We recently drove up to Sandusky for a weekend away with our family. Our initial plans changed so we decided to stay at Castaway Bay for the night before joining our extended family on Saturday. Castaway Bay   is Cedar Point's indoor waterpark resort. It features hotel rooms and suites, an attached waterpark, arcade, fitness center, a craft and child activity center, three restaurants, and shops. They also offer an adjacent marina for rent. We drove up on a Friday and arrived around 2pm. Pulling into the resort we figured we would have no problems getting into our room early as the place was pretty empty. Once we got inside our hunch was correct and we were able to check-in early. I booked the standard Starfish room which features two double beds and sleeps four. The room also included a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and TV with cable. The room itself was nice and decorated in a very beachy way lot of light blues and pictures of beaches. The one complaint I ha...

We wish for more patience – what does that mean?  An ability to feel content waiting?  Less stress when things don’t go your way?  What does being patient mean to you? I think that wishing for patience means just having more peaceful moments in your day-to-day life. We all have to wait at certain times so I think the ability to feel content and stress less is what wishing for patience truly means. I think that just being able to realize that you can't control everything and taking the time to enjoy every moment of life is what patience's is all about. Are you ever impatient because you are trying to control too many people, events or situations in your life?  What can you let go of in order to be more patient? I am definitely impatient because I am trying to control people, events, or situations in my life. I am your typically Type-A personality that needs to control everything in my life. I like things done a certa...

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe new year. I've been so busy the last few days and haven't had a moment to sit down to blog. With the New Year there is always a lot of talk about resolutions. I don't make them and I don't plan to now. I think it's a waste since most of the resolutions don't last for longer than a month. I know that's how it used to be for me. I use to make vows to work out more, eat better, do better at school, etc. and I found that it only lasted for a month maybe two at most. Now I just resolve to do better year round. The whole eating better and working out resolutions is pointless unless you are ready and willingly to make a lifestyle change. I think the idea of wanting to do these things is great, but you shouldn't wait until the New Year to do them. I also think that if you stop you should just start again and not wait until next year to try again. I fall off the horse frequently through the year and have found that I...
