A Message from My High School Self

My parents drove out a truck full of my furniture and stuff that I haven't had for about 7 years.

In one of the notebooks I was going through today, I found the following poem. I remember writing it at one of my brothers band concerts thinking about everything I needed to get done. I find it very applicable to me in my life now :)

Life

Rush, Rush, Rush
Work hard to Cram everything in
Cram, Cram, Cram
Plan ahead - be sure there's Time
Time, Time, Time
Manage that Time, make it fit
Manage, Manage, Manage
Finish things in Time -
Finish, Finish, Finish
To Rush - again.

Take a Step

Right now I am contemplating making significant changes in many facets of my life.

Not sure what that is going to mean exactly. A quote from one of my heros keeps coming to mind (yes, it was my Facebook status twice in a row . . .)

"There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions." – Pres. Dieter F Uchtdorf

What this quote says to me right now:

I need to take a step. Or several really. I may want to see the whole picture (my thirst for intricate solutions). However, I know some of the steps I will have to take, so I may as well start (an effort to see beauty and clarity in simple things)

Wish me luck!
