Word of the day : Introspection

Introspection: Contemplation of one's own thoughts, feelings, and sensations; self-examination

After having such a stressful week at work, and in regard to the volunteer work I'm doing on behalf of the Center (for the rally), I really needed to spend some time with myself and have a little fun. The fun was great, SUPER even... but when it came down to it, I believe it's safe to say my weekend was full of introspection. I spent a good portion of my time outside, really enjoying the sun and trees, and things I normally would take for granted.

I feel the need to be more thankful for what I do have in my life. I really feel the need to take better care of myself... mentally and physically.

Verse 3:
Not exalting the talented prevents rivalry.
Not valuing goods that are hard to obtain prevents stealing.
Not displaying desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.
Therefore, the True Person governs by emptying the heart of desire and filling the belly with food, weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
If the people are simple and free from desire, then the clever ones never dare to interfere.
Practice action without striving and all will be in order.


And PS. You're OH so cool...
