Ahh, rest!
So, I made it through the weekend.
With Petey dying a couple weeks ago, and Swan on Friday, I wasn't well-equipped to work my tail off this weekend, but I kept plugging away, and now it's over.
I'm sleeping better with the heat turned down, but keep waking up because I know why the temperature is cooler. I wish things had turned out differently for her - she was still a little baby. At least I rescued her while she was still alive - I could tell she was happy to be found (I'm not sure if snakes experience happiness as humans do, but they have an equivalent).
So, I will stick with Burmese pythons & corn snakes - it should be an interesting year, getting them to breed, hatching the eggs, working with the babies...
I've been thinking a lot again this weekend, and have decided I need to buckle down & concentrate on the few things I can change, given my current situation, and focus on accomplishing my main goals, rather than thinking so much about all the possibilities that may lie ahead of me.
I will write down a budget, rather than keeping track of it all in my head. That system worked for me in the past, but I need to kick-start my financial situation in the right direction, and I think that will be a big help.
I will use what I know, and what is likely, to improve my work opportunities, rather than always checking out some new way of earning a living. I'm comparatively young yet, but I can tell working so many hours doing hard work is wearing me down, though I thank God for allowing me to keep up with the work, and retain my good health for the most part.
I will look forward to God's plan for me being revealed little by little, in bits & pieces, or maybe in big chunks, rather than trying to see what's ahead in every new development in my life.
Lastly, I will appreciate all the little bright spots, and dwell on them, rather than obsessing over all the little bad things that happen to me. I've been making an effort to do that lately, and it's amazing what a positive outlook does in every area of a life. God's put lots of reminders (both in the way of bright spots, and instances of the value of being optimistic) in my life lately, and I have gotten the message.
Make it so.
