When it comes to writing I really don't feel like I have too many obstacles preventing me from saying what I need to say. In my own little reality I have 6 distinct obstacles that tend to draw my attention away from whatever I may be doing. I lose my train of thought so quickly with these 6 distinct obstacles. But, hey, who doesn't get distracted by sweet lil kids?!
I do believe in being non-confrontational and empathetic. I think being judgmental and negative just leads to more of the same. Being mindful of what say, especially in a public posting, is important because anything we say may influence others in someway and my goal is to only positively inspire others.
My biggest obstacle is privacy. I do have to keep aspects of my life private and especially as I delve into the world of Social Work the need for privacy increases. I hope that I will be able to continue writing publicly while maintaining my own sense of self in the process.

Free Writing
Writing for 5-10 minutes immediately reminds me that I prefer typing over writing. This may have to do with not being in the flow of writing with my hand any longer, like those long ago days in school when there were no computers and everything was handwritten. All those callouses and our fingers bent just so to hold a pencil at any given moment. Hand cramps. Yes, typing I prefer.
Free flowing typing allows for my all the emotions and thoughts that are floating around my head to flow out. It feels like a release in a way. I've been stressed out this past week, more then usual so this assignment was therapeutic. I always feel like one of those people that falls through the cracks of the system.
Some of my kids were sick this week which always makes for an interesting juggling game of figuring out how to care for them, get them to the doctors, getting myself to class, staying on top of homework, etc....
This week has been a good lesson for me in remembering to stay in the present moment. I have been working hard on remembering to meditate daily. The practice of meditation is really helping me to stay focused and calm no matter what storm I find myself in.
