life

sometimes i forget to live life. whether i'm too busy or not busy enough, i forget to enjoy each moment for what it's worth.

this weekend was a good weekend.
on friday night i sat on my couch and watched a good movie.
saturday morning i helped some friends move.
saturday afternoon i cleaned and organized and spent some time in the sunshine at the pool.
saturday evening i ate a wonderful cookie at austin java with a friend i don't see often.
sunday i slept in, had breakfast with my roommate and watched a movie.
i called my mom for mother's day.
i spent the day resting and reading.
sunday evening i went to church and got in bed by 9:00.

and i enjoyed every minute of it.

too often i get caught up in doing things, making plans in advance to ensure productivity, and working really hard to make sure i get to rest - so hard, in fact, that those plans don't actually end up very restful.

and now that i'm finished with the first draft of my thesis i'm finding myself with much more time to do things i want to do. i'm finding more time to watch movies. more time to go sit at a coffee shop and just talk. more time for things like baseball games and afternoons at the pool. i am very thankful for this time. and i'm excited to see what new things i get to do with it.
