tuesdays thoughts: more of this, less of that

Living less in want, and more in action is a wonderful way to be. My focus is finally shifting from all the stuff I want, the iphone, drinks out at the bar, etc. and towards what I can do more of, running, writing, drawing, etc. These lusts became my first priority. I dreamt about how much better life would be if only I had an iphone- it's apps would make doing everything so much easier! Yoga at the touch of a button! An easy way to count calories! A digital library at my finger tips any time of the day or night- think how literate I'd become! Instant blogability every time I had a witty thought, wouldn't the world just love me then! Oh, the possibilities were endless! Oh, but only if I had that phone! And without it- everything was just less. No happiness for me! Just another month that had come and gone with little to no "expendable income."

Time to stop obsessing over want I can't have and grab a hold of what I do have.

after a weekend at the beach i feel both refreshed, and a bit of course.

life has a way of moving, with or without you, it seems.

deadlines. bills. chores. laundry. birthdays. work. holidays.

it's hard to maintain control.

a reason to rejoice

 

Today I turn 24.

I feel like I am now entering uncharted territory.
It's not like 16, 21 or 30.
I don't have the same expectations I did for 23.


This is my life, here and today
and all I've gotta do is live it.

As it turns out, having three days off leaves time for a lot of thinking... here are a few ideas that I've been chewing on:

1. just do. sometimes all it takes is knowing your goals.
and maybe having a few strategies will help.

2. there is a constant in life.
that constant is change.
no two days are ever exactly the same.

3. my approach to food and eating has been a journey filled with lies.
it is time to break down those misconceptions.
eating is not just about flavor and feeling full.
and unfortunately, dessert is not mandatory to my well-being.

4. staying up until 4 in the morning reading, is glorious.




oh and mosquitoes suck.
