In most days of our lives, we discover a new door of opportunity. I've found that many times, those doors have been there for a while, we just haven't been quite aware that they are there. Once that awareness comes about, why don't we just go through the door? Well, sometimes it takes some awareness…
A lot happens in a day. It truly does. From the highs to the lows, we experience many actions, feelings, emotions, people, places, and things throughout one day on this Earth. And when we end the day, we get that time to process and balance ourselves as we sleep to reset for the next day.…
I usually blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week. I've missed a few of those days recently. I don't really remember if I was tired, if I was busy, etc. I do know that it must not have felt "right". I don't need to feel a certain way to blog, to write,…
2 days ago, I was doing a bit of planning. Nothing out of the ordinary, just outlining the next few weeks as I look at my calendar and such. I caught myself doing something that I do often: I made an excuse as to why I could wait to do something. Not necessarily procrastination…
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
I feel that I have expressed this before, but my stance on boredom has somewhat changed. I still don't like boredom, but it provides different opportunities than I previously imagined it. Over Thanksgiving break, I found many pockets of boredom. My schedule wasn't very full and I had completed tasks that I needed to complete.…
As today is Veteran's Day, we remember all of those who have served our country of the United States of America in battle. I will be forever thankful for those who have served, currently serve, and will serve. With today in mind being the theme of remembrance, it makes me think about us as…
As I sat and watched my favorite team, The Philadelphia Eagles, play football last night, I kept finding reasons to expect the worst. They were legitimate reasons to be skeptical (injuries, bad defensive play at times, etc.), but it wasn't good for me to keep thinking about the bad. Not only were those bad things…
I spent part of my weekend sitting in silence - just thinking. I thought about a lot, as I usually do, but the one thought on my mind that I couldn't get rid of was that "I should be doing something". I wasn't bored. I just felt unfulfilled. I felt like I should've had…
