Take Time to Watch the Ducks

I wish I had something crazy interesting to write about, but sadly nothing comes to mind, and I am updating simply for the sake of updating.
Though I have tons of ideas for interesting blog posts, it is difficult to find time to sit down and write.

time.

My sister said to me recently that the world would be very different if everyone could control time. I said I would hate it because my life would be a mess, even messier than now, but she was more open to the idea of being able to stop time, slow it down, and speed it up. Not that she thinks she would be better at it than God, but just that it interests her. Thoughts?

I am doing much better this Wednesday night than the last. Last Wednesday I hit my breaking point. I am not sure exactly what threw me over the edge, but sadly I think it was a lecture that was poorly structured and poorly presented in one of my classes. It put me over the top in my frustrations with school. I love my school and enjoy my classes, but I was completely overwhelmed with all of my papers, tests, quizzes, and various other assignments.

Two wonderful friends at work noticed that I wasn't exactly doing "well" and took time to talk with me about why school is weighing so heavily on me this semester. They reminded me that I must take time for myself, to rest and just "be" rather than "do." Great advice I'de say! The next day I sat down by a lake, sort of, outside my town home. I just sat there and watched the ducks. It was wonderful. Yesterday I started slipping into that  same overwhelming feeling, so I quickly escaped to the lake and watched the sunset. Nature soothes and calms me. I love it. It helped a lot to sit out there.
Take time this week to watch the ducks :-)

I wish I had pictures to make this post super cool, but they are all on my phone :-(
