Man oh, man… Now I feel like a slacker. I got on and Amanda had 3 and Allie had 1 new blogs that I had to read and comment on… My turn:

So (again) I haven’t really done anything off my “list” but I’m not worried about it.

YAY for being in the “tent” of contentment. For Allie, b/c Amanda was there with me, the reason (or one of) that we love Saint Andrews so much is because their sermons are really relatable. This one especially: it was about being satisfied with where you are in life and what you have. Not that you shouldn’t aspire for bigger and better things but to learn to be thankful for what you have and appreciate where you are. It couldn’t have come at a better time; for me at least. I’ve been struggling with the “want” for so much and the feeling that either I or what I was doing wasn’t good enough - my job, my friends (or seemingly lack of), and especially my lurve life. Having the feeling that I should be out there doing more – and maybe I still should. BUT THE LESSON IS: to be thankful for the job I do have, the friends that have stuck by and the possibility of a “parade of men” as my mom would say.

So here we have a picture from the Plano Hot Air Ballon Festival. Pretty right?


And here we have my Mr. Handsome looking away but also very handsome...


Much Love! Have a great rest of the week...

Conundrum...

I really, really want to learn how people “live in the present.” I feel like I’m stuck in a doldrum because I am constantly looking backwards or forwards. Worrying and wondering. Just thinking… about everything, always. I’ve got to analyze all the possible outcomes and if there is a really negative one, I think it’s not worth it, even if it’s more likely for a positive or happy ending. I have these aspirations to be happier and enjoy life more, but it doesn’t seem to come very natural so I’m stuck wondering (again) how people do it. Does it come natural to them or are they faking it till they make it. If it’s the latter, how do they do it?!?!? How do they force themselves into what’s most likely uncomfortable situations in order to “live and learn.” How do they stop themselves from thinking too much, or do they just ignore their subconscious and do it anyway?

These are the things I want to know. Because as my previous post mentioned (and even more before that) there are a ton of things that I want to do. That just need to be “done” but I haven’t even begun to get things aligned in order to mark things off…

Blarg… it’s Thursday so the week’s almost over. Maybe this weekend I can do something fabulous and exciting. Maybe someone should hold me too it. (And I know that someone should be myself, but obviously that’s too hard…)

I’m gonna work on my Christmas List for the family now because they are all over me about it… Thanks for listening to me.
