hello my friends!! did you miss me?? LOL since i have started my class i have had waaaayyyy less time then i thought i would..no thats not a typo!! i am going to try and at least put 2 blogs up a week...and todays blog is inspired by a conversation we had while we studying for our big test yesturday that we took today. i have a feeling i am going to be saying that ALOT! LOL!! i have made some great new friends that i already feel close to and have already learned alot from. we all have baggage and we all have history. as far as baggage goes-and many of you have heard me say this, its not about losing youor baggage (like the airlines do LOL), its about learning to carry it gracefully. but history...well thats important. history you learn from. people say, "oh don't bring up the past." well you can't deny it either. because those who deny their history-which is where our baggage comes from-well they are doomed to repeat it. so as we sat there studying, and learning bits and pieces about eachother, we shared some of our histories. and the most important thing i could see in all of there faces-aside from what we were learning in class, LOL-was that they had learned some hard life lessons that had made them the great people they are today. and that's what its all about. so, today's quote (this quote goes hand in hand w/thoreau's quotes about castles in the air):
history can be messy and painful, but its not our destruction. if we're lucky it's our foundation. you just have to work your way through the mess to find what matters. to find the pieces of your past you still want to carry with you. and sometimes if you have just the right view, and just the right castle, you can build the foundation for your new history.... (men in trees)
until next time...safe journey.
