On Tuesday, April 11th, I went to the Pharo Park with my son to enjoy such a beautiful spring day. The sun is shining bright on this gorgeous 75 degree day. It is approximately 1:36 PM as I am sitting on the park bench enjoying my son run around and play on the slides. I decided to sit on the park bench located right next to the playground my son, Carter, was playing on. Around me was a baseball field, basketball court, tennis court, and tons of trees. I sat on the park bench thinking to myself how truthfully blessed and thankful I was that god blessed me with my son. Carter is my pride and joy. He is my motivation and true reason in life. As I was sitting on the bench watching him run around with a huge smile on his face, my heart just melted. I am motivated and determined to keep pushing forward no matter what life my throw my way. I have learned that in just a short 20 minutes at the park could bring so many thoughts and emotions running through my head. It made me realize how grateful I really am.

On Friday, April 14th, I decided to take an spontanous adventure alone to Monocracy Park because I did not have my son for the night. It was 5:34 PM when I parked my car is a small parking lot across from the park. It was a beautiful 67 degree spring night. Surrounding me was a bunch of nature. Including trees, dirt, grass, bugs, water, benches, cars driving past, as well as others walking through the park on such a beautiful night. As I sat on the bench near the water and a huge tree, I was thinking about how grateful of a life I have with never ending support from my loved ones. not only was I thinking about that but also about where I want to be in life and how I need to get there. I want my son to have the life that he deserves. I have learned how relaxing and rewarding it is to take 20 minutes out of my day to just relax in a quite place and think. Think about anything and everything that comes to my mind. I felt like I was free from everything and anyone.Personal account: (4/16/17):
I have learned a lot from our two field journals. Both of my journals reflect each other in similar ways. I have learned that taking 20 minutes out of my day and just relaxing could bring so much to my mind. Both of my journals reflect my son, Carter, in different factors. My son is my whole world, my motivation, and my determination. I worry about him growing up in this crazy world and want nothing but the absolute best for him at all times. I want to provide him everything he needs in life. I am a very hard worker and strive for what I want. In my life I have had many personal and family matters thrown my way. Some I was able to handle and some were completely destroying me inside. No matter what I know I can get though them with my son by my side. I have learned how grateful I am of the wonderful life I was given and I will not let anything get in my way of achieving what I want to. All in all, I never thought siting out in nature could be so relaxing and rewarding. I am going to do this more often because it really changed my thought process.
