Food Experimentation!

So tonight we are going to make a pot roast in the " Slow Cooker." We have not used it yet so it will be interesting. Shelley is preparing the meal and inside the cooker she is putting: pot roast beef, onions, potatoes, beef broth and cream of mushroom soup. It will take 4 hours to cook and we are very excited to see how it turns out. There are many different recipes out there that you can experiment with. Some of them might not turn out exactly how you thought at first, but you will know how to improve them the next time around.

A Challenge!

Things can be difficult, and I know it can be frustrating when you try to accomplish something and you can't the first time you do it. If we could always conquer something on the first try then it wouldn't have any challenge to it and the fun would be taken out of it. If there is something that you want to accomplish and it is difficult, then challenge yourself to keep getting better at it each time you try. Of course there will be times that you want to give up, but what makes us stronger and better at something is overcoming the challenges and pushing ourselves till we get it right. Always believe in your abilities, it might take some time for them to truly be shown, but they are there and you are the one that can make them shine.

Don't Lose Focus!

We all have times in our life when we may want to give up on something we are doing. Different examples such as: sports, school, work, a side project, etc. It is very important that you do not lose your focus on the big picture, which is finishing what you started. Every situation will have a different time frame but the concept is still the same. I know some things in life can be very frustrating and difficult, but if everything was easy then people would not have as much appreciation because it would not be a challenge. Hard work is what makes us stronger and able to stick things out till the end. If you become weak and your focus is no longer with you then it will be that much harder to complete what you have started.
