESTINATION IS
Zimbabwe, Africa! 
WHY?
I would love to see where my family grew up, it is very important to me! Oh, the stories they tell I cannot even imagine. Of course, I have seen pictures, but seeing it with my own eyes and being able to explore would be so fun. 

THINGS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IN ZIMBABWE:
​​1.  My papa's dad's farm if still there, or even just the location. My papa eventually took over the farm when his father passed away.
2. THE ANIMALS- I mean, could you imagine just walking outside and seeing an elephant.
3. Victoria Falls-ahhh I can just hear the sound, granny said it is pretty. 
4. I think I would like to take a Zambezi river cruise.
5. Go see Zimbabwe's capital Harare.
6. See where my family grew up, where everything was, to put some reference in location on where some of the stories take place. 
So there are just a few things I would love to do while in Zimbabwe...
Cannot wait to hear about your dream travel destination.

XOXO CAT

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAREER?

My dream career was being a vet, mainly large animal vet. I continuously ask myself
WHY, Why did I not go to vet school? 
The honest answer: The thought of being in school that long scared me, along with how hard it is being accepted in to vet school. At the time I was making the decision on what I wanted to go to college for there was no demand for just large animal vets in our area, and yes, I know I would've had to do small animals too, but I really just wanted to do livestock.
Reflecting back on my decision, I regret not going
WHY?
1. Because I would've enjoyed my job, there would always be something new, and learning on the job everyday.
2. Because now there is a demand for large animal vets, it is hard anymore to get a vet that wants to come out to the farm well besides DR. POL
(my vet role model, if you've never watched his show you should)
3. THE PAY LETS BE HONEST, THE TIME IN SCHOOL WOULD'VE BEEN WORTH IT
Those are only some of the reason why I wish I had've gone

Today’s thought: Change

1. If you could change one thing In your life what would it be? (Could be a simple change or major)
starting small may be easier, but either
YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH, I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
​2. How are you going to accomplish that change?
or
What are some steps that will help you?
3. What will be the hardest about the change?

Stay tuned for my changes I want and will accomplish just like you!

Today for me, changes start!

The first change, weight or fitness may not be a big deal to everyone, but I have to start exercising again, I have to stop drinking those darn sodas, I have to stop eating that moose tracks ice cream even though it's so good.

You see recently I haven't been the happiest with my body, a lot has been going on and some beyond my control but what is in my control is taking care of myself best I can!

What is one thing you would like to change about you or your life?

For me, my first change is
  • ​Working out everyday, and yes I will have to start slow but that's okay.
  • Stopping the sodas, and the fast food.
  • My goal is to loose 15 pounds, and yes it is achievable if I push myself
We are all guilty, of starting and like a week into it caving and just saying I’m done, I’M GUILTY, I’VE DONE IT A MILLION TIMES, but this time CHANGE IS COMING.
​
Starting Monday.. anyone who wants to join in and hold one another accountable, can, NOTICE those from Princeton that I’m not starting the healthy me until after BLACK PATCH, because this girl is going to her a funnel cake.

No judgement zone!

WHAT IS YOUR CHANGE?

Do you ever sit back and think about life?
I know I am always go go go.. and never put in a lot of time in reflecting. 
When I say "think about life" I am meaning all the positives in your life, many times we get caught up in thinking about all the negative things in our life, but the truth is at any given point your positives should outweigh all the negatives in your life.

I am admitting that sometimes, well being  bluntly honest most of the time I let all the negative thoughts get the best of me, and take over the positive in my life. For example, if something doesn't go right, I let it ruin my whole day, and my attitude sucks! Who's with me?

Everyone has their bad days or a struggle, or a bump in the road but nothing you can't get over, so why let it ruin your days? Again something I am learning, and some things are beyond our control but our attitude and the way we take on each challenge helps with overcoming each challenge.

THINK POSITIVE, BUILD, and MOST IMPORTANTLY BE YOU, YOUR BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF

Recently I have decided to start each day out with a quote or a question for myself to answer daily. To build reflection of things that are happening or have happened in my life. Each day, I want to start out with a goal for the day, and how I can achieve it. For example it could be something as simple as holding the door for someone, just building on my character, and enjoy each day to the fullest. 

Each day, from now on. I will have a quote or a question or reflection of life posted
maybe a funny meme, or joke, we all need a laugh here and there.
xoxo

    Hey it's Cat 

     Random is the perfect word for me.
    ​My everyday life consist of lots of laughs, jokes, happiness,craziness.      Some days are filled with  tears, stress, anger, and over-emotional me.
    We all have our good days and bad days, but most importantly we are still living our best life. In this section of my blog, RANDOMNES is defiantly the description.  Some days I may just talk about an adventure, or something you need to check out. Some days I may have failed at something or venting or life obstacles. Some days it will be a life lesson, or inspirational, or thought. The goal of this section is to make you laugh, be inspired and also know whatever your going through whether it be something I post about or something you relate to, that your not alone, and most of all I'm always here to listen and give the best advice I can.
