This blog is one of the many things I tend to do when I am trying to relax. Whether it's to wind down before bed, to de-stress in the middle of the day, or just to slow down time a bit, I turn to things like writing, reading, prayer, and listening to music. However,…

It's always funny to catch yourself in the midst of thought. I find myself "spaced out" in thought sometimes - then I realize I'm doing it and snap out of it. I've always tried to maintain focus when I'm diving into my thoughts. Lately, I haven't had to catch myself in the middle of…
