A moment of confusion...

This won't make sense to most, but I've been toying with some interesting revelations lately. I enjoy people watching. (Not in a perverse sense, but in a curious, "What are they doing, thinking and feeling?" sense.) I've made the following observations:

1. People say they are not worried about others' perceptions of them, but they stand around constantly tugging at their skirt hem and readjusting their hair. They look around to see if anyone has noticed, and when it appears as if no one has, they continue readjusting themselves. People, essentially, are insecure.
2. Very few people let you in on what's in their heart. They are constantly showing an outward appearance and facade. Maybe they paste on a smile because they want everyone to imagine they are happy. Or they flirt when no one is looking because they enjoy the thrill. (And, essentially, are insecure.) They lie.
3. People struggle with making good decisions and instead make impulsive decisions that provide immediate gratification. Children do this, which makes me wonder if these same people were never shown consequences for their actions, and have now turned into adults who cannot make adult decisions.

This doesn't necessarily apply to everyone. I'm certain that some will read this and wonder if they are the person I was watching. Essentially, people are insecure. We struggle to ultimately give our lives over to God and have faith that through prayer we can/will make good and better decisions for our lives. Our outward appearance will mirror our inward beliefs and thoughts.

Summer Vacation

 

Summer vacation is here. My husband travels a month at a time, and gratefully he is home for my first "official" week off. I've gotten ZERO accomplished, but I don't feel bad. It's only Tuesday. I've got a crazy list of things I want to accomplish this summer, and sad to say, I need something/someone to hold me to my list. So here it goes, in no particular order, and all to be accomplished at some point.

• Read at least 4 professional books (I already have them in my bad and would be VERY happy if I could read more than these 4, since they aren't very lengthy.
• Work out 4 of the 7 days of the week.
• Clean the guest bedroom and attempt to organize that God-awful bag-o-crap of your husbands since you know he is not going to do it. 
• Dogs need shots and grooming
• Go to New York and having a great time...you deserve some vacation and you deserve this opportunity.)
• Take pictures...lots. Then, scrapbook them.
• Go somewhere with your husband.

Like I said... it's an interesting list, but it's things I want to accomplish. There are a MILLION more things I can add, like looking for PETER PAN stuff for my second grade team. Whoop! I also need to redo the second grade planning room.... and I have ideas.... :)

Off for now, enjoy life people!
