I haven't quite decided on which personality I am going to put forth on this web blog yet. I seem to wear many hats in my life- a single mother, an older college student, a wanna be philosopher, dreamer, homeschooling daredevil, rebel without a cause, spiritualist etc...every day it feels as if one of these personalities stands out the most..I just know that at this point in my life if I start writing a blog then maybe it will get me back into the habit of writing..even if I am the only one who reads this at least I will be writing to myself...so this morning has been a constant battle with my two yr old as I let him help me with the dishes two weeks ago and since then he keeps pushing our dining room table chairs to the kitchen sink to play in the water, now, normally I wouldn't mind but he likes to fill cups up with water and dump them on the floor...what kind of buddhist teaching cold there be on this? Or even what can I learn through the Spirit that would help so I don't lose my mind pulling my son away from the sink the 100th time in an hour while he kicks and screams? Sigh, well, I am not sure just yet and maybe in a couple years I will figure it out...so, what personality am I today? that of a mother (much cleaning to catch up on since I don't have class ) and student, which I have a lot of research to do is weekend...also, I feel spiritual today becaue we will be getting snow and I think I may take my boys out for a walk...something about softly falling snow makes me turn inward...
Here is my quote for the day:
"First I was dying to finish high school and start college;
then I was dying to finish college and start working;
then I was dying to marry and have children;
to grow old enough to work;
then I was dying to retire. And now, I am dying...
and suddenly realize I forgot to live."
Live in the present moment- it really is all we have -right now.
