I'm Glad to Write Again

Topic: My Daily Personal Life, by Felissa M. Garcia

I know I always say that I won't let too much time go in between my posts but sometimes it's just impossible to get the time to write. The last few weeks have been especially difficult because I am working on three really complex divorce cases and they have taken up all of my time and energy. I haven't even exercised in weeks. Yuck. I was feeling really bad about myself last week because I haven't taken time to take care of myself and I've had a little bit of depression. Why do people get depression? What is it anyway? I don't know how to answer those questions but I do know that depression exists. Thankfully I've been feeling much better the last few days and I have been able to get a lot of work done.

I was crushed that LeBron James isn't playing for the NBA Championship. They say Bryant is the best basketball player in the world, but I don't agree. I have no doubt in my mind that LeBron James is the best basketball player in the WHOLE world.

The good things that have continued consistently in my life over the last few months and weeks is that I continue to meditate every morning. That is the one thing that has been my foundation for staying sane during these crazy times.

I have also been spending more time with my kids. That is a really good thing for me. In fact Zoya taught me how to make a dessert that is fattening, but delicious. You get a bar of cream cheese and a bottle of the marshmallow puff, and you mix them together. Then you get strawberries and bananas and dip them in the cream cheese/marshmallow and it's probably the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. You should try it. I'm glad she spent time showing me how to make it. She leaves to Stanford University in September and I know I'm going to really miss her and feel very empty without her. But I have to let her go reach for the stars. She's so smart, beautiful and talented and she has the best opportunities possible for her. When I was her age, I could never have even imagined going to an Ivy League college. I didn't even know anything about going to a local college! Imagine that. It was almost by accident that I ended up going to college. I started college just to take some photography classes and I ended up getting a 4.0 GPA my first semester so I thought, "Hey, I'm o.k. at this so I guess I'll go for another semester." The rest, of course, is history.

It's Friday evening and I'm so bored. I don't go out anywhere and don't really have anything to do that's interesting. But the good thing is that my gorgeous hubby is with me so that's all I need. I hope you have a good weekend! Felissa M. Garcia
