GRATEFUL

I am grateful for warm sunny days.
I am grateful for wonderful family and friends.
I am grateful for our American freedoms.
I am grateful to have good health.
I am grateful for the ever-changing new technologies.

If you only believe

If you can only believe in your dreams
If you can only believe in what you want your life to be
If you can only believe you can achieve what your heart desires

Just believe and you will achieve great things!

After all week of study and perseverance, I finally was able to 
pass my Boards for NP!

If only I can inspire those reading this blog to never give up on your goals!!
Just believe and you can achieve anything!!
Love to all, Nikki B.

the little train

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I keep telling myself. 

Well I've been studying all week for my National Certification Boards
 for Nurse Practitioner. Tomorrow's the big day! Okay okay I still 
have a few hours in the morning where I will try to go over 
some last minute notes!!

But.....if I haven't learned it by now! There's not much chance 
I will learn it by tomorrow! The idea is to just reinforce all the 
studying I have done up until this point. To keep it fresh in my mind.
So here's til tomorrow!

I can do this! I can do this! I can do this! (Also I pray alot!)

Hope everyone is having a great week!
Love,

 Nikki B.

H a p p i n e s s

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. 

I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. 

I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

FAITH

of all the times that we all should need faith this is it.

we need faith to help us weather the changes in our jobs,
our families, our health, our country, our belief systems.
we need faith to give us strength to meet the challenges
every day.

Without faith, there is no hope.
