sunday tut.
aside from my regular 9-5 job, i find myself wanting to learn to the fullest without actually stepping foot inside a school. there’s a little bit of fear and regret still lingering in that department, but that’s another story. i’ve been reading books, magazines, blogs (of course), free ibooks that come on my phone (they rock!), news articles, independent magazines, cookbooks (LOVE!!!!!!) – you name it. i find i jump all over the place which keeps my brain happy and my thoughts flowing.
i’ve been working on this blog. in the background. the behind the scenes.
you know when a movie ends, the credits roll, everyone gets up and leaves? well – i don’t. i stay. some of my favourite moments with mohawk are when we’re sitting in a movie theatre, lights are lifted ever so slightly and the movie theatre staff start filtering in with brooms. yes, i realize they must dislike folks like me – who stay until the very end.
three reasons i do this.
- you never know if there might be a teaser or a fun blooper at the end. if there is, yippee! you are part of the select few who got to view this secret part of the film. and doesn’t it feel awesome?!?!
- you have time to relax, reflect and/or talk and discuss with the person you came with. did you enjoy it? did you relate with any of the characters? could you believe the action scenes?
- reading the credits. the names of the people who put that entire film together. i realize that there is a ridiculous amount of work that happens behind the scenes and i want to celebrate those folks. mohawk likes to try to find funny job titles. i like names of people. so i read them to myself. as many as i can. i like to think a feeling of warm fuzzies comes over the people whose names i read. ridiculous, i know. but it makes me happy.
with blogs – there are also credits. just the list is usually a lot shorter. only now am i starting to realize there are REAL genuine people behind all these amazing blogs i read. real people who also have crazy lives, hopes, and dreams just like me.
i realize i’m not perfect. nowhere near. and neither is this blog. but that’s okay. we’re all constantly finding our way. bumps and bruises are to be expected. i’m barely skimming the surface into my hopes for what this blog will become.
here’s to taking all my reading into implementing. and being a little more honest. with myself – and with all of you who read this little blog.
i have given myself two focus words for this coming month. organize and intention. forgive me if i disappear from time to time with my postings or if the site looks strange one day and different the next. i’m not forgetting about you – just getting a little organized first.
happy sunday – wherever you are.
