I have had a lot of fun in recent weeks, whether it is at work with my co-workers/friends, or my actual friends, whether it's Shane and Joanne and Robin or seeing Dan who I have not seen since 99, or Jay, Joe and April, or John, Cody & Kevin, or my friends online: Suz, Jeff, Ashley, Mike (from school), Sarah, Piper, and the list goes on, no offense to anyone who reads this and is not mentioned, like a few others who go to Movie Group and such,
I even smile thinking last time I saw Dan, he signed my Grade 9 yearbook in this very touching spiel (no disrespect meant) about The Lord, and I think of where I've come from Grade 9 till now, he wants to keep in touch so I'll have to work on that. So between the fun I've had with my friends, the faith I am truly working on and is something that never stops, but I want to bridge the gap more and no matter how hard things are, something I need to let go of if not for good but atleast for now, I am also getting a lot of aid/satisfaction and inner truths revealed in the self-help books I am reading, and I could never say everything in them cause both books apply to me in most of everything they say and I have to figure out how to apply it, how to better myself, and such, but I would like to post one thing in here from the 2nd book:
"It was Sir William Osler, the Canadian-born physician and distinguished professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University, who once told an audience of medical men:
'No man is really happy or safe without a hobby, and it makes precious little difference what the outside interest may be - anything will do as long as he straddles a hobby and rides it hard.'
A worthier prescription was never penned. Diversions are as essential to our health and personal development as schools are to our education, or as food is to our nourishment. And it's funny - you can always tell when it's time to shift gears and change hats. The frown gets deeper...the inner spirit gets irritable...the jaw gets set...the mind gets fatigued - these are God's signals to you that say 'Don't abort, divert. Don't cave in, get away! Don't crumble, create.!'"
April said to me months ago that I need to get a hobby and it is true, I cannot continue to hopelessly distract myself with friends, school or work, so I am gonna branch out, maybe I can even start a new woodworking project, I am good at those, but that is just a suggestion/example.
Something to lose myself in, which in the past has been wrestling, movies, (i enjoyed that monday a few weeks ago with Shane and Joanne watching movies and talking about them too during);I once did a wrestling almanac project, i was an artist for a few years, there even was doing wwe superstar bio/storyline histories for Emily, and the list goes on and on, I am blogging, thats a new hobby but not quite what I am looking for, working out is a hobby of mine still but that I also enjoy and take seriously (note to self: Go to The Y once I get my first pay on the 4th, so I might be in the gym on my birthday Nov 6th lol);
