This is me...

This is my opening post, I plan on using this to vent how I am feeling, to document things that happen in my life, important and not important. Well, important to me! I plan to share how I am feeling and not care so much what you all think. I know that kinda sound mean, but that is one of my goals for the new year, not care so much what people think. I think that people put so much emphasis on what others think of them and their perception of life that people neglect who they are. They are trying to be what they "think" they should be, or what they perceive is how things should be. I am going to change that in myself. I no longer want to care what people think of me!

So, I was driving to class listening to the radio, not even crazy stuff, just country and I felt my spirit was starting to be critical, angry at other drivers and irritated with the world, I mean, ya, that happens when you don't sleep well, which I didn't last night. So, I changed the station and started listening to Christian music, I know this sounds silly, but my attitude changed. It was like my whole perception changed and I was able to just let the stupid drivers drive and didn't care. It was weird and a really cool thing! I mean, golly, just a few seconds and a new perspective on everything. You know the saying, garbage in, garbage out. I think I may always drive with Christian music from now on, it really does set the pace for your day!

I ran/walked a mile and a half today and it took me 21 minutes and 5 seconds, I thought I was going to DIE! But guess what, I didn't! I made it all the way and I feel pretty proud of myself, cause even though I finished third to last, I realized something, it isn't about how well the other students in the class do, it matters how well I do, ME! I don't normally walk around, let alone a mile and a half solid through! So I think, I'm pretty stinkin' awesome! :)

On my way home today I was cruising down the street going WAY too fast, and I didn't realize, I looked down at my speedometer and saw how fast I was going, I slowed to the speed limit and not even fifty yards further down the street, a cop car was stationed, waiting for speeders. All I could think was THANK YOU GOD! I was astonished and amazed, cause normally I wouldn't have slowed down. It was awesome! So, I get to a stop light and stop.... obviously, and I look back in my mirror and a car is getting pulled over! I was so thankful! I could hardly believe it! That could have been me! God is so good! I think in the business of life we forget to stop and say, thanks God! That was really cool of you! Ya know, I think we should! Golly! If He cares so much about me to have me slow down, gosh! He cares about me, and you, SO much! More than I remember sometimes. I guess sometimes I just need that, "Hey You" moment!

That's my day so far... summing up... I hate running!
