Buzz

she's sneaky and
selfish
oh how she turns
you into something
else
the misunderstandings
the half-truth
the words are
strewed
and
steamed
into everyone's
pot of veggies
they call
perception

Pledge

"If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life" I would love to be at this point in my life. I mean how incredible to not have my mind crowded with so many thoughts, worries, and plans. This is about living simply. How can I live more simply? This phenomenal book I've been occasionally reading, discusses something that we've all heard--there is not enough time in a day to do all that we want to do. Of course this is true, but frankly, our lists are far too long. This author simply states that we have to make a list of priorities. A list consisting of 5 things. My list began with my relationship with God and included time for myself. I can't think of a season of my life where I set aside time for myself. This is going to change this year. To live more simply, but to live more fully.

Stamina

As this blog is so conveniently titled, I need to continuously work on living consciously. I need to continuously be asking... 1. What can I be doing? 2. What can I learn? 3. How can I make ____ better? These are just simple questions--but they are questions that couldn't be a better habit for me t...

Pay Attention

Today I realized the differences between what day dreaming and paying attention looks like.  Yes, I was observing my fellow classmates--but also myself. I would have honestly considered the day dreamer to be a hot head and self confident individual. While this still could be true, it was an assumption on my part, of course, but it also made me evaluate myself.  Am I always day dreaming? I find that often times it is very difficult to pay attention to what's right in front of me. This ranges from cooking, to TV, to conversations with people I would call close friends. What is wrong with me right? We are all human, we all have short attention spans, but what has really stopped me from just listening. My professor went on a rant, if you will, and called out a student to answer his not-so-clear question. This day dreamer, immediately blushing, asked what the question was in the most puzzled tone. He dismissed them quickly, and moved on to someone else, who actually ...
