sunday driving.

if you have a car, you should treat yourself to a little drive around town. roll down your windows, let the breeze in and blast some tunes. it really is a mood lifter.

i just purchased the new arcade fire album. i would suggest doing so. a mix of folk and rock n' roll. can't go wrong with that. true talent gets lost in the trash that is so often blaring from most radios. sometimes you have to dig to find musical treasures, but in the end it is always (always!) worth it.

one thought that has been consuming my mind is: "what am i doing with my life???" i am a "post-grad" who has just four measly credits to finish up. i work as a nanny at the moment. i have friends who are traveling the world and who have "adult" jobs. i find myself looking at their lives from the outside and think, why can't i have that? why don't i have that? i have to force myself to stop and think (breathe) for a moment. sometimes we so often forget to live life because we are consumed with the lives of others. if you don't thrive in your own life, who will? that would be a life wasted and that would be a horrible thing. not every minute has to be considered "epic." sometimes, in quiet moments, life happens....and when we enjoy the quiet and the right now, it just prepares us for something more amazing. we have to be patient. be at peace. ...we just have to be.
