In My Pr[y]or Life...

Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - Why do I even bother with "summer plans"?

I'm doing it again...thinking of all the things I had planned to do over the summer and seeing the summer vanish right before my very eyes. I keep trying to figure out what gives other people so much more time to pursue those plans and the only thing I can come up with is...well, nothing. It's like trying to figure out why some families can live on less than your family does, yet they seem to do and have more than you do. Come on, surely I'm not the only one who thinks these things, am I? It's pointless, fruitless, and infinitely frustrating to say the least. But I still taunt myself with overanalyzing it all. Every formula fails to give believable results. So I sit and sulk for awhile, feeling sorry for myself, and then I move on to the next thing demanding a piece of me.

There are no quick fixes. Just a constant need to trust, move on faith, and keep on living.

Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - I Can Relate!

Posted by Anne

I actually made a list at the beginning of the summer of all the projects I wanted to do. Here now at the end of June, very few have been checked off. Some big ones have been -- like painting my son's room -- but much has taken a back seat to going to the beach or curling up with a good book. I'm choosing to view that as progress, though, because it's usually so hard for me to give up a task and just enjoy life. And I'll always have closets to clean, but I won't always live on a beach in Hawaii! :-)
