Simple and True.

Reflections 2010-11 entry from Rebecca, an elementary student.

Mom was right, life gets busier the older you get. Circles of people and events get bigger and bigger with each blown out candle. Hence why I have not been on top of journaling my thoughts/happenings lately.

I've thought plenty. Equally loving and hating that I do that so well. Menial house duties are a catalyst for inducing such time. In fact, just the other night while at work, doing another menial task (and being relatively quite since I was the only female in a room of males), a creative idea jumped in my head. Now the next objective I have is to find time to pursue it. I will hint that it has something to do with shoes. This hint being solely (no pun intended) for remembrance purposes.

I've also tried to avoid some thinking: some whys I want answered, some woe is me garbage, some when questions. All of which I find if I keep busy enough, their answers will come in time. In experience. Possibly through other people. So, I've stayed busy. Going here, there. Doing this, that. Volunteering. Serving. Saying "yes".

Getting out of myself has been a welcome relief. In spite of the busy, life has been sweeter and offered answers in ways I never thought I'd discover them. I've felt more tired and stressed, but the old adage is true:

"When you cast your bread upon the waters- it comes back a sandwich".
