So I was talking to one of my wise friends. We were having a conversation about church stuff. I was telling him my worries and frustrations and my hopes. But then he said something to me that just stopped me for a second. He asked, "What in your life are you happy and satisfied with right now?" So I stopped and thought for a second and realized... I am not really happy with very much right now. My jobs are ok (I do like church but I want full time somewhere), my family is awesome but it is crazy stressful at home a lot of the time, church life has been crazy and stressful; so much of my mindset will probably be frustrated.... because I am frustrated and tired.
I was really glad he asked me that question. It was one of those questions that even when you move past the question in conversation it still just stick in your mind.... because you know it is a question you need to ask yourself (or maybe it is a comment that is true that you can't stop thinking about). He knew when he asked me the question what the answer was.
I love talking to that friend. We are almost polar opposites... he is quiet, I am not, he loves time alone, I could be around people all the time, I love music, art and thinking creatively, he might like music and art but I don't think he can do either of them extremely well; he is great at business and organization, lets just say organization isn't a strong point of mine and lastly he is not to great at technology (ok he is not very good at all), I on the other hand have a degree in it.... and I know there are a lot of other thing we are different in BUT that must be why I like talking to him so much... I get a totally different perspective a lot of times. I need that... I know I need that. ( So, if you read this thank you... for taking time to talk).

And I thank you for taking time to write. Sometimes I lie in bed writing blogs in my head but when it come time to put words to paper or keyboard, they are lost to me. I wish I could find them at that time because I think it would be beneficial to be able to look at them again and reevaluate see where I came from, grown, how sillie I was or whatever. Thanks again for sharing.
