I don’t have anything of note to post about, and I don’t feel like posting about anything political. The recent rain has put me in relax mode, so I think it’s a good time to reflect.
I looked back at my posts from March of last year. I had just taken my first CSET test, was planning the honeymoon, and we went into escrow on our place. It’s amazing how much your life can change in the course of a year. Events that seem so far away sneak up on you when you aren’t looking. Living in the present is something I think a lot of people, including myself, struggle with. While looking forward to the future is not bad, I do think it’s easy to let the future overshadow the present. To see our lives in terms of major events can often reduce the value of the present. Whether it’s finishing school, passing a test, getting married, moving out, or getting a job, I think it’s important to stop and enjoy your time leading up to those events. When we focus completely on a future event, sometimes the present becomes taxing, and just another "task" to survive.
I rarely get philosophical here on the blarg, but maybe it will inspire you enough to enjoy a Tuesday. I know I’m enjoying mine.
