This month I've been trying to make more than minimum payments on my credit card so I can get it paid off faster - consequently all my "extra" money has been going there. Well Saturday I got a couple of things from the store and then checked my checking account balance. I had $4.68. I had tithing to pay, a cell bill to pay, and miscellaneous other things that needed to be paid for. Pay day is on the 8th - the day before school gets out and my cell phone bill is due on the 14th. I knew it'd be tight but it'd be doable if I were careful. Next week I'm selling my books back and I'll get some money for that and I filed my income taxes a couple of weeks ago and it should be coming at some point. I decided to pay my tithing.
This morning I checked my account balance again - not that I expected it to change over night, but you never can tell. My federal income tax return had hit my account. And now I have more than five dollars to my name. Hooray!!
The moral of the story is...pay your tithing and you'll be blessed!

Relax...Take a Deep Breath
In my HFED class today we've been talking about stress and ways to handle it. My teacher suggested that we close our eyes and go to our "happy place," at which point we were then suppose to breath deeply and relax. My teacher then had us do exactly that - during this relaxation exercise I must have flinched or shuddered or something because my teacher asked me about it afterwards.
I explained how my happy place consisted of me being in a meadow on a warm summer day. It then shifted to me running through a semi dark forest with someone chasing me - that was a bit creepy. And then it shifted back to me being in the meadow.
My class just laughed but what I thought was interesting was that this was the second time I've done this exercise and the second time it's shifted to the forest mid-way through.
Chalk one up for relaxation exercises!!!!
