Denying reality is something I've been told I'm good (or is it bad?) at doing. I can get into my own little world and steadfastly convince myself that's all there is. This is probably a trait I picked up over the years of having thyroid and adrenal problems - when hearing about stressful/sad things could … Continue reading This Place Called Peace

Having Everything Under Control (A Day in My Life at Work)
Sometimes I pat myself on the back - pretty thrilled that I have everything so under control. Take yesterday, for instance. I woke up at 6:00 knowing I had a project to work on before leaving for my job. The morning started off well, I'd checked my work app several times and knew I had to … Continue reading Having Everything Under Control (A Day in My Life at Work)
The Expedition of Learning Change
During my early morning ponderings, I've come to a rather enlightening (and quite obvious) conclusion: Life is exceedingly full of change and transitions and therefore I must find a way to deal with them faster.

And when I make it into something about me, I'm no longer being thoughtful or … Continue reading Is it All About Me?

Things that I would never outright say, or even acknowledge to myself, but when I stop and look at how I live, I see how these non-truths have influenced my life and helped shape me into who I am. These things I'm talking about could … Continue reading These Lies
The External Act & Internal Reality
Recently I've been realizing over and over again how much patience and love God has with me, and how little internal patience and love I have with others. Sure, I might act patient and loving with someone, but on the inside, I've become quite adept at giving a running commentary that doesn't match the facial expressions I'm … Continue reading The External Act & Internal Reality
A Change In Perspective
It's amazing to me how a dozen people can look at the same picture, place, opportunity, or problem, and each person can see something different. With my teammates, it's no secret that I'm not a detail-oriented person - my most infamous case of this was when I was out checking the playground for ice in … Continue reading A Change In Perspective
