2 sleeps

only 2 sleeps to go...

i thought i'd share some thoughts that i've had. we were discussing what makes someone become weary. i came up with three things.

1) not doing something for the right reasons
it can be easy just to do things because you can, or because you are good at them. it can be easy to continue doing something just because you have done it in the past. it can be easy to do something because you were asked by someone you like and they had 'no one else' to do it and that made you feel bad. you get where i am going. all these are not the right reasons. you have to keep focus as to why you do what you do or you will get weary.

2) not using your gifts and abilities appropriately
so there are obviously things that we are good at and things that we are bad at. we should all stick mainly to things that we are good at. i am not saying you shouldn't ever do something that challenges you. what i am saying is, if you don't like getting up in front of groups, you hate kids and are not good at explaining things, don't become a teacher (i am not having a go at anyone, i am just giving an example with which i have experience). i think you get my point and if you don't, then stop reading my blog, i am too smart for you! (ha ha)

3) not leading a balanced life
i think there is a lot to be said for taking time out. to rest. to play. this goes as much for everyday life, as it does for taking vacations. i also think it's important to eat well and exercise. life can't all be about work, work, work, though neither can it be about play, play, play. there is a happy medium that must be discovered. there's a time for seriousness and a time for laughter. make sure you have both. all the time.

so there are some of my thoughts. i know it's not the lightheartedness of a day in niagara, but it's my blog and i'll blog what i want to.

tonight i am off to make the famous hailes receipe (well it's not really a hailes receipe, i tihnk kez just found it somewhere) of spinach and mushroom risotto. yum. hmm, i am just wondering if i have actually ever made it before. we'll soon find out...look for my next blog, it may be called 'best chef in the world' or 'dinner'.

oh, one reason why THE FLY is my favourite is because he takes super strength pills...
