Future! And the present, or, at least, the very very near future. I have been so busy with school and music and preparations for shows that it's mostly all I can focus on. Which is nice, because those are all things I really enjoy. I'm also getting back into a regular meditation schedule (with the help of my friends and school mates), which is letting me be more in the present.

That depends on how healthy I would be. Would I be able to move around? Would I be able to see the world as it changed? More importantly, would I be able to see it, hear it, understand it, feel it?

I feel like I probably had more recent ones, but this particular one stands out in my mind and heart:

To enjoy the life I have. To honor the earth and all life on it. To live in peace. To love as wholly as I can. To be as good to others as they truly deserve. To maybe make this world a slightly better place through my actions.

10 million kisses!
15 million hugs!!!

Something about transracial adoption, since I have to write a paper about it!! Oh, finals.

Remembering you have it.

The motivation to do something about it.
Being able to recognize that whatever you are pissed off about bothers you (because maybe you didn't realize it before).
Emotions of any kind give you new insight into what you think and feel about a situation or a person or a thing or..what have you.
You just have to learn to use them wisely.

When everyone is there! My mom, my dad, and my brother. I have a great family. It is nice that I live pretty close to them (1 1/2 hours on the bus..shorter), so I get to see my parents most weeks, but my brother and I tend to go on different days. But I see him other times, so it's all ok!!!

I try to create (key word "try..." sometimes I just slack off, but that's another story!). I enjoy making. Not like, being on the make, but making, putting together, piecing, composing, constructing, drawing, painting.

Today I had some spare time, and since I just purchased (but have yet to receive) a quart of "padding compound" (that stuff on the edge of notepads that binds them together but makes it so you can pull the pages off easily), I made a number of designs for notepads. Mostly things that will become gifts. One with a dragonfly for my mom's birthday, one with my band's logo for my boyfriend (he's our bassist). I'm going to make a decision one with a pro/con list for an indecisive friend. I'm on a roll!

And when I'm not making something, I will read or watch something. Entertain myself in some way and relax! Relaxation is important!
