My musings on life - for today, 6-19-08

Hmm, I’d like something fortuitous or awe inspiring to write about, but alas nothing comes to mind. The life which I have chosen to live these days is one that is fairly low stress… unless it is self imposed stress like pushing to meet a goal for work, or worrying about whether to order pizza hut delivered, or go to that Mongolian bar-b-q down the road, of course the thought that ‘neither’ would be the best answer and that I really ought to spend some time using the ‘wii fit’ instead of cramming food in my face will flit by on the outer edges of my conscious mind, but that ‘flitter’ is more often than not, quickly dismissed.

Were I to write regarding the things that are on my mind – they might actually be interesting to some… They’d involve stories regarding 2 girls who are past loves turned into present friends, 1 girl who should have been a past love but will forever remain friend, and 1 specific girl who is a present tentative friend and what all that might bring – as well as the general thoughts on love and the open road of the future – the age old debate as to whether to join the chase of possibly increased happiness via forming family ties or continue on in definite happiness of solitude and not trying for the bonus to happiness that dating may bring because the odd’s are great that there’d be allot of sadness along with any happiness gained. Thus would run my musings of the moment.

That said, it’s easy to move on and think about the fact that I’d like to get serious about some ‘next steps’ in my entrepreneurial plan… the ‘help build the family business’ part is moving along nicely – so it’s time to really start looking at what I’d like to be doing in 3 years from now. How do I want my relationship with the family company to be then, what would I be looking for from them in the way of support in regards to any new venture that I decide to undertake etc. etc. etc.

When I look back on the road I’m taking to get to where ever it is that I’m going to, I’ll be able to look back on this long windy road, and see many places that short cuts would have been possible. Right now, I think that I’d look at all the twist and turns, and recall the enjoyment that I have had so far, getting to where I am, and going to where I’m going, that I wouldn’t want to take any of those short cuts for fear of missing out on memories made along the way. I hope to hold that same view when I look back in 20 years.

Well, My thoughts are in a rambling mode right now, and I’m a tad drowsy which would account for it. I’m going to call it a night and post this up. Perhaps I can be more regular in my postings on my blog from here on out.

Say – lets see what I was doing the 2nd year of my mission way back in 92 on this date shall we? (it sounds like fun to me, and it is my blog – so there.)

- hmmm first thing I pulled out was a sappy “please don’t let it be over” letter to an X-Fiancé… It obviously never got sent heh.

Ok, here we go.: I mentioned that I’d eaten a potato boiled in sugar water for a long time (dulce de papa) and that it tasted horrid. I talked about the great day that we’d had (7 discussions, and nobody missed their appointments with us – that’s was definitely a rare day!) and mentioned a ‘language goof’ that I had. Apparently I had told some one that natural Honey had less prophylactics in it (les that what I know not.. ) but what I had meant to say was that it had less preservatives… oh the things that we say when we are learning another language eh?

I mentioned the feelings of excitement I felt, for the work. How much that I loved seeing the progress of the families that we were teaching. I talked of how blessed that I felt for the privilege of being there. And about a girl ‘Maria Noel’ that was in a car accident and walked away not badly hurt. She took this as a blessing of protection and was looking forward to her baptism.

And then I closed with the phrase: “I LOVE MY MISSION!” WH. (which I certainly did.)

Anyway that was a great day to just randomly pick up! And now, this blog entry is WAY too long –but I’m gonna post it anyway – I haven’t done any for a long time, so I guess it’s ok that this one’s so long.

It’s after midnight now, so I’m off to bed for sure!

G’night.
