The joy is found in the journey, not in the destination. Now if I could only apply that wisdom to my life, and not just repeat the words... but actually live it! How grand would life be?

Volunteering

I wish it was May 12. That is the day I have my training/information classes for my volunteering.

I have an information meeting for the Nationwide Children's Hospital from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Then I have a training class for the Franklin County Dog Shelter from 6:00pm-7:00pm.

Anyways, it should assist in getting me out of my apartment on my days off... and if I happen to make some new friends in the process, that would be an added bonus! Also, I can't wait to take the dogs for a walk and be able to play with them! YAY!

~Be well~

P.S. Apparently I'm a blogging machine. (Especially since I'm at work for 16 hours today...)

Creating your own world...

So yesterday threw me for bit of a loop. It was full of interesting surprises. I don't really know how to tell the story without giving away too much information, but it was interesting to say the least. Sometimes when days like that happen I can see progression, and yet I feel regression. It is like taking four steps forward, and feeling like you've been walking backwards forever. I'm not sure what to do at this point, so I guess the best thing is to do nothing.

I am not as strong as I need to be, to be putting myself back in that situation. I have not grown as much as I need to, to be back in that place. I am trying to be okay being me. I am trying to be okay. I am trying to be.

I want to live life from a creative stand-point rather than a reactive one. I guess it all starts with one day at a time... one moment at a time... one thought at a time.

We are three-part-beings. Body. Mind. Soul. I want to use all three when I create my present and future. That's why I am TriCreating.

Thanks to Amy

I am keeping up-to-date with all the latest and greatest ways to waste time on the internet...

When I'm ignoring your phones call and can't come out to play, it's because I'm updating my websites.

It's keeping me young and anti-social... YAY!
