workin it out.
summer. My brain is running 2000 miles an hour. Yesterday i had to wake up at 5 am. As soon as I woke up i needed to change the world. I wanted to right all the wrongs. The thoughts that were screaming through my head were...... (here, i'll tell you. haha)
1. We can never get complacent. Been there. done that. We dont grow when we dont care. I really think God opens our eyes to what we need to work on at the moment and if we see that and embrace it and then.....change it! The thought of "i dont care" usually means that a. we care TOO much. or 2. we've gotten very far from who we are, if that makes sense, or what we used to care about. now, there are some things that we dont 'care' about but i'm thinking there shouldnt be that much. There is urgency in life. There is the matter of living life to the fullest and taking charge. Letting God lead, but really taking that lead and in little and big things, making the most of everything.
I think in college and right after i was living in fastforward and not thinking of how to better myself and become more Christlike-which is a daily process.
But...I dont think that everything needs to change at once. We live really fast, if that makes sense. We gotta slow it down. I really believe that. And we have to do it now. For me, the realization that i needed to 'become better' came when i realized i needed to start eating right nad excerisiing. Focusing on that one area of my life really helped me in my whole life. It translated into how to spend my time, how much sleep i got, how i felt, how i related to people, the confidence i saw in myself, i mean...it had so many benefits-still does. Now, physical appearance isnt that big of a deal, but the concept of choosing one thing to better yourself through does make your whole life different. idk.
My dad brought home a pamphlet about how thoughts translate into emotion. His company does wellness seminars (hahah i love that idea!). This was basically saying, a lot of people say they cant control their emotions, when their emotions are being triggered by events that happened and then the thoughts that follow. Anyways, just thought that was interesting. So, when i feel my anger coming on (haha) I really need to figure out why i let something get me angry. I"m trying to live by the statement, 'no one should have the power of you to make you angry'. I really think if i'm ok with who i am and i'm living the way that I belive i'm suposed to then someone else shouldnt be able to knock me over. Taht doesnt work in all situations, of course, because sometimes 1. we need to get angry and 2. sometimes the other person is right, but i'm talking about when someone offends you lor something like that.
why am i rambling?!? i was just going to talk about life. hhahha. but i like to blog. while watching everyday italian. hahah :) ahhhh cooking shows.
this week i'm manager of my seafood dept. ughhghg. so much responsibiility and work! I work every morning and have today off instead of tuesday. Today has been glorrrrious!!! When you work really hard, the time off is just wonderful. I laid in the pool, soaked up some sun, worked out, played some piano, ugh. glorious....
now what to make for my fam's dinner....
whoa. i'm sorry you just had to read all that hahha.
hope you're well and really taking a step back and thinking about life and the important-ness of being intentional :)
loveyoutwas.

fish tacos
in a few weeks i'm getting my macbook!!!!! let the recording begin :)
summer is blllazzzing. like hot. and my body can't handle it because i work in a fridge.
i saw eclipse. did i love it?!?!?!?! DUH. Best movie of all three. and howard shore did that score. duh.
i just discovered ben rector today. amazing.
i'm not hating work. i am hating the work ethic there tho. People think i work too hard and that i shouldnt care because i'll just be leaving and the next person can do the stuff i dont get to. if that makes sense. wierd. i dont like that.
i hope you're doing well.
i just got a new book in the mail. isnt that always fun??!?!
i'm going to ohio this weekend. to play at a friend's wedding. Thankfully, this is the last one of the summer. It gets very tiring.
i love music.
God keeps showing me how faithful He is.
more later. just some random thoughts :)
