So, here are the things that surround me on a daily basis.
Classy ladies wear pearls – not sweats. I make it a point to dress up every day because I strongly believe in presenting yourself well. I enjoy giving off the impression that I actually care.
After getting home from class, I check the mailbox for dusty letters from Afghanistan. “The world needs more people like you,” the Corporal recently wrote. It was a relief that my efforts actually are helping out forward-deployed military members.
It’ll be a good day when I finish the crossword puzzle in 10 minutes. I enjoy working out my brain before I hit my mundane tasks.
Decisions, decisions. I’m infamous for my obsession with high heels. My trademark is probably the “click, click,” of my heels as I walk down the hallway to class.
A card came with a bouquet of flowers on a random day. “Today is the anniversary of losing the rest of my unit – since I’m still here to enjoy life, I’m want you to have something to enjoy. -Drew”. I dried them and they serve as a reminder that things can always be worse.
“Knit two, purl two.” I fidget excessively, so I’ve found that knitting helps me make a stupid habit more productive.
Light reading. In down time, I like to follow military operations and veteran issues. While some people may see this as “work,” I see this as relaxing and fulfilling.
. . . but I also do indulge in crappy women’s magazines. It’s nice to be mindless sometimes.
Pinterest projects and patriotism line my walls. The poster is a reminder that war eventually ends, which I’m looking forward to. I am heavily involved in veteran issues and causes.
