Quarter of a Century
I am finally 25. How do I feel you ask? I feel great, I feel capable, I feel strong, I feel happy, and somewhat contented. Although I probably will never be fully contented Im at peace. I have people that love me and want to see the best for me. Im being myself. If I could just transcend all the daily hassles of life, especially the financial ones, Id be in heaven. But who wouldn't?
"There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God." This is mentioned more then 5 times in the book of Ecclesiastes in one way or another. It is my guiding word in life. I only write it now because it was the word of the day on Way FM radio. It made me think, "Hey, I'm enjoying the work I do and the life I live. Things may change, but I will be contented with what God has for me in this life" That thought alone makes me happy when times are rough and at their worst.
There are still many things I want to do in this life, but they all come in good time. One of my biggest urges still is to get to China. Another one is to go back to college to be a professional or a professor. ;-) A third is to start my own business. A fourth is to get married and have kids. A fifth is to start a band, and get more into music and film. A sixth is to be a better rock climbing and a skier. A seventh is to complete the Ironman in Hawaii. Seven is a very complete number. I know I talked about completeness before and how unobtainable is seems to be, but accomplishing these seven things, some vague, some not so vague, would make me a very contented person indeed.
The only one Im not really working toward now, that I want to start working toward, is going back to college. I want to be more of an expert in some field, and I know I dont have to go back to college to do that, but I realize, as much as I like sales and as much as I am great at it, I know I dont want to do it for the rest of my life. At least not in the capacity I do it now. Im thinking Im going to stick it out with Mcguyver Painting just because it seems like the best way for me to go through college and still work to make enough money at the same time. My goal is to be back in college by next fall 2006. One year from now Ill be headed to university. Those of you who are my encouragers please keep on me about it.
Tonight we are having a party to celebrate my b-day. Im so excited. The days and the years sure go by fast. My friend Alex is getting married in October. Another one younger then me getting married. haha. I just think its funny how things work out in the end. Especially how we cant predict anything it seems. I love it! Until next time... Via con Dios.
