Thank Goodness for Days Off!

Hello Weekend! (Yes, I know its Monday to the world, but it's Saturday to me!) Today is going to be a semi lazy day. Clean my room, do some laundry, cook some yummy dinner. Yup, that's it. I suppose not much has really happened in the exciting field since last Friday. A few hard days at work. Some meditation. Some jammin out to awesome music. That would be the extent of my life. I try to live things simply. Thoreau said it best, "Allow the cares of your life to fit on the nail of your thumb." (Please don't test the quote, it's not spot on!) Nevertheless, I believe he was on to something. To truly live a life of peace, you must not overwhelm yourself with too many cares or stresses. Therefore, I am trying to bring my life down to as many simplicities as possible.

I've been reading the book of Buddha here lately, and am truly inspired by it. Did you know he was the prince of a fairly large kingdom, and in his mid twenties he decided to up and leave it all behind in search of true spiritual enlightenment? He became aware that material things were just that. Nothing really mattered except the sanctity of your own soul. He left everything to wander off in the woods for 6 years. If I new I wouldn't die, I would do the same. I can barely survive in a house, let alone in the woods! Ha!

I wish I had more to write, and I suppose really I do. But it's 11am. Dinner is at 5, and I have a good bit to accomplish today.

Going to do my best to post again soon. It's difficult with limited access to the internet.
