Writing Styles
Everyone writes differently, and your writing defines how you perceive the world and surroundings. Writing; comes naturally to some, and the words flow from their mind onto whatever they are using at that moment. During the writing, you see a book about different topics to write about; to get a start; writing on the sides of the book the thoughts and memories; that your memory will let you remember.

A Mother's Love
This Mothers Day, we celebrate all the mothers in the world. The ones that are always there when we need them in our life. Mothers are the ones who take care of us when we are sick and when we need a shoulder to cry on when things are not going the way that they should. Our mothers are the ones we run to when we need advice about what to do when our children are acting out; and doing things that they should not be doing. She remembers one day when her children decided to become cooks with everything in her kitchen. She called her mother to find out what to do because she would have done something drastically wrong. After all, all the food that she had was now on her floor and everywhere else that you could think. Can you imagine five dozen eggs all over the floor, a bag of flour all over the children and on the floor? Now we sit here and make fun of the things that our children have done in the past because they are older! How we miss the things that we cannot have anymore. Not a day goes by that I do not miss talking to you and looking at your beautiful smile. You were the glue that kept this family together and talking. Now that you are not here, it seems as though our family has gone their separate ways from one another. We spend our lives arguing and fighting over the things that happened in the past, and sometimes it; is harder to let go of the past. It is hard to let go of the past and live our life the way we should because sometimes the past comes back into our hearts. It is part of our life, and sometimes you know that you should give in to the past because of the hurt and awful things that happened in our past life.

A Life Filled with Hope Chapter 1
The earliest time; she can remember during her childhood was playing in the yard with her brothers! Who was throwing a ball; around the yard, their dog lassie she was, playing in the yard as she chased the ball around? She did not want to go and get the ball for fear of lassie jumping on her, and that is what exactly happened. She remembers that the water was nothing but iron and rust it, as well, water, which made her sick to her stomach. She did not know that even if the water; was masked by Kool-Aid or tea. The house they lived in; was bought by her grandparents; and paid off by her parents eventually. By looking through the journal entries of years ago, she finds that her family struggled for many years. It never changed; somehow, when your parents raise you, you eventually become what your parents were unless you do something about it. She has; heard many stories about when she was; growing up; she was the second child that her mother had just a year after her brother. Her father told her that she spent more time with her aunt Kaye than; she did at home. Her father would say that he would come home and find his daughter not there. He would ask where she was, and he would go and get her, bring her back home with the family. Of course, she does not remember this, and those memories are long gone for the time being. She knows that her parents loved her. But the consequences of their actions over the years presented her with problems. She could not overcome on her own! She will never understand; the actions of her parents after the move from Newport, Tennessee, and what transpired during this time because it does not make sense to her! The only thing that she can remember about her childhood is the memories she finds notated in pictures of a past time.

Internet of Things (IoT)
In studying, for the CompTIA exam, she had to figure out some way to help memorize the questions; and answers, so; she decided to create her classroom to help her study without having to rummage through papers. It helps to have something that works for you when it comes to memorizing things you need to know for the upcoming test. Although, you may want to keep looking at the information even after you pass the test because it changes every day. We see it every day somewhere in the world there is a Cyber Security attack. It does not matter what type of person or company the hackers are not worried about who they steal from because they are out to cause harm. You eventually have to become better than the hacker. Learning how to figure out what the hackers are doing is the best part of it all.

Inflation at the Finest
Well, now; that we are fixing to be going into the spring and summer months, our electric company decided to sell out to Florida Light and Power. They have now raised the energy bills we went, from a 200 dollar electric bill in January to 400 dollars in February; she is not looking forward to seeing the next bill coming in March. It makes you wonder what will happen to people who cannot afford their electric bills and get shut off for non-payment. People cannot; run their air conditioning through the summer months? It is not looking good for the older people in North Florida that already live on a budget; to begin with, they already have to watch what they spend each month. Come on! Florida Light and Power! You have to know that raising the energy bills is not going to be working the way; all want it to it, is almost like you are charging all the high prices just for fun. People will have to choose between medicine, food, other bills such as gas and water. How are people supposed to survive through the summer months to keep cool without running their air conditioning systems? You cannot keep your settings on 68 degrees all the time, and you cannot run your air conditioning all day long. In our house, we use the fan on our air conditioner at night to keep the noises from the outside down to a minimum, and we don't run it all day because that would make our bill go higher than it is right now. So that we can sleep without interruption from the ambulances and other loud noises because it is hard to get any sleep at all. People need to start raising their voices to the rate hikes with the Florida Light and Power company. She wants to know why she has gas heat, doesn't run her air conditioner, and runs one fan in her living room, and her bill is almost 400 dollars for one month.

We were busy for the most part today, ended up doing 1500 dollars for the seven-hour shift which, made the day go by quickly; she was ready to get out of there and make her way home for the rest of the evening. Sham was lying in the living room on his blanket but got up so she could pet him when she got home and sat down in her chair at the desk. Well, she; is sitting here thinking about something to write about and looking for someone to come in and work 5-9 which, is hard to find because many people do not want to come in for four hours and do nothing. Well, she finally got it covered and just in time too. We are having; meatloaf again tonight was so good yesterday, and everyone enjoyed it. She received a video of her grandson eating some cake man; he had that all; over the place. He is so cute and lovable. He is growing up so fast.

Life with Electronics
When you take the time throughout the day, we spend most of our time meeting people in the food service business that come to eat in your restaurant. We have some rude customers as well. Maybe it is time for people to start voicing their opinions about what is going on in the world today. There is so much hate around; that people don't know how to be kind anymore. It is sometimes nice to see how many good people there are in the world. However, people that are always angry probably didn't have a good life is crazy to spend your whole day grumpy and acting like a fool in public. Being in the food business means you have to kill them with kindness; and not let your emotions show. Sometimes people have a hard time dealing with the world because no one has taught them to deal with it because they do not know how to stand up for themselves.

Well, today started good and was busy for the longest time. Finally, when arriving at work started getting busy with the things to do this morning. Well, the other grill op was late for work for the first time today. We ended up doing around 1400 dollars this morning. Lots of customers go shopping trying to find those deals. Of course, they also have to stop in to eat with us every day. Many of the customers we have come into our establishment are regular customers we see seven days a week. Sometimes you will have customers that want only you to cook their food because you know how they like it. It is always satisfying to know; that you're cooking is what they come back for every day. You have to take care of your customers to keep that clientele up and going throughout the year. Today was not that bad although, the truck that was supposed to come yesterday came today right at the time; we started getting busy. Go figure! Finally, she got everything done and was ready to head home for the evening. It is the time of year and is the busiest time for the place she works with all the travelers coming through our town for the holidays.
