Come Forward: November

 It's the month on Thankfulness! I am not going to lie, I will be thankful when these projects are over. 

It's not that I haven't enjoyed them, but I haven't really focused on them in the way that I wanted to. The plans that I had haven't been fully done. It's just been a busy year. I think I am done doing more than one project at a time. the last several that I have done were completed, but felt rushed at times. I also have been viewing them more as a burden (at times) rather than and way to have fun, or loosen up, or as a way to do something for me. 

So, next year I will just work on one project at a time. Seeing that I am going to take on some more responsibility, and other monthly fun things, in the coming year. So, focusing on one will be really fun for me, and make it feel like I am more accomplished in doing do. 

Speaking of takin on more responsibility, lets talk about Hidden Figures.

 During a time when everything seems to be separated, the US in united for one thing, the Space Race. NASA is working on Glenn Miller into space. A race that we seem to be that could be lost at any moment. That is until three unlikely hero come along. Three African-American Women, whose names where quietly written down that help take history our of this world. 

I missed this movie when it first came out. I am sorry that I did, now that I have seen the whole thing. I have seen several different clips of this movie online over the last several years. It is a fantastic movie. It well acted, funny, sweet, heart-breaking, witty, and it tell a great story that most people didn't learn during their days in school. 

There is so much injustice that happens in the movie, I love that tiny, and huge, moments of celebration that happen in this movie. This is a time when the Civil Rights movements is at it's peak. It's also at a time when women as a whole were not considered "able" to do what men can do concerning their jobs. So, when moments come in their personal, and professional lives, that they could celebrate, they did. Whether it was a marriage, a child's birthday, or the end of segregated bathrooms, there always a reward or celebration. 

That what I am using to connect this movie to my Motivation for this month. I haven't done much with my writings, and with other projects that I have wanted to work on. However, I have been rewarding myself by not being upset that I have stopped. Sometime motivation come in waves, and honestly, life gets in the way of thing we want to do. Its the busiest time of the year. So, not working on something of often as I have wanted to is not the end of the world. 

I am really proud of myself for coming as far as I have. If you were to ask me at the start of the year where I thought I would me, I would not have said anywhere near as far as I have gotten. So, I am not going to worry about what needs to happen right now. I will celebrate where I am at currently, and when the crazy busy is over, I will get back to it.
