Life. Is. Crazy.
Life. Is. Crazy.
I've done a lot of personal reflecting since going home for my brother's funeral. I've decided that I don't want to run at this pace anymore. Before, I thought I should push ahead as hard as I could to accomplish my goals while I was younger, then I could enjoy myself. Now, I've realized that I am not garaunteed to make it to the end to see those goals met, and I need to enjoy the journey just as much as I'll enjoy the end. So, I'm meeting my current obligations, and I'm beginning to reacquaint myself with the things that have more meaning to me.
What am I going to do differently?
Less school-I'm going down to one class, at least for just a semester. I need to focus on rejuvination, and that takes time. The time has to come from somewhere, right?
Career moves-I'm not as happy as I could be at my job, so I've been pursuing other jobs in the same type of field. I've interviewed with a place I would really like to work for, and I hope to hear something soon. (I also have it on good authority that the job is mine)
Physical development-One of the things I need more time for is the gym! I really miss that place. I haven't been there since my brother died. I've been trying to catch up on my regular life and stay on top of things. I have only gained back 5 pounds, which is good. I can't wait to get back to losing weight and feeling great about my physical accomplishments. I'll also have more time to cook, instead of getting "convenience" foods. I also plan to get lots more sleep! MMM...I'm planning on investing in some new pillows after the holidays.
Spiritual development-I've found a great new church and I look forward to cultivating the relationships with these new friends and really being involved in the ministry there. I feel more pursued, more desired, more accepted, more agape loved at this church after 6 weeks than I felt after 6 months at my previous church. I do miss seeing a few people from the old church, but I know this is a better place for me.
I really look forward to putting all of this into action. I am approximately 4 days away from being able to do some of these things. If I can just make it through those few days, I will be ready to go.
