i want to be the one who makes that difference in a person's life...

I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did,

but people will never forget how you made them feel.

a new perspective...

I believe in cultivating opposite, but complementary views of life, and I believe in meeting life's challenges with contradictory strategies. I believe in reckoning with the ultimate meaninglessness of our existence, even as we fall in love with the miracle of being alive. I believe in working passionately to make our lives count while never losing sight of our insignificance. I believe in caring deeply and being beyond caring. It is by encompassing these opposites, by being involved and vulnerable, but simultaneously transcendent and detached, that our lives are graced by resilience and joy. - Fritz Williams

thought for the day...

'A shared vision is not an idea...it is rather, a force in people's hearts...at its simplest level, a shared vision is the answer to the question 'What do we want to create?'

back on track

Hi everyone, it's me Sara-I know many of you will remember me as ScrapHappie. I have had quite the few changes in my life and have decided to take another route to my blogging experience where I will be sharing a bit more than just Scrapbooking.

I recently was accepted into a CNA Program through our local hospital and am thrilled to announce that I will be graduating on September 9th! This Fall I will begin my journey to becoming a Nurse and I wanted to share my experiences-from my fantastical beautiful days, to my exhausted, ugly and long days.

How did I come up with the name "Chronicles of Sarita"? Well, I wanted something a little different for journaling-I tried the whole writing thing and not only is it time consuming, i'm a stickler for the way I write and am always ripping out pages until I get it right-so I figured a blog would be the best way AND Sarita is what my family calls me-it's pretty much Sara in "our" Spanish lol.

I'm still under construction and am having a hard time falling asleep after a 15.5 hour work/school day so i'm off to blog hop and create my new followers list.

I hope you will jump on board and join my ride :)

Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!
