Two Wolves

As a Cherokee elder was teaching his grandchildren about life, he said to them,
> “A fight is going on inside of me…it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One
> wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
> hatefulness, and lies. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope,
> humility, kindness, friendship, generosity, faith, and truth. This same fight is
> going on inside of you, and inside of every other person too.”
>
> The children thought about it for a minute. Then one child asked his
> grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
>
> The Cherokee elder wisely replied, “The one you feed.”

Gave Blood....

So at work today the Red Cross was there and I was able to give blood. What a crazy hour! Due to the fact that I told the phlebotimist that my right arm would be better and he said no its fine I will draw from the left, and then ended up fishing for the vein in the left arm. In fact after moments of trying he called over his manager and he had to find my vein. Sometimes I wonder why I give. HAHA no I do because I don't mind it, especially the treats and juice you get afterwards!! I mean really who gives blood and doesn't take advantage of the free treats and juice. Afterwards, I told a co-worker that all I needed now was a nap! Sad to say, I didn't get one. haha
GOOD NEWS MINUTE!  Today my bro and sis in law brought over dinner and dessert for me and parents. It was delicious!! My sis made chicken marinated with root beer and BBQ sauce. I know sounds crazy but it was yummy!!!! Thankful again for an amazing family!!!

School Introduction

For English class I had to write an introduction. I have decided to post here. What do you you think?
Hello,
Welcome to the introduction of Krystal. I am 28 living in Highland, Utah. I am a daughter, sister, friend and an avid bowler. I work for Intermountain Health Care, full time in billing and will hopefully  become a Physical Therapist when 7 -8 years of schooling is done.  I have been able to participate in several life changing events which have helped my character become strong; including a pancreatic cancer survivor and a divorce survivor as well as having re-invented your life moments. As mentioned before I love bowling. I was on a bowling team for 5 years and have won a state title. But money and time have stopped my hobby for now. (Anyone know if our school has a collegiate league?)  I have an amazing family in which I am proud but more grateful to belong to. I have three brothers and one sister/best friend. I have several nephews and nieces whom I adore and they all adore me! (Only because I get to spoil them) lol This semester is putting my toes back in the college realm. I took a year off due to the above mentioned life changing events.  I am excited to be back and to be changing my life for the better. Other areas of changing my life include working out and yoga, in which I love to do. My next love is my car which is a Mazda3, it was a life changing (divorce) present to me.  I also enjoy reading and history. My major before physical therapy is history, any other History Majors? I believe we can learn much from history. It is where we came from and who/what has shaped us today!  Well as you can tell I have lots to say, but for this introduction I will step off my soap box and let someone else take their turn. I hope you are all having a great day!!

Long Day

Hello Day,
What a long one you have been! First with my list at work being so short then my Internet being down most of the afternoon, and yes my job is online today. Then not getting any homework done. Then not getting to the grocery store. Oh man complain. So what we need is...
GOOD MINUTE NEWS
My sister spent the day with me. YEA for SISTERS!!!! Ok seriously what would I do if I didn't have my sister. I don't think I would have survived my crazy life! Love her tons! She is there for me on the bad days, the good days and all the days in between. She is there when I am crazy and when I am just not myself. I am sure my Heavenly Father put me and my sis together for eternity for a reason!! Who else can put up with me for that long??  :)

New Cookie Day

So today was my day off for the New Years holiday. Yes I realize it being a little late, but better late than never, well that I dont have control when my job takes their holidays. LOL So today was full of errands and cookies. I had to go to Costco, bank, post office, other bank, Smiths and gas station. Then after I got home I made cookies and they are SOOO super good. There are from the Chocolate Never Faileth cookbook, called  Sierra Nuggets. They have oats and cornflakes (weird I know) chocolate chips and nuts. It tastes almost healthy, which isn't such a good thing because if I think its healthy I will eat more.... Oh man. Luckily I am taking a plate to my bro and sis in law with dinner of course, to help ease a little of the stress of having a new  baby. Mom and baby are doing just fine, so that is good! :) Now, besides all the above mentioned activity I am off to clean my room and the TOY room which is ironic because I dont have kids haha but I live with my parents who have messy but wonderful grandchildren. Wish me luck!
GOOD NEWS MINUTE OF THE DAY... my first class is posted online. So for one of the three I now know what is expected and how much I have to do. I am so excited for my life to start this year! I am taking 3 classes at UVU all online, 2 classes at SLCC Institute and I started a work out program. So it looks to be a busy but wonderful flitterbye life!!!
