The latest installment of Change of Shift is up over at The Makings of a Nurse.
I don’t think I need to tell you about all the great submissions. Be sure to check out the latest edition of our beloved blog carnival.
I struck out and did not submit anything this time around. 
As always a BIG THANK YOU to Kim over at Emergiblog for getting the CoS party started, and keeping the fire going!
Carpe Diem

I included these in my workout today. I must say these are wicked and brutal when you incorporate them as an interval workout.
I’m going to be hurting tomorrow.
Gewd times. Gewd stuff.

If you’ve been paying attention or are following me around the social media circles- you probably heard. I graduated. I conferred my Bachelors of Science in Nursing last night. It’s my second Baccalaureate degree in my life.
The guess speaker at my ceremony talked about the decisions you make in life. He discussed your essence and he focused on one’s character. He also highlighted one of my most favorite concepts that is near and dear to my heart and my life condition.
Attitude.
Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.
It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.
I never said anything in life was easy. Hell it’s damn hard. We always tend to focus on the bad. Focus on it in the moment it happens, focus on it after the moment and focus on it even as a past event. Heck, we even focus on the bad to spoil a possible good future event.
It doesn’t have to be.
Focus on what’s good in your life. Focus on what you love about you and your world. Focus on your ‘HAVE’s, not your ‘HAVE NOT’s.
I’ve blogged and talked about this awesome individual before. Nick Vujicic, the man with no arms and no legs – no worries. He is a motivational speaker for all walks of life. He shares his travels and challenges he has met with having no arms and no legs. His attitude is what separates him from the rest.
His unconditional, unwavering shining smile and positive presence still moves me every time I see a new video of him.
He makes my worries and my ‘problems’ seem so miniscule and trivial compared to his life. Instead of being a victim of a circumstance be championed a full and profound life.
So. How’s your attitude today?

Your worst days and weakest moments are what determine success or failure in the battle against the bulge and your efforts to have a healthier you.
Say what?
We all have them. Good days (or great days) and those horrible moments of weakness and lack of motivation. The good days are easy. You’re feeling healthy. You have all the energy you need to take on the day and make those difficult decisions. You make the healthy choices. You exercise or participate in your chosen activity. You get the proper amount of sleep. A ‘no-guilt’ and successful kind of day.
Yeah, that was the easy part.

My wife rocks! This is what I woke up to on our front lawn. I guess this cool service ‘plants’ your gift in the early wee-hours of the morning. Even though it’s raining – it still looks awesome.
I walk across the stage tonight to make it official. I still feel like I should be ‘doing’ some sort of school project. Heh heh.
My plans are in the works for my next ‘phase’ of my education. I’m nervous. I’ll keep you posted.
