I find it fascinating how easy it is for the mind to wander... Wander into areas of no thought, random thought, and every thought. I feel my mind wander back and forth between these mindsets. It's hard to hold a point of focus sometimes when the central thought bubble is always changing. What I…
As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
As it is easy for myself to look ahead at what's to come, I can't help but be eager to start things that I know are coming in my near future. I know what I'm going to do when the time comes, so I am ready to get after it! Unfortunately, that's not how…
Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, I want to…
