learning, just keep learning

life is good...
everything is going well,
 
priorities change constantly...
i've been reading many books simultaneously...the discipline of grace, how green is your garden, university/community design partnerships, the purpose driven life, re-reading don't sweat the small stuff, i'm very glad that i'm going through these books, although not at a speed that i would like, but it's good that i'm opening them all once in a while...
 
this summer has been already really meaningful
i've got a bbq party to go to in 1hr, then drinks with friends after...weekends are too short...one more day of unplanned nothingness would be so good...
having no schedule would be good...
i just want to wake up, knowing that the whole day is unplanned not schedule, doing whatever
that would be good...i want to be bored more often
i've just been reading in don't sweat...it says
"much of our anxiety and inner struggle stems from our busy, overactive minds always needing something to entertain them.  while we're eating dinner we wonder what we have for dessert.  when we have dessert we ponder what to do afterward...it's almost as though we're frightened at the thought of not having something to do, even for a minute."
 
charlie: it's a beautiful little tree isn't it?
linus: yes, it is...
charlie: it's a shame that we won't be around to see it when it's fully grown..
linus: why? where are we going?
