1 more week down....

Well, another week is gone. I passed a written test and 2 more driving tests! Yeah me! It's next week that is going to be tough. I have 2 shooting proficiency tests, a practical exam on arrests and I get to be gassed and pepper sprayed. You know I'm looking forward to that!

This week was tough, but I made it through. It's getting harder and harder to stay positive, but I am trying as best I can.

I know this short but I'm needing a nap. I hope to update at least more time this week.

Jillian,

I've been wondering how you were doing; I'm glad you posted!

Hang in there! Take everything one step at a time, break it into pieces that seem more doable to you. Just like when you're writing, 400 pages seems impossible, but if you think in terms of writing 4 pages a day, that's doable, right? So break the testing and training down to manageable pieces for yourself.

You're pursuing your dream, and that's wonderful! When it gets tough, visualize yourself successfully completing training and living your dream, doing what you've always wanted to do. Sometimes just remembering what the goal is helps.

I'll think positive thoughts for you!

Thanks a lot Patti for the wonderful message. I love hearing from people! I'm trying to stay positive. It is working some of the time. And, I try to only look at the schedule for what is coming up next, not what is coming up next week. So that is helping me to keep things going in small bits rather than the whole overwhelming picture.... although even the stuff from day to day is overwhemling sometimes.

It is great to hear from you! I am planning to try to update at least one more time this week.... hopefully. It just depends on how badly they hurt me in the next few days.
