Have you ever wondered?...

I'm taken back to being young and having pointless conversations with friends about things that, at that time, seemed to matter the most... For instance that classic phone call (about 6 times since the incident) seems to go on forever.  You were at the park,  you saw him,  he saw you...hours pass...then he says 'Hi Praise' and the cripple are walking, world hunger is eradicated and all the blind little children see!  A miracle!  A miracle that consumes every conversation after that...

'he said 'Hi Praise', what does that mean? does he like me?'

'of course he likes you, why would he come all the way over here to say 'hi'.'

' i dunno, i wonder if he was just saying hi because...'

We all know how it goes, sitting, thinking, contemplating...  I find sitting, thinking, and contemplating always works when I'm trying to make a decision that benefits only me.  Let's face it, sitting, thinking, and contemplating sucks when the outcome will have nothing to do with you, or how you feel.

I don't know if it's just the stage in my life, but I am beginning to feel like that is the secret to youth.  The ability to enjoy something so small and simple without even realizing it.  Sitting around and 'wondering' doesn't happen for me anymore, but I get the feeling that if I took off a whole day (once a week) and just chilled out I would be more rested, energized and maybe feel a bit younger, or at least my age!  I realize that at my age, people (especially if you're athletic) feel at least 3-5 years older than they really are.  I am aiming at feeling at least my own age... What am I trying to say?... Take time to just wonder, take time to smell the fresh air, take time to wonder...

The Ladies...

I went to bed last night with the worst headache and woke up with the same one. I don't know if there is anything worse than a headache... That constant throbbing...aargh...  Anyways the worst part is that I did it to myself.  I went for a long run yesterday and drank practically 1 oz of water and my body is dehydrated and angry with me... My ladies don't seem to care that I pissed my body off last night and were up and at them this morning with their usual 'lady babyness'.  Suffice it to say, I popped some Tylenol and I'm feeling a bit better about the day.  It's going to be a busy one, banking, bill paying, house cleaning, cooking, all with the ladies.

Don't get me wrong, Mondays with the ladies are pretty great!  We now have things figured out and because it is getting lovelier outside, it  will make our busy day a bit more bearable...  As I type I'm feeling a little better but unfortunately even if my pain does not subside I must still continue on with the ladies...wish me luck!!

Peace

Human Nature

My motivation has been dwindling lately and I don't know what to do. I'm tired of doing everything I'm doing, and I'm about ready to take a break.  The thing is I just came from a break and now I'm trying to find excuses for letting things slide.  Is this just the ebb and flow that is life or am I beginning to slip?

I find it funny how as humans we can justify any and everything.  We can always come up with a great reason for laziness that no one can question.  "Oh, she's that way because she's an artist" or "his Dad died two summers ago and he just kept gaining weight..." This is my fave,"Life's too short to worry about such and such..."  Maybe every now and then we need to feel unmotivated and lazy to realize that we are being unmotivated and lazy.  Maybe I just need a few weeks of laziness to realize I'm doing nothing with my life and should kick it into gear. Maybe it's the crappy beginning of beautiful spring.  Maybe there's something to be learned in times like these.  Maybe I'm just human...

LAZINESS (an excerpt)

It's fine to recline on the flat of one's spine, With never a thought in one's head: It's lovely to lay staring up at the sky When others are earning their bread. It's great to feel one with the soil and the sun, Drowned deep in the grasses so tall; Oh it's noble to sweat, pounds and dollars to get, But - it's grand to do nothing at all.

-Robert Service
