It is cold today! And I love it. I've always loved the cold, the snow, the winter holidays. I've been looking forward to this kind of weather for quite a while. Although this is a good moment, I have to consider something. I complained about the heat for a long time this year, continuously…
As I was walking this morning, I was thinking about a similar topic to recent posts: Alignment of your emotions to your mind. AND Aligning yourself with time. Although I was thinking outside of those boxes of thought, I realized how difficult it is to do both of those things. Emotions are immensely powerful...…
I came across a tweet the other day that was a gentle reminder to use the time you have (however much that may be) to communicate with those around you. Communication is key, and you never know what doors each key may open. This is going to be a shorter post today, but I…
I had the experience of commuting today (further than my normal 1 block commute from my near campus home). I drove to campus from my "home" home, after house sitting in Lee's Summit (about a 30-minute drive). During that drive, I got to experience the cool, clean weather we have this morning. Also, I turned…
Our outlook on life can change constantly. We look forward to new things every day... because new things always come. We can see things differently as our life continues to change and move forward. It can be an outer source of change (something you can't control). It can be from a learning experience you just…
There are many things I have learned from the past year and a half of doing this blog. I have learned about my many emotions, how I handle situations in life, how I function internally and externally, what I am looking for in life... an endless amount of learning that I am so thankful for.…
As we all know, time seems to move faster and faster each day. Every time I look at a picture, hear a song, see a friend, I'm reminded of how far back some of those memories are. They all feel like they were just yesterday. I've talked previously about how I want to…
Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
We all have things in life that we know are frequent but hurtful. They are simply just bad for us. They might not seem inherently bad, but they don't do positive things for you. I am aware of those temptations in my life. How come it is hard at times to throw those things…
I talk a lot about my times of reflection and analyzation. I sit back and think a lot about everything. However, this moment is different. I have something on my mind today, and it hasn't taken me much thought or emotion to realize where my head and my heart are. It almost makes me…
