I spend my 40th birthday at a lakehouse in Kentucky. MY two best friends from college were there, along with their families. Throughout the course of the weekend, our children became much closer.
Output: It was a fantastic stay. We ate s'mores by the fire and hung out by the dock during the day. It was so wonderful to catch up with my old friends. Just being carefree and we felt like we were in our 20s again just for the weekend. We all thought it would be incredible if our children would later in life go on to the same college and carry on this cycle. On our last night there, we decided to bury a time capsule to dig up in 10 years. Our children also placed items in the capsule and they made their own pact to stay in touch. Even before we left, they were trading email addresses, phone numbers, and friending each other on facebook. It was all surreal. I wouldn't change a thing. On our way home back to reality Sunday evening, my husband commented on how much he enjoyed meeting everyone's families. He taught the kids how to fish and bait hooks with worms. I was so happy we did this. I couldn't imagine a better setting for my 40th birthday. It is something I hope we do every year.
A Type 1 Diabetic prepares to sit down and eat dinner on a typical Saturday afternoon. However, the Type 1 Diabetic unexpectedly experiences extremely low blood sugar which causes problems.
Output: I felt myself begin to get light headed. I knew this telltale sign immediately. My blood sugar was low. I knew I had to get something in me before it got worse because I could black out. The meal I had in front of me unfortunately was not high enough on sugar to compensate for this. I had to run to the kitchen to see what I could find. Unfortunately, we had no juice in the house at all that I could drink. I went looking for cookies in the cabinets but once again I could not find any. I was starting to panic at this point. There was no one else in the house that could help me if I blacked out. I could seriously die. I finally remembered that I would occasionally keep a candy bar in my bag just for such an occasion. Rushing to the bedroom, I hoped against hope that I had not eaten it already and it was still there. Luckily, it was. I quickly scarfed down the chocolate bar, savoring every bite as best I could. I waited nervously for it to take a hold in my body. I could feel heart rate slowing down. My head began to clear shortly thereafter. I knew I was out of the woods now but I would have to be more careful in the future.
My son graduated high school. He had a party afterwards. A lot of family came from far away. His biological father didn't show up. His friends and family brought presents.
Output: My son's father and I never got along after a while. The honeymoon phase wore off quickly. We tried to be civil for our son but these things don't always work. My son was about to graduate high school, and we told him about the party afterwards. He never said he was going, so we didn't have anything to expect. At the party after his graduation, everyone came near and far. It was a beautiful spread of gifts and love. My son's friends and family brought presents. Except for maybe the one present he wanted. The father never showed up. I never got a reason. But, I wasn't surprised. It's best just to have low expectations. That way, if things work out it's a surprise. I think my boy is doing just fine.
the emotional transition for mothers and the excitement for the milestone transition from toddler to grade schooler
Output: Monday my daughter started “Big Girl School”!!! She has official entered Kindergarten! Being in school isn’t new to her though. She has been in Pre-K for a year so she is use to getting up, putting on a uniform and even being around the big kids. She was very excited to start Kindergarten. i however am not ready for her to be so ready. She went to bed early at 7PM and the lights went off! I woke her up to our traditional “Wake Up Song”. I’ve been singer her this song since she was a baby, this stirs up the emotions knowing she is now a "big kid" Sometimes she sings along…sometimes she pulls the covers over her head. . I also got up early to cook breakfast. Our daily breakfast consists of egg whites, turkey bacon and fruit. Every once in a while I will let her eat her favorite cereal but we keep it healthy! She only ate a little bit. I recon she was nervous. So we grabbed her sparkly book bag, lunch box that looks like a purse and her huge shopping bag of school supplies and headed to school. I am very blessed that her school is only 5 minutes from our home. We got there in no time and I walked her inside. The teachers had the kids sectioned off in the cafeteria by grade. I went to give her a kiss before she sat down and she covered her face!!! Later she told me that other kids would make fun of her. BUT ITS THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!! Looks like my baby girl is already grown!!!
The 15 years old birthday celebration of my niece was on May, but initially i was not expecting to be there. I made several arrange to make possible to me be there with her, and be part of her celebration.
Output: On may 21 of this year (2019), my very first niece had his 15 years old birthday celebration. Since she was a little baby i was waiting for this moment, because she has a personality that makes me feel like I have my sister back when she was young. That is regarding because for several reasons my sister is not longer along with us, and she is like the memory we have about my sister. Now why that date was so important for me? Well, I am no exactly in my home country. I am living abroad because of my career, but for that date I wanted to jump from my place to her place, just because i cannot miss that once in a life event for my niece. I overpay a flight ticket, i layover for about 12 hours ins another country, i got event sick because of the meal, but you know what?, i don't regret at all. At the end of the day i saw her face, i saw how happy she was in her party celebration, and also she was happy to see me there. I could dance with my little niece, which is such my little baby as well , and i will remember that for the rest of my life. I said to her that when i was in the airplane, i saw her mother in the sky, she told me to carry her, and said i love you in behave of her. My niece was so happy, she hug me and i whisper: your mother is so proud of you honey. I am pretty sure my sister was also dancing in the heaven. The night was too short, but the memories are infinites, because each second was valuable. I have to travel back the next day, without anything in my bags, but my heart full of love. Family is the treasure that will always makes your life valuable.
A life of failure at all I tried culminated in a early summer day in the local recreational baseball league. We won the local title and felt accomplished. Failure turned into success for once.
Output: All my life I lost at everything that I tried. It became so common for me, that I never even expected to win. This never discouraged me from trying however, in fact, if anything, it took the pressure off of attempting things for me, because I felt like I already knew the outcome. So, when I saw the advertisement for a local recreational baseball league, I thought, why not? I showed up assuming I wouldn't get chosen for the team anyway, seeing as how I have on real athletic abilities, but to my surprise, everyone else on the team was just as bad as I was! I made the team and found that I really connected with all the other players. We all seemed to have similar pasts. We were all used to being losers. None of us expected to make the team, and we all had no illusions of winning anything. It was just for fun. Having met such a like minded group was unusual and exciting for all of us. Before we knew it, we were meeting up to practice as much as we could, just because we enjoyed the company of one another. We became a family. We understood each other. When we played we almost became one person. It was quite amazing. We played team after team, just enjoying the experience, and when we would win time and time again, we would kind of just laugh it off as a fluke, or we would assume the other team had no experience. But, before we knew it, we were in the final game, playing for the title. We all expected that this would surely be where our luck ran out, but it was not. We won. A group of failures all came together and won a championship together. That summer was one to remember. Sometimes all it takes to win, is having some fun.
My long backed dog was suddenly paralyzed one morning. My horrible vet said to just kill him. But, he's almost completely fine now.
Output: I have a dackel/wiener-dog. I woke up to him paralyzed a month ago (June). I took him to the vet, as one does, and she was just "Put him down. That's not a good life. He'll never get better." since I could not afford the 10k for surgery. Went home, cried about it, thought about it, looked up paralyzed dog forums all night long. It was a pretty bad night. I just felt so goddamn hopeless about everything. The paralysis was very sudden. The night before, he was limping just a little bit when I brought him in after the walk. I thought that he'd stepped on something. The day of, other than not being able to move his back legs, he was happy and fine. Got him on steroids, did crate-rest, did laser treatments. Told "This won't make a difference. He'll get urine scald, he's suffering." My vet really knows how to depress the hell out of me, I might say. Purchased bed wetting pads, barrier spray, he was happy to be home and I was just worried about the future. And, he got better. He's almost completely fine now, no thanks to my shitty vet.
Parent goes to backyard cookout during holidays. Parent tasked with watching a child, instead of all of them at once, while drinking a beer, and loses him/herself in the moment. Children too, enjoyed the backyard cookout.
Output: I went to a holiday celebration with a backdoor cookout. It was memorable in the sense that it was the first planned outing with my children, who are still toddlers. It's been difficult as a homemaker with my toddlers, especially during the first couple of years. I feel like I sacrificed a lot to personally raise them, and sometimes I still feel ambivalent about my decision to have a family. So to say this was personally memorable, at least to me, might be a bit of an understatement. The part about the holiday party that stood out the most was just sitting in their backyard and drinking a beer straight from the bottle with the sun shining on my face. I was tasked with watching one of my toddlers while my spouse took care of the others. It felt easier with one kid. I think the work multiplies significantly with more children, and I can understand why most parents these days want to stick to one child. Anyway, that moment in the backyard felt relaxing, like something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It was equal parts freedom, and for a moment, it felt like I didn't have any kids at all. I mean, I had one that I was watching at that time, but that fleeting moment felt like a tasty raindrop when you're stranded in a barren hot desert wasteland. My children thoroughly enjoyed the event, despite not really eating the great food. They got to play around with other children that were also there, and they got to see what an actual party with adults seems like. I personally enjoyed it, and wish for more events like that in the future.
My wife and I took an impromptu trip to one of our favorite places. We didn't expect much out of it, but it became one of my favorite memories of all time.
Output: My wife and I went on a small, last minute vacation to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It was in April of this year. It was a very memorable trip for me. I love spending time with my wife, and when we can get away at the last minute that just makes it that much more special. Gatlinburg is where we spent our honeymoon, and it has special significance to us. This time was special because we just bonded so much more than we usually do. We got to do more things because the weather was warmer this time around. We got to stay close to downtown, so we took a lot of walks together to a lot of different places. The most memorable part was sitting on a balcony at a restaurant overlooking the main road that goes through town. We spent hours there just talking and people watching. I still think about that afternoon and how much fun we had together just being together and not really doing anything at all. Besides that day, we had a couple great meals at some neat places. We also went to try a new place out that was really bad, and yet we still made the most of it. Overall, that trip was one of my most favorite times of my life. It was because I spent it with my favorite person I've ever met. We still talk about how we can't wait to go back, but I don't think any trip will compare to that one.
My close family all got together for a visit and had a great time. All of the little kids were there and we even saw a deer.
Output: I went to visit family for vacation at my sister's house. It was the first time in years that we had all gathered together and some of the younger children had never met before. It was a great time watching them all play together and get along. I helped with a lot of the cooking as I like that and am good at it. It was fun to go out in the woods with the kids and show them the river and we saw a deer. I played baseball with a few of the nephews. We went out to eat at a great restaraunt and had a great time. It was nice to catch up with my siblings and hang out like we used to. We had not all been together for a long time and we reminisced. It was a bit cold but did not snow and we built a fire outside one night and maybe drank a bit much. My parents enjoyed seeing all of the kids running around. It was a great time with my family and one we will repeat this year. We discussed renting a nice lake house or something a bit closer to everybody next time. It is hard to meet up often because we are all scattered out over the country. It was a good reminder of how lucky I am to have such a good family. I am looking forward to next time.
My sister needed me to purchase a gift for her husband on her behalf and gave me $800. I had a friend come over the same day, and they stole the money from me. I was left with having to pay for the gift with my own money.
Output: About two months ago, my sister asked me to purchase some tickets to a concert for her husband and gave me $800 to buy them for her. She asked me to do so on her behalf, because it was a surprise gift for their anniversary, and she did not want him to know that she was doing it. The afternoon that she gave me the money, I went home and put it in my desk drawer, with intentions of depositing it in my bank the following day so that I could make the purchase. Later that evening, I had a friend come over who was having some problems with her boyfriend. We talked to each other and caught up and she asked if she could use my computer, which I of course said yes. I was on the phone with my husband who was out of town and in a different room while she was on the computer. Shortly thereafter, she suddenly had to leave and her reason behind it was unclear and sounded suspicious, but knowing her I summed it up to she was lying about what she was really going to do and I didn't really care too much. The next day I was getting ready to leave to go to the bank and I opened up my desk drawer and the money was gone! I checked my wallet and purse to see if for some reason I had put it in there, although I know for a fact that I never moved it. I immediately knew that she had stolen the money from me, and her wishy-washy excuse for leaving now made perfect sense. I was furious. I called her immediately and she did not answer. I called her 3 more times and she still did not answer. So I sent her a text message and pretended like everything was ok so that she would call me back. She called me back and I asked her if she took the money. She claimed to not know what I was talking about and tried to blame it on my kids (who were all asleep when she was there) and I could sense that she was lying yet again. There was not much that I could do at this point but to write her off as a friend and know that she could not be trusted. This was extra hurtful to me because I now had to come up with $800 of my own money to pay for the tickets since I was the person trusted to do this. I struggle financially as it is, so $800 is a lot of money to me.
My family took a beach vacation recently with three small children. It was tiring but a great experience all in all, especially our trip to a natural spring.
Output: A week ago my family and I went on a really fun vacation. We went to the beach! We took our 3 children with us, even though they are small they quite enjoyed the beach. They mostly stayed in the sand playing with toys, but they really liked it, you hear sometimes that kids don't like sands but they loved it. We're exhausted but it was worth it, we need a vacation from the vacation now. The highlights have to be the natural spring where the kids swam a lot and we canoed a bit. We packed lunched for that one. Because the kids wouldn't have lasted a whole day otherwise. We actually fell from our canoes which was a bit embarrassing but the water was great. We're back home now. It was a great trip which we'll remember for a while. I hope the kids remember it, but we surely did. I'm not sure when we'll have the chance to go on another one of those. So we need to enjoy them while we have. Thanks for reading.
Some time ago, I was given a promotion and a raise at my job. I haven't been at the job for a long time so this is significant.
Output: A few months ago, I was given a promotion and a raise at my job. This is a very important milestone for me because I am still relatively young and haven't been at my current employer for very long. However, my bosses felt that it was time to give me more responsibility and more money for the work that I have done for them so far. More importantly, because I am still young, it shows that I am gaining a growing reputation in my field. I work in a relatively large area in terms of population, but my field isn't very big. Most people who work in the field know one another and word spreads quickly. In the time I've with my current employer, I've already met many of my counterparts at other organizations. I've also met many of the owners and supervisors of other organizations in the field. Getting a promotion and more recognition so quickly will allow me to have more options if I decide to leave my job. Additionally, it made me feel good that I was able to impress my bosses. Many young employees don't get the opportunity that I've gotten so far so it was important that I made a good impression. I've found that people appreciate my work ethic and my hard work, which are two things that are important to me. I've come along way since college and it wasn't the easiest road, so to be working in and excelling in my field is an important sign of who I am as a professional. I intend to take this on and continue making my bosses pleased with the decision to hire me in the coming months. I also intend to see if it has impressed people outside of my organization for other potential opportunities.
My father passed away. A week later, we had his memorial service and was a difficult time for my family.
Output: Today my family gathered in a small town. It has been years since we have all been in the same place at the same time. Usually seeing long lost relatives is a joyous occasion for most families. We aren't most families. Usually, we don't all get along. Today wasn't usual. Today we gathered to pay our respect to one of the most complicated men most of us have ever known. Today, we all supported each other and consoled one another in the name of my Dad. My dad passed away a week ago and today was his memorial. This has been a difficult week. Trying to grasp the fact that he is gone has been tough, but today was the worst. We had an open casket. He looked so strange, it was him and yet not him I watched as some of my family broke down into tears, some quietly. Others held it in. I felt I had to be strong for my own little family. My children will never again get to see their grandpa. I will never again get to see my dad, yet as a dad, I couldn't let me kids watch me break down completely. After today, all that will be left him is his belongings and his ashes.
I bought a new house I like very much. It makes me feel safe. I love working on it and improving the way it looks.
Output: One memorable event that happened in my life lately was buying a house. It feels safe to own your own place. You can decorate it the way you want it. You can live there as long as you like. You can plant whatever you like in the yard. The bank procedures were easy. People were very kind and helpful. The previous owner was very cooperative. All in all it was an easy process. I also like my neighbors. The pool is nice too. It takes a bit of work to keep it clean but it's worth it. I find a lot of joy taking care of my new place. Can't wait to have people over. Love the fireplace too. It is very relaxing in the winter.
I met a woman I knew in high school on social media and we got together. We will be together for a long time and I find it a blessing.
Output: I am mostly a private person so it goes without saying I'm lonely sometimes. Although, I am self-reliant and self-sufficient. Also I don't put much thought to the future. Well, I recently met up with a woman I went to high school with. I'm 37, so it was quite a while ago when we knew each other. We met up and started talking again through Facebook. We soon decided to get together in person and see what happens. We hit it off immediately and decided to start dating exclusively. I can't imagine not having her around now and she changes my life for the better in every way! I have re-enrolled in college and am striving to better myself across all aspects. She makes me want to be a better man and settle down and maybe even start a family. This is a huge step for me. Time will tell. Our future is ahead of us! There really is no substitute for love.
Going to my niece's birthday party, where we danced, played games, ate cake and had a grand ole time. We also play with barbies and she has trouble blowing out some trick candles.
Output: I went to mary's birthday party today. I can't believe my niece is already 4. I can still remember the day she was born. She was like this tiny bundle of joy. And she just turned four! We had a blast at the party. We danced all night. I knew mary loved barbies. So i bought her a barbie as a gift. We played with it at the party. I was so glad to see that she loved it. Everyone burst into laughter as mary tried hard to blow the candles. She had to try thrice. But she did it. So proud of her and what she is growing into.. I can't wait to see her again. I want to buy her a whole bunch of dolls. I am going to pay her a visit very soon. I want to see that joy on her face.
I wrote about how I lost everything in my life and wondered around lost and hopeless for years. Just when I was ready to give up, life showed me just how quickly things can turn around and, thankfully, for the good this time! Never give up!
Output: Dear Diary,After going through the longest 4 years of my life and constantly feeling like it was never going to get any better, things are finally starting to look up! Since I lost my home, the best paying job I have ever had, all of my material items, my family, several friends, my kids temporarily and any thing else I could lose, I found I was starting to lose my self-confidence, my faith and even myself. I lost everything I cared about, was mentally and physically abused, heart-broken, homeless, hungry and lost. This continued on for years with little to no change or progress, no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Feeling the most lonely, sad. tired and hopeless I have ever felt in life, I started to give up. About a month ago, however, I was shown just how fast life can turn around. I woke up one day that was looking to be just as empty and hopeless as every other day, oh how life is full of surprises! I was randomly blessed with a home after being homeless for years. Someone payed to first few months bills for me, got me moved in and helped me see a light at the end of the tunnel. My kids will be back home with me soon and I am starting to find myself again! Never give up! It's never too late! And do not ever forget that life can change in a blink of an eye. Keep pushing!
One day, I saw a man sitting alone crying on the side of the street. He was homeless and I had found out that he was deathly ill. I sat beside him and talk to him and tried to make him feel better.
Output: It was really cold today, and it just felt like one of those days when you just seem low key and low energy. I knew I would have to go to work but I wanted to stay at home and drink hot chocolate while watching Netflix. It was nearly 7:30 and I decided to get on my was to work. I had bundled up so that I knew I would be warm enough. I decided to make the best of the weather and make the brisk walk to work that day. It was not to far into my walk when I finally hit the main street I came across a man that I had seen before but I had never really talked to. He was a homeless guy that I would see rummaging every now and then in the garbage. On this day, he happened to be in my path and I just happened to ask him if he was okay. I guess he must have felt something because he immediately began to cry and pour out his heart about his condition. I could feel he needed someone so I sat and listened to him for a while. I could tell it really helped him to get through that moment. It was really fulfilling for me too. I was able to help someone that really needed me. I wanted to tell him that he could come talk to me anytime, but he ran off too fast. It was nevertheless memorable to me.
My friends and I played in a golf tournament earlier this summer for a cancer support foundation. It was the first time we played in this tournament since the death of my friends fathers from cancer. It was a very emotional experience.
Output: My friend and I grew up together and we spent a lot of time with each other's family. His dad passed away a few months ago from cancer and it was tough on everyone. We always played golf with his dad after school since we were both on the team. His dad was a mentor to myself and someone I looked up to. I never thought we would be playing in a golf tournament together which supports the cancer foundation. We arrived early and bought a memory bag which they set on one of the greens in memory of a loved one. We were team number 8 so we had to wait for the others to start golfing first. We finished 18 holes of golf in a few hours and then met back at the shelter to see the results board. We finished third which was alright with me. It was emotional when we had to receive our award because he gave a short speech about his father. Then we headed over to the local pub and had a few beers to wind down. It was a special moment in my life. My friend appreciated my support and I was more than happy to lend a hand. Next year we plan of getting there early so we can be the first to tee off. I shouldn't complain but my legs did hurt the next day from so much standing.
My mother and I reconciled after a long estrangement. She finally apologized for years of emotional abuse. Now we continue to rebuild our relationship.
Output: I reconciled with my mother after being estranged for years. This was at the encouragement of my therapist. I confronted my mother about her past emotional abuse of me, which caused much childhood trauma. She not only acknowledged the abuse for the first time, but she also apologized, and this was very uncharacteristic of her. We spent many hours crying and talking about the past, as well as the future. We learned new things about each other. For the first time, I felt like my mother understood me. I finally felt validated. I felt heard and yes, loved. For years, she had bullied me, denied my feelings and berated me when I tried to express how I felt about her and her behavior. After talking, I realize that she was covering up her own insecurities. Perhaps she was abused herself. She seems guarded about her own childhood. It in no way excuses her behavior. But it makes me see her as more human. I believe she has changed with age and now we are continuing to rebuild our relationship.
We traveled to my hometown, where I got to see my family for the 1st time in a while. My entire family was able to meet my son for the 1st time and my husband was also able to meet some family members he had not previously met.
Output: A few months ago, we took a vacation back to my home with my son. It was scary because it was my son's 1st time flying and I was pretty stressed out about it. It was the 1st time I had been back home in years, and the 1st time for most of my family to meet my son, who was one and a half at the time.  The flights went better than expected and we eventually landed, rented a car, got through customs and drove to visit family. We spent a lot of time with my mother, who had recently moved into an apartment and was living on her own for the 1st time in her life. My father passed away 3 years ago and previously she had been living with my younger sister. But she decided everyone needed their own space and moved out.  We got to see all my cousins and aunts and uncles, and my son got to meet his cousins for the 1st time. My husband also got to meet many of my family members he had never met before too. We had time to see my best friend in the world, who I do not get to see enough. We visited my old childhood home to see how it looked, drove past my high school and grade school and toured around all the places that had meaning to me growing up. My mother was so happy to spend time with her grandson. Of course she spoiled him with toys and presents. To be able to share this with my son and my husband was pretty amazing. We live so far from where I am from it was really great to be back with them.
The experience we had on this tour was something we had not had before. The casinos and the night life in Vegas was surreal.
Output: About four months ago, my partner and I went on a vacation to Las Vegas. The starting was not good as our flight to Vegas was delayed by four hours. Also, it was raining continuously during the takeoff. After initial hiccups, we were very pleased to land at Las Vegas airport safely. It took a while to locate our transport to our hotel. The driver messed up our destination a couple times but finally reached our hotel. As it was too late, we took rest that night. The next four days we had a blast. On the first day, we walked all over the downtown and checked out some interesting places. The next day we took a bus tour, which covered not only the downtown areas but also the outskirts and other famous places. On the third day, we went to various places and buildings that we had marked from the previous day. The designs of various hotels are just amazing. Most of them have high-end shops. One arts shop we went in had artworks priced at least $10,000. The other interesting experience was to witness casinos in all the hotels we visited. We played lightly in some of them and in fact, won a little money. Also, other memorable encounters were the dancing water waves that synchronized with music at Bellagio and the volcanic eruptions at Mirage.
After only talking for 2 days after meeting online, I met a guy for dinner. We went to a great italian restaurant and had a wonderful time, and I quickly realized what a great guy he was.
Output: After find him on a dating app, we started to talk quickly. Even on the phone, which I normally hate. We agreed to go out for dinner, already 2 days after starting to talk. He wanted to show me his house, so I drove to his place. After talking for a bit, I drove us to the restaurant. We had a lovely italian dinner in a nice setting. We shared a bottle of wine. There was a piano player which I enjoyed. When we got back to his house, he asked if I wanted to come in. I was a little hesitant, but agreed as I didn't want the night to end yet. We started to watch a movie, and he fell asleep. We cuddled for a while, but I decided to leave as I didn't want him to want to hook up with me. Later on he told me that he never expected to hook up with me that night. I was really impressed with how the date went. He was a great guy and we met again 2 days later.
When my mother passed away my sister and I made the arrangements for her funeral. The funeral director was very difficult to work with but in the end everything worked out. It was a nice service.
Output: it has been one check of a day, today was mom's funeral. me and my sister were in charge of everything about her funeral. I had been worried how it was going to turn out because the funeral director was not the most enjoyable person to interact with. for a little bit it seemed like it was not going to be a good service like we wanted to have for her. it seemed like he was being difficult to spite me and my sister, it was like everything we wanted he had some kind of disagreement with it. finally though we all came to a agreement on the funeral. it was a beautiful service, all of the family and friends showed up right on time. the service ran smoothly. I never knew that it would take so much to make a funeral service to go perfect. I always thought it all just pretty much just went how you wanted it to go. I think my mom would have loved to see just how well we did. all in all the service was beautiful, it was a sad day but at the same time a great day because we had a great service and everything ran smoothly and was in order. I miss my mom but I know she is in heaven happy. I hope that she loved the service. my father was pleased with the service also. me and my sister did a pretty good job handling everything.
We had a family reunion. My brother offended the waiter, unintentionally. It was only a moment but it sticks in my mind because of the nature of the offense. It was just tone, and nothing else.
Output: I went to a nearby city to meet up with family members for a very memorable family reunion. There were about 12 of us in all. We went out to dinner at a very nice Chinese restaurant. My brother, who is a math professor, is very precise in his language. He requires precision from everyone around him. He started asking a lot of questions about the food options. The waiter became offended, even though there was nothing offensive about the questions. But the waiter didn't like my brother's tone of voice. At one point he stepped back and said "I don't need to be talked to like that." It was kind of sad. I realized that my brother has no idea how he comes off when he's in professorial mode. My brother ended up getting something he didn't really love, because he felt bad about what happened, and had decided to stop asking questions. In the end, the food was good, the company was good, the moment was forgotten, and the waiter got a pretty nice tip. And it was good to see my brother. We had an excellent rest of the reunion. I'm probably the only one who still recalls the moment.
Waking up on 48th birthday morning hungover sent me on a path of discovery. I decided to go on the wagon and give up alcohol for 30 days.
Output: Waking up on my 48th birthday morning with the usual hangover inspired the last hangover for the next 30 days. I woke realizing I needed a change, a new direction in life. Going sober for 30 days seemed like an easy undertaking, at least at first. Let the journey begin! Day 1 was inspiring, I visualized my future self as a sober successful and highly functioning human. Big announcements were made to all of my friends and family about this new undertaking, the new sober me. Day 2 - 5, this is easy being sober and slightly more functional. Motivation to work out kicked in around Day 6, which lasted until about Day 9. Day 10 - 15, I yearned for this new and improved sleep I was promised so early on in my quest for sobriety and it finally came. The deepest soundest sleep I have had in years, it felt amazing to wake up so tired because you slept so hard - I got this! Day 16 - 20, still sleeping and I guess I am a better functioning human. Still hate my job and only slightly more motivation to work out. Day 21, an invite to join friends at a bar - gulp! Could the new sober day me complete this test successfully? Yes, I did it! I went to a bar and woke up the next day feeling great - no hangover to plague me. Day 22 - 26, sleep is great, sleep is good but what about the higher functioning me? Have all of the years of almost daily drinking dulled my ability to be a higher functioning successful person? I only have 4 more days to figure this out, maybe it all clicks on day 30? The final 4 days were spent recapping this journey until it arrived, the big 3-0. I woke up that morning feeling nothing new or different, I am still the same me.
I returned to school after years of not being in it for a while. Then after all the hardwork I graduated
Output: Three months ago, I returned to school after not being there for a while. I studied real hard at the college. I met some new friends. We always went partying on the weekend. I always got blasted and puke a lot of the times. It was worth it. I studied to become an engineer. It was tough. The material was very challenging. I had a hard time getting the instructions right for the problems. I studied hard and I graduated. I had a fun time at the graduation. There were many people in the crowd. I waved to all of them. I threw my cap in the air and got my diploma. I hope to get a good job in the coming months.
there was a full time opening at my position a few months back. i applied for it along with several others. after a grueling process, i was granted the promotion.
Output: i have been working at my job for over 3 years now. 5 months ago there was an opening for a full time position doing what i was doing part time. i decided to apply for the position as did several other members from my current team. this was a big event because benefits are great here and so full time spots are very rare and competitive when they do open up. I worked on my resume and case for weeks on end to ensure i had the best chance of getting the position. i got into a few spats with coworkers about who should be promoted as well. this caused a lot of tension among us and made actual work tough for nearly a month. we had a first wave of interviews that knocked out half of the applicants. this made things even worse as some longer tenured employees were not pushed through to the second round of interviews. i was lucky enough to be pushed through myself. after the second round, we had two days where we did not know who had won the position. this was also stressful for us and put more tension on the office and all of us personally, as it was a life changing event for anyone who won the spot due to the salary and our life trajectories. after a few days, my manager called me into his office and informed me that i had won the position. this was a surprise to me as i thought other members were favored over me and would get the position. i was ecstatic to win the spot, as my salary more than doubled and i got great benefits. despite the stresses i was very happy with the situation.
I retired five months ago and am as happy as I've ever been. Not only can i do what i want to do, but i spend four days a week with my two year old granddaughter. Things are so good for me now; it's a feeling i have never had before.
Output: At the age of 63, i can honestly say that i'm as happy as i've ever been. I retired from full time employment at the end march; my sources of income now are my pension , my social security, and my m-turk work. i am living a life now that i have never lived before. i compare my situation, although not totally comparable, but to a prisoner who gets out of jail. for forty years i worked at jobs that i didn't enjoy and/or were low paying, i was doing work that was too difficult for me; was unstable, etc. so when i retired, it was like starting a new life. i thought i'd like my "new life," but the fact is i love it; things are too good to be true. not only don't i have to work anymore, but i get to spend four full days a week with my wonderful 2 year old granddaughter, Kinsley. this is because my wife runs a small day care center right here in our house so Kinsley spends eight full hours here four days a week. I can not express in words how much i love Kinsley. I have one daughter but when she was young i was very distracted with a few problems that involved my job as well as some personal issues. i didn't spend nearly as much time with my daughter as i wish i had when she was very young. Spending all this time with my granddaughter, therefore, is a whole new experience. watching her grow; being amazed as she does new things almost every day...amazing. every grandparent brags about how smart their grandchildren are so i'll do the same...Kinsley is so intelligent that it almost scares me. and she is so happy! and no wonder with loving relatives around her all the time. besides all this, as a person who had suffered from insomnia for many years, the fact that i can now sleep when i want, with no pressure of alarm clocks or whether i got adequate sleep, it is amazing that i have no more of those pressures. i hardly even need an alarm clock. i don't have to worry about whether a job can provide coverage if i want to call in sick. i don't have to worry about driving in bad weather as i had to so often in the winter here in central new york state where we sometimes get pounded with snow storms. i also love listening to my CDs and i recently became a frank sinatra fan; better late than never. and i enjoy the company of my wonderful, supportive wife. so all in all, things are great. i paid 40 years worth of dues and i earned my freedom.
My daughter was accepted into Rutgers University after a major effort on my part spanning years to deal with major attention deficit issues.
Output: I, like all responsible parents, dream of a pleasant future for our children and can take advantage of life's opportunities as a step to overcome the abyss. but on some occasions we must give them a boost, my specific daughter has a great problem of attention deficit and it has been a great challenge for me to help her overcome this problem and be able to go out into the world and take advantage of the opportunities that exist in life. her dream and mine was for her to enter university and in turn study the career of her choice, graduate and achieve excellence and that her degree may be able to obtain a good position in a company or she can undertake any business, which whether I support her as a fatherBut I received a nice news and a few days ago we received an email that notified that my daughter was accepted at the University of Rugerts and could study what she always wanted, I really feel very happy that all this has been achieved after so much constant effort so that she can achieve her goals. It is fascinating how life sometimes pleases us with gifts like this, she in her children always had trouble keeping attention and consent in anything. The professors noticed that their grades were not able to rise since in the classes they did not pay enough attention to understand and at the time of taking the exam I did not know what to do. But when I realized this and I was able to talk to her teachers and see her notes, I started working to help her personally. I started teaching her at home, I was sending her to do attention exercises and I was looking on Google what I could do to help her. My goal has always been for her to be excellent and I know she will be. At the beginning it was very difficult for him to keep his concentration for a couple of hours, since shortly after starting something he got bored or fixed his attention on something else. It was very stressful to feel that at first nothing worked to help her. I tried everything I found on google, but there was no improvement. It was at that moment when I decided to go to a specialist, and with her we did everything necessary to improve her attention. After a time of moments of stress, highs and lows we finally started to see an improvement. And it was there that I saw a light in the darkness, at last my daughter was beginning to improve her path to success was clearing up. I continued persisting with exercises and practices at home, and her grades began to improve, after being a bad student, she began to be a regular student, passed all her subjects with good grades, the teachers congratulated her. He was able to graduate from high school and then enter university and thus fulfill his dreams
We drove our son to college 3 hours away. My car had problems on the way. I had to say goodbye in a gas station parking lot.
Output: My son started college. We loaded up both of our cars with all of his things and headed to his college which was 3 hours away. This is our first child leaving for college so it is stressful, expensive and just sad. It was even worse for me as my car's check engine light came on while we were driving him down. I had to say my goodbyes in a gas station parking lot which was less than ideal. We managed to fit all of his stuff except his bike into one car and I drove back home in case something major was wrong with the car. My wife finished driving him to school to unload all of his stuff. My oldest daughter went with them to help but we didn't have room in that car for my younger daughter who I drove home. I didn't even get to see his dorm room or campus or anything. I miss him a lot as everything just seems different now that he is gone. I text him regularly but it certainly isn't the same as seeing him all of the time. He is coming back to visit on labor day so at least we have that going for us. The car had some sort of electrical problem causing it to misfire, $800 later it is fixed. My wife drove his bike down a week later. The entire reason we took him to college early was for band camp. He got accepted to the band but decided he didn't want to do it so turned them down. Wish we had just waited 2 more weeks to move him in.
Was lied to by my company about finances at first. But in the end I ended up getting the raise i deserved. And I also received an unexpected promotion as well.
Output: After my raise and promotion, everything seemed to be going in the right direction. I was able to become certified in something that helped my resume grow. And it added to my experience. Thanks to this new certification on my resume. I was able to apply to several other positions with other companies. These are places that I wasn't able to apply to before. I wasn't sure if I was actually going to leave my job or not. I just wanted to keep my options open. It had been a while and I hadn't heard back from any of the places I applied to. So I just figured that they must not be hiring. And that I would probably be stuck where I was for a while. However, I unexpected received a phone call one day with an amazing offer. They were very interested in my experience. And thanks to my new certification from my former company, I was able to recieve a much better offer/salary. In the end, even though I received a raise and promotion from my former job, I ended up benefiting more from leaving and going with a new company.
