New Thoughts, New Things...

As it turns out, we didn't head down to Alabama; we went to Denver instead. Not as exotic? Yeah, but the perfect trip for me right now! To begin with I didn't think that I liked the state-but then I made it to Colorado Springs, which initially didn't impress me much either-but which grew on me. It made me start thinking about the planet and just how great it is. I have been reading scriptures again recently and it wasn't going to smooth, sometimes I sort of want to die when I'm reading, then a very wise man told me to forget just reading straight through them and to pick topics I want to study and run with those. So I decided to give it a shot. I totally hippie-d out my scriptures. I have been systematically going through the TG and BD and Index finding scriptures that relate specifically to 5 categories
-Peace and Love
-Nature, Earth and the Cosmos
-Knowledge, Wisdom, and Learning
-Mind, Body, Spirit
-Happiness and Joy
Do you realize just how much of the modern works fall into these categories?? Oh man, and the best part is that from these starting points I've found so much to delve into! I'm starting to see what they mean when they say that once you start searching and studying that it becomes addictive!!
I have also started trying to learn to play the guitar (I know one song so far, Life Love and Laughter). I also have decided that I want to try my hand at photography AND I'm making active efforts to learn espanol again. Being busy is the best though. All of this stuff on top of longboarding and bike rides are getting me all fired up for summer :)
