Nocturnal deliberation

How come things often seem most clear late at night after watching a good movie? Roughly 37 days away from having my Master's... I continue to try and figure out how it will play into my life and career, but there seems to be so much unknown and variables at play it is difficult to even speculate. With all of that said I pray and know that it will bring change, challenges, relief, and invigoration... a some what tall order but I know that someone upstairs has some BIG plans for me and am looking forward to executing them soon.

You know as I reflect back on college, schooling, and the rest of the time that I did not really have any responsibility.... i remember how great it was. One of the wisest things that someone said to me when I was in college was, "When I grow up I want to be a college student." I was obviously playing pool at the time and gave it not a second thought, but how great was that.... food was always ready for you... friends were but steps away at all times, movies... activities... and obviously studying. Real life takes on this fourth dimension that is powerful, dominating, and draining. That is why it is extremely important to harness it and dictate where it takes you.... use its strength and power to your advantage.

Everyone has their hobbies... exercising... running... crafting... etc... I am sure that as school draws to a close I will develop and rejuvenate many new and old hobbies. But with that said no matter what is going on in my life, when I have the control to play the perfect song or listen to some great music it melts me away from reality and takes me somewhere that knows no limits or boundaries... When I close my eyes I can remain perfectly still for what seems like forever without even knowing it. Music massages my mental muscles and recharges my spirit... My life is my own and I am daily creating my personal soundtrack... What are you listening to?
