Even though my wife set up a blog about a year ago so we could document the trials and tribulations of being first time parents, I've only posted one entry. Recently I have been getting more and more interested in the idea of sharing my thoughts with the world mainly because I think the time spend writing down my thoughts would help me slow down enough to reflect. I find that between work, school, family, and friends I tend to spend less and less time thinking about my own life. I used to look for quiet places so I could consider the implications of my interactions with the world. Every now and agin when I have a free second, mostly on my drive home, I feel bits of remorse simply because I know how great life is, but I've allowed myself to get so upset over something trivial.
This class forces me to slow down enough to gather my thoughts. So I can say that one of the things I look forward to most is the reflection time. I've take a fair number of online classes due to scheduling, but the more I take the more I enjoy the ability to learn at my own pace. It's fortunate that I'm a self starter, and procrastination is not something I enjoy.
Thank you world for listening, and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
I enjoyed reading your post, I can relate when you talk about the need to slow down and reflect, but I am sure being a parent does not always make it easy! Although I was wondering what is your major? Look forward to reading more of your posts!
ReplyDeleteHey @Journey! I had an internal *giggle* and *head nod* as I relate to your post-not that I'm a first-time parent, but that when I moved cross country I created a blog to keep family/friends updated and close to my "new" life in SJ! I believe I lasted a few posts! I'm getting back on the horse with this class too!
