Today COVID-19 Is in My Bed and Now I’m Out the Bedroom
I’ve been sleeping on our “not-so-comfy” pull-out bed for the last 8 nights. My comfy king-sized bed has been off-limits for me since last Sunday. The day my essential job working husband tested positive for COVID-19.

Eating Disorders and Society
“I’ll just pretend I’m skinny” I remember thinking this at the age of 8 while playing pretend. I was slightly overweight for my age and this would continue, however I was very much aware of the fact that I wanted to be thinner. Even in the third grade I wanted to be smaller.

Start Sacrificing To Succeed!
Sacrifice is defined as an act of giving up something valued, for the sake of obtaining something else regarded as more important or worthy. Irrespective of the definition, what does sacrifice actually mean to you personally? There are three specific examples, that come to mind, when I think of the those who are the epitome of sacrifice. Unfortunately, this particular platform prevents my full freedom of speech, so I cannot share two of those three examples, but the third of these three examples of sacrifice and bravery, we have witnessed in recent history, or are even witnessing as we speak. We can't go past thinking about those before us who sacrificed their lives, just to go to war, in a bid to protect their respective countries, and its citizens. Even today, our service men and women continue to place their lives at risk, in order to protect us and our borders, from those evil enough to be plotting war and terrorism. Now that takes absolute guts and pure selflessness to place your own life at risk in order to save others, and protect their way of life. Let's take a moment though, to look at the ordinary everyday common person, specifically those who live their own life in pure selfishness and disregard for others, taking for granted what our war veterans, our service men and women, fought for or are fighting for. We have selfless and brave individuals who are placing their life on the line, in order to protect our way of life and our freedom, so we can enjoy a future blessed with happiness, success, prosperity, and freedom, and yet here are the majority of us that aren't even prepared to make sacrifices of our own, to honor the bravery and commitment of these individuals. I'm talking about the fact so many of us can't even get off our bums and make sacrifices in life, even just to achieve our own goals. These type of sacrifices are in no comparison to the sacrifices committed by those on the frontline, as we are far from placing our life in grave danger.

Time Bandits
Yesterday I talked about some of those more leisurely, yet non-productive, activities we tend to incorporate into our daily routine, ahead of some of the tasks that we really should be prioritizing. It's these activities such as lazing on the couch watching television, or spending time scrolling through social media for some gossip, or going out drinking each weekend with the mates, or sleeping in excessively, or spending lengthy periods on the phone talking to our friends, or maybe just lazing around doing nothing, that I'm specifically referring to. They involve no energy, they are easy, they are satisfying, and they are relaxing, hence why we find them so appealing, enjoyable and attractive. The problem is though, that these sort of activities are time bandits. They are activities that are robbing us of precious and valuable time in which we can be working on creating a far better future for ourselves. Time bandits lead to inefficiency and unproductiveness. I'm the sort of person who has never had the knack for subtly concluding a conversation, when a person waffles on too much, and starts eating into time where I need to get a task done. I've always felt rude and heartless to do so. Many of these type of people perhaps have no one really to talk to in life, or no one who takes the time to listen, or no family, or no friends. They may be lonely or aged, and they appreciate anyone who actually engages in conversation with them. I truly feel for them, hence why I always found it difficult to disengage. The problem with many of these people is they also lack consideration towards those whom they start conversing with, not having the realization and understanding that this individual needs to continue working, or needs to continue to serve others, or needs to be getting some important tasks done. They are classic time bandits.
