Procrastination Station

When getting to know a person and you are in the question phase, which one are you? Are you more interested in the BIG questions or the simple things and details questions?

The big questions to me would be: Where do you live? What do you do for a living? Where are you from? Do you have any siblings?

The simple things and details questions to me would be: What is your favorite ice cream? Did you have a favorite stuffed animal when you were little? What is your next exciting destination you want to travel to? What is your favorite thing to do when you are bored? Morning person or evening/night person?

As you can see, I am the simple things and details person.

When I meet someone I am much more apt to remember what their favorite muffin flavor is than their name.

I have some family members ask me about a new acquaintance and just want to know the basic big questions everybody asks... and I have a good chance of not knowing... because I just didn't think to ask.

I was thinking today... If you love someone, it should be evident. This month I have been thinking that if I don't know, I should look to Jesus. Jesus made it very evident that he loved us and God. I looked up evident, it said manifest. I looked up manifest, it said  made known. I want to make known who I love, it is important.

I hope it isn't just evident to me who I love, but others can see it too.


Why is it... when I really need to get something done I go into procrastination station and stay there a while... All at once it becomes the most fascinating place I could be. Everything is so fresh and sparkly. The colors are brighter, the music is more serene or carefree and happy! The food near you becomes tastier! Then while you are in this euphoric state you glimpse outside the window... it is dark and gloomy with a deadline flashing a unpleasant color ( you are free to choose your own color at this point we are still in the procrastination fun zone.) Talk about horrible advertisement of reality.


Whyyyyyyyy I still have coins to spend and food to eat and music to dance to and 150 zillion things that are so much more awesome to do than those dreadful unpleasant things over there... near by.... why are they getting closer?!!! Nooooo

Yet again, responsibility has attacked... Next time folks we will be better prepaid... said every procrastinator on the planet...

I just claim that procrastinators like to live in the moment right?! Or that they just make the last minute count just a whole lot more that anyone ever thought it could. They get the most out of the last moment, quality seekers if you will... ?

I have to find something wonderful about being a procrastinator... surely.

The moments taken away from responsibility do seem extra sweet don't they?

Grrr the Responsibility Train has come to my station to pick me up ....  Well then, till next time!

Reflection

Wow, has it really been  4 years since I last posted something?! 

My life has changed so much... Yet, at the same time it is easy to feel scattered, confused, and insecure even with all the growth a person may encounter. 

I will have to catch you up on my life somehow without making it sound droll. Maybe I will someday, but today isn't the day for that particular history lesson. 

Looking back on my old post, I realize something. I realized how much writing can do for a person. For me, it accesses a part in me that is particular reflective. You can say something and think anything that really comes to mind. These particular thoughts might not easily flow into a daily conversation...but when writing, they just seem to fit. 

Perhaps writing only has the cap you put on it, it can be boundless. Why is it then that I haven't took the time to access this freedom of "thought speech" in such a long time? 

Going back to being reflective... ahem... yes, I am random.... yes, I have A.D.D. so bare with me. :) 

Ahem... Reflective...It is somewhat hard to be reflective. Reflecting takes time, it makes you look at yourself...and sometimes that isn't the easiest... it also can shine a new light on old things. 

Just think how much more improved and new my life may of felt it I just took time to reflect and appreciate. 

A new goal. Be more reflective and write the reflections, either here or somewhere. To mark a memory or feeling to spend time on the simple things in life, because when it is all said and done... What is it that you really want or cherish? 

My Grandpa, passed a few years ago. He was one of the best people I have ever met. I am sure I will reflect on my Grandpa more while blogging. He is too important not to mention.

It is interesting how much we can learn from a memory. Perhaps I don't put enough weight in memories. Should I just be living in the past, no. Should I always want to be thinking how I could of done things differently on the things I didn't have any control over... probably not. Although, there is a lot to be said about the lessons we have learned and to not forget them within our memories. 

Reflect... I think I will...
