I've read many books that I've forgotten, I've seen many of the summer blockbuster films which weren't worthy to review. Haven't this year's summer movies been a tad mediocre? A couple were good, The Avengers and Hunger Games I liked enough. I refused to watch the Hunger Games until I read the book. I was a bit late to jump on the Hunger Games bandwagon after my disappointment with Twilight, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book, well the first chapter at least and then everything after page 130. The movie exceeded my expectations, thank god! It's been so long since I read and watched the movie, I won't waste my time reviewing either, but read it and go see it.
My life changed completely, for the better of course. After years dealing with layoffs, department restructuring and part-time and freelance work in Public Relations, I'm teaching again. It's what I enjoy doing. I learned that, yes, I had the best of both worlds, but one fits better into my lifestyle. I learned that I don't have to give up the things that I love. I can still blog, still do a little bit of Public Relations freelance work, and I can still be a social media guru! I learned that I am resilient, strong and am capable of many things. Life is good right now, I just need to take care of myself, lose some weight, get in shape, and try to be a little more laid back. Things work out in the end, sometimes it takes going back to where it all began. Am I a success? Right now I think so!
Have a great start of the summer (at least it's my start). I look forward to what the future has in store for me!
