Questions questions questions
Flashed across my mind
One after another
At the speed of light

Is this what life is about?
Is there more to living?
An endless drain of energy
Why is it so tiring?

Growing up was fine
Hopes and dreams galore
Career was a matter of passion
Gaining independence and more

What I see now is so different
Pressure and responsibilities
Weighing heavily on my shoulders
Almost crushing me

(big hugggssssssss) You know, that is what people are MAKING life about, but just because that's a fact doesn't mean this is what life IS about! No, life is so much more and people don't realize it very often, they have wrong impressions of what freedom is, like they think driving a car is freedom. No, sorry, wrong, but thanks for playing!!! Driving has more responsibilities than ever, you have to obey the rules, fellow passengers, and your own attitude, or you can get penalized! (sad sigh) If only everyone knew what real life is all about, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Florence, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

i think the key is to take some time out to cultivate some hobbies not at all related to the job, even when it seems that you are dead tired and all you want to do is sleep. helps to give us a sense of purpose and one needn't derive all his self worth from his job....

think you are doing fine with your swimming. any frontiers that you will like to conquer?

hope life doesn't feel so draining now...
