I commented that it has probably been a whole semester since I posted anything on my blog, and I was correct. This semester really turned up the heat against my priorities, and I have been revealed to myself.
Isn't it time we all slowed down, and learned to find joy again. One thing I ALWAYS point out about my time abroad and my time in the States is what things I find joy in. For instance how proud I am at completing my checklist for the day and half of tomorrow's list as well versus being so happy to sit in an underground coffee shop in Lester Square or taking a boda-boda ride from town to home.
A cherrished friend and I were on the phone a few weeks back talking about school. Both of us recognized the pressure to finish school at any cost, even if it means the experience is a bad one. My friend and I are the type that chose to enjoy every experience, and it was so refreshing to hear her speak the words I had been thinking forever. "I would prefer to just enjoy everyday, than be stressed out for four years and overwhelmed until retirement."
I am enjoying the small things, and as long as I can mange to focus on these little pieces of cake and pie than life can be as sweet as I choose.
I want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISMAS because I am going to have one. I am apologizing for not getting everyone's cards in the mail. The truth is that they are sitting in a pile, but half of them have no addresses and none of them have stamps.
