Weekend is over.

I am finding myself currently having trouble motivating myself to complete schoolwork after another great weekend with Casey. After weekends like that I want to just: 1) hide in his truck so he will take me home with him, or 2) curl up in a ball and do nothing (or blog!).  So, I am blogging, and procrastinating with my school work, and counting down the days until the next time I see him (12 days). We had a great weekend together resting, dancing, eating, drinking, loving, wedding registering, cooking, deciding, and relaxing. I didn't want it to end, in fact, it ended much too soon. Now I have another two weeks before I get to look into those loving eyes again. I will obviously survive, but it is getting harder and harder, rather than easier and easier! Nevertheless, we are a quarter of the way through the school year already. So, Christmas will be here before I know it and then next semester will be completely crazy.  Then-it will be May! Deep breaths and one day at a time...just keep swimming!

Not just another post...

This is not just another post about grad school (blah blah blah) or wedding planning (blah blah blah) or about how I miss Casey (blah blah blah). Although all of those things are still happening...the first two progressing quite well, and the last one still the same. However, I must say that it is getting better...the missing Casey part. We knew it would, but we just needed to get through that adjustment period.  I am quite content (don't get me wrong, I would love it if he was here or I was there, but that's not where we are at in our lives).

Anyway, what this post is really for is for myself (and you) to think about our words and our actions.  Do our words match our actions? Are we saying one thing and then doing another, or are we staying true to our word? Are we badmouthing someone for doing one thing then turning around and doing something very similar to what we were bashing? It is something to consider. I am fairly certain that I am guilty of above items, and I think that everyone is...to some extent. Sure, some people may be "more" guilty than others.  I have noticed this characteristic in others around me from time to time...and quite frankly, it is annoying and disrespectful.  I like to think that we are honestly not aware of it when we are acting in this way.  For that reason, this post is to remind ourselves to be more aware of our words and our actions.  There is no reason to be disrespectful of others' actions. Period. And another take home message for today is to just remember that everyone strives for happiness.  That means everyone! Deep down, that is what we all desire. It is a fundamental characteristic of humans.  Happiness might be slightly different for one person than for another, but it comes from the same place.

Happy thinking! And remember, there is no reason to be disrespectful. We all just want to be happy. (If being disrespectful makes you happy, you need to rethink the definition of happiness).
