Contemplation

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? Or so small compared to the general scheme of things? Or just baffeled to contemplate the meaning of it all...

I stew on it often. I think that I am not doing it right, I should try harder, I am not where I should be in life right now. I should take more classes, I should go to church more often, I should go see my family more... I should try harder at work, I should get to bed earlier so that I don't have so much trouble getting up in the morning. I should be more open, I should be less OCD. I go crazy thinking about all the things I should be doing, or should have done by now. How do you fit it all in a day? School every day, work every day... rush rush rush, I should not rush so.

I saw this today...

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Life reminds me of that country song, I'm in a hurry to get things done, so I rush and rush until life's no fun, all I gotta do is live and die but I'm in a hurry and don't know why.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy life, I get a break on the weekends and for about 24 hours I try to breathe.... but there is still that egging in the back of my mind that there are things I should be doing.

Other profound thinkers....
Selena has the answers (coffee!)! Mack and Rev^3 have the questions... Carmel has the inspiration. lol!

Thought for the day: Without heroes, we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go. ~Bernard Malamud
I think I would have worded it differently... without inspiration, we are all ... Inspiration comes in many different forms, it is what keeps us going, even when we feel like we are stuck in a rut. It comes from inside your heart, it comes from Him, it comes from your friends, heroes, role models, and family. It comes from a drawing, a poem, a book, a movie.... a beautiful sun set, a happy memory, the love of a child.

Factoid: There is actually a phobia of vegetables called Lachanophobia.

Veggies are scary sometimes. lol...

Spanish words for the day: Arms = el brazo Legs= la pierna

That thing you saw :
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time...."

It's so true! I can relate to all of those things, it makes me shiver!
I also feel like I should be doing more of whatever it is. Awwww i'm honoured that you would have my name there as inspiration! You are also an inspiration to me, I would only wish to accomplish some of the things you do.
Life sure is like that country song :))
Love the pic hehehe.
Ok this weekend lets all breathe!
