Something significant to me, where I can be happy and affect others positively at the exact same time. Something I love doing and don’t mind waking up for every day. Something where I’m comfortable in my environment and where my environment inspires me to live my life and be open and not shut down and be closed off. Something that contributes to the goodness of this world and that honors God. Something that changes me and challenges me to learn every single day of my life. Am I just being too idealistic?
All I know is that life is too short to dread coming into work Monday morning.
1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary…
I flash mobbed it all over Seattle today despite finally nailing the choreography hours before the actual mob and debating if I really wanted to go and running on 5ish hours of sleep the past couple of nights. I’m sore from today but it was all worth it. I am so glad I went today. I have missed dancing just to dance and being able to express myself that way. Unfortunately, I hardly dance around the house anymore.. I think lack of motivation is behind it. But this flash mob reminded me of what dancing used to be to me. I felt inspired today.
I went for a run today to find relief from my own struggles I’m dealing with right now. I’ve been running a lot lately and I find that as I run more often and consistently, the usual trail gets easier and my pace is beginning to pick up. It encourages progress! But after the run was over i’m back to my own struggles and I just don’t have the energy to deal with them, so I’m putting them aside for the day. Or I could give them to God but I just end up taking them back, over and over again. I know God is ultimately in control but I feel that I have responsibility when it comes to certain things and I feel unsettled because I have no idea what to do. Part of me today was running from my feelings because going through them right now feels like I’m never going to reach beyond it. I just feel like God is distant in all of this and I don’t see revelation or anything. But even when there is nothing in sight, I will keep pressing forward… especially if nothing articulate comes to mind. Sigh. I just want some answers and a clear mind.
If someone ever tells you a certain song is important to them you should turn it up and lay on your bed and close your eyes and really listen to it even if its 10 minutes long because at the end you will know that person much better I think
