lack of substance.

26 Apr

The best-laid plans…
I had every intention to write a meaningful post today – one of substance and purport. Not necessarily a post that was thought-provoking, earth-stopping, or mind-captivating. (Psst, you’re obviously on the wrong blog if you’ve been looking for that.) However, there are bits of life experiences that I have been itchin’ to blog about – thoughts that bounce around in my head. Le sigh. I ran out of steam today and sometimes that just happens, right? I know two things:

1. I’m incredibly blessed, beyond reason or understanding.
2. I get to start a new day tomorrow.

Here’s to new mornings, fresh starts, and clean slates – on all levels.
xoxo.

P.S. Don’t think I forgot about Miscellaneous Monday! Here’s a sneak peek of the late list you’ll see tomorrow:

hoot, hoot. :)

brain overload.

25 Mar

Ever had those weeks when you feel like you have intensified senses and seem more aware of everything around you? Like Spider-Man or Daredevil. I feel pulled in a million directions right now but couldn’t be more excited to be more exhausted. I am so alert to all the wonderful things that are keeping me busy lately – like actually ENGAGING my freshmen students in Shakespeare, stepping into a leadership role at school, working on curriculum writing, planning our wedding and all the amazing DIY details (the programs we worked on this weekend are SO FUN), studying for grad classes, and training for the half-marathon. Meanwhile, my wish list of “things to do that challenge and inspire me” gets longer and I love it. I wish I had more time to art journal, snap photos, read books, get crafty, and hang out with friends. What’s the point of these silly ramblings? When it comes to the purposes God created me for, I love being busy.

only 24 hours in a day.

10 Feb

Sometimes I just have to admit to myself that I can’t do it all. I have to be okay with letting items on my to-do list not get crossed off. I have to stop beating myself up mentally for not getting things done. They’ll still be there tomorrow. I also need to start learning the word “no” and not get so over-committed. I would love to be snowed in and just blog. :) So many other things need to be done first, though.

However, I promise that my make-up miscellaneous monday post will be epic! (Don’t you worry, Laura Lynn :)). It will feature dear friends and art – two things I treasure. In the meantime, remember to give some extra love to the special folks in your life during this Valentine’s week. And pray for those who need the warmth and shelter during these cold times.

…but thankful.

I am contentedly overwhelmed with all the things on my to-do list.
I actually look forward to most of things I need to accomplish.
I have a job. I have a community of friends. I have a place to worship and fellowship. I have an incredibly kind and patient fiance. I have a supportive family. I have shelter, clothes, and food.

My blessings aren’t taken for granted. Today one of my students told me he has been sleeping in his mom’s car the past few nights . He’s afraid his mother’s boyfriend will beat him when he comes in drunk every night. It definitely puts things into perspective, right?

Wellll, helllooo, strangers.

I’m flying by the seat of my pants right now. I have so many tasks and projects I’m trying to complete synchronously. Too many hats to wear right now. I love it but I feel too busy to enjoy anything.

I even feel guilty for writing this lame, half-hearted post when I have a bajillion papers to grade.
I pinky promise, a REAL post this weekend. :)
