Hey hey heyyyy

Friday 4-30-10

I just returned home from a vacation in Panama Beach and it was amazing. The emerald green water and the peace was exactly what I needed. It allowed me to go deep on the inside and really stop hearing whats on the outside. Today I am watching Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar on Positive Psychology and I really really recommend Googling: Harvard Dr. Tal D. Ben-Shahar. He speaks very well and talks about bringing happiness into the external world through going deeper in the internal world. Really hits home for me.

I'll fill in more soon :)

Loving Life more and more everyday, I also came up with a quote. "Heres the present, smile its a gift just for you."

Wow, what a wonderful start to the day.

I was reflecting today about school coming to a close. Well, heres a bit of background info; I transfered from a community college last summer into a University here in FL. Today and tomorrow are my official last days of classes this school year. This brings us up to the present, I was reflecting today about how school was coming to an end for the year. I began to ponder over all of the people and experiences I achieved during the school year (side note, I am beginning to reflect on my life as a whole now).

I have met many new people that have come so deep to my heart this year. A place usually reserved for close family -n- friends. Moving on to a reflection, for some unexplained reason this year I joined the men's rowing team at my University during the beginning of the Fall semester (now being the end of spring term). I can try explain why I joined but in all honesty it was a feeling I had. Feelings in my opinion are subjective experiences that to fully understand you have to subject yourself to the same experience to understand 100% empathy. Regardless it was a feeling that I had deep inside me almost like a fire. It was a yerning to try something new. What did I want to try out . . . this was the question I had been asking myself leading up to this point in my life. Physically speaking it was time to test out this body of mine, I had been training it for several months and months and months. With no goal in mind, just to train my body as hard as I train my mind. I might get into that later, but for now ill stay focused. My body was primed and my attention was set, becoming a rower was it. This passion during the beginning of my rowing knowledge allowed me to be open-minded enough to know this was going to be hard but the experience will be worth it in the end. Now here at the end, I can fully say that I have enjoyed all aspects of the experience. The people, the training, the rowing, the traveling, the competing and the winning. I could go on and on about this, maybe I will later but for now. I want to go train, its wonderful here in FL this time of year. We see it as; right after the winter cold- right before the summer heat. Its that middle ground that really makes the experience worthwhile. Whether we see it in the weather or we see it in our lives, the middle ground makes the journey worthwhile.
