This is not good, I need to slap myself back awake. I've been so busy with school, Michael, life etc that I have not been feeding my spirit, I've barely even been journaling (which I believe can be a spiritual exercise). I have not been exercising (proper blood flow and all that is also spiritually strengthening, I have found) either. I need to get my butt in gear and give my spirit some attention, separate from the chores of daily life (mostly--after all, some of those daily life chores I've been neglecting contribute to spiritual well-being, like cleaning up a disorganized, messy space).

I need to begin getting some focus back and I can't let finals be my excuse. I haven't meditated in a long while either, nor have I had any contact with forests yet (I wish I had a car just so I could make at least a weekly trip to the nature preserves we have nearby--I mean we're only a half hour from three different preserves for goodness sakes!). I wish I could find someone who loved doing that, someone with a car that we could make a weekly trip out of it, we wouldn't even have to talk, just go out there and enjoy the forest, walk the trails and appreciate it in silence (not that we couldn't talk sometimes too lol). I thought I'd found that someone a few times but they ended up not being as interested, not nearly.

Well, I'm gonna go brush my teeth, wash my face and pass out, I know that's a funny plan for someone who just said she needs to pay more attention to her spirit, but this spirit is tired and has to go to church tomorrow morning to make her mom happy on mother's day. Hey, just because I said I need to pay more attention to my spirit does not mean I was talking about religion ^_~ Church puts me to sleep as it is, let alone that I'm only going to get 6 hours if I fall asleep RIGHT NOW before I go lol.

As a side note, I must point out that, while I have been neglecting my spiritual needs, I have still been working on certain enviromental projects. I'm going to be posting a fairly interesting intimacy piece soon, so be forwarned. I have a topic on mind to talk about and it's going to be pretty um...adult, though I think any teen should read it and be aware, I'd say any kid, but it is a rather serious topic and one most parents don't want their kids knowing about...although I think every parent should talk to their kids about this stuff. Anyway, I've got a serious, adult topic in mind for intimacy, so keep a look out for it, I think it's information everyone should make themselves aware of. I think I will title it something like: "Penetrating the Heart of it"

Ja ne!
