Scars of survival

Survival is not only about the moment(s) in which the "surviving" takes place. Many of the things we survive leave scars that are constant reminders of what we have experienced. Scars are defined as a "sign of healing".... do you agree with this definition?

What do we survive?

Survival is not just about being on an adventure that goes wrong. It is more than being on a boat that capsizes and you must swim for your life. There are many things in life that we must SURVIVE....
what are they?

Forgotten

Imagine being in a "survival situation" where you are truly away from family, friends, home, and even safety. You are alone, stranded, and have no one to talk to as you WAIT and WAIT to be rescued. What goes through your mind? How do you pass the time? What do you think about to keep going?

I will survive....

When you hear the word "survive", what images or thoughts come to mind? What are the characteristics of a survivor? Does everyone have what they need inside of them to SURVIVE any situation?

Welcome back

It's that time again.... time to journal.
As you listen to the theme song from "Welcome Back, Kotter", a 1970s sitcom about a high school teacher in Brooklyn, think about the year before us.
What are your expections? Was it hard to come back? Are you excited or not at all ready to be here?!
Either way.....Welcome back....



Bonus question...Can you name what famous person got his big start on this tv show?
