A "February 28th" kind of day
"I woke up today and didn't feel like writing" (that's for you Sheri)
She told me to post something every day, even if it's simply:
"I woke up today and didn't feel like writing"
But I do feel like writing. I'm excited because it's the end of the month (well, leap year) and the end of a very long process of applying for a FTE grant (Fund for Theological Education). Folks may not know I'm in school (University of Chicago) while building this PureMusic, and I've been searching for folks who want and are able to help. Keep that in mind.
I want you on my team.
More than anything, it's a "February 28th" kind of day because of ENDINGS. End of month; end of grant; end of a 3-day raw foods fast; NOT the end of Lent (I miss ESPN). In many ways the END of not trying my best. I'm always fascinated by people who are not where they see themselves, unhappy, spend all their time making other people unhappy- generally displeased with life. And they do very little to change it. They complain when no one is "on their side", but one thing seems apparent:
We spend more energy being unhappy than we do trying to find happiness. There's got to be an end to that. A "February 28th" moment has to come; where we say "I'm tired of being unhappy." The world may have caused your source of displeasure, but you sustain it. Looking for a change? BE the change you wish to see.
Most of the time our struggle comes not from what HAPPENED, but how we react, respond, and allow WHAT HAPPENED to dictate what is HAPPENING. Just a thought.
Sorry to go all Gandhi on you
