The month of October cleansing is going quite well, my cravings are very sparse, so it is nowhere near as tough as I expected. This is great news, my will power is in check and i am building confidence.
My cooking continues to flourish as i made marinated in beer chicken breasts, roasted beet chips and rice with peas and corn. I also started making cucumber lemon water, which is VERY refreshing and Michelle loves it too, so that's great!
I am almost at the count of 40 new books read throughout this year, which is most I have ever read and that does make me feel great about myself. I have finished reading the biography of Steve Jobs, (checking on amazon i also found Einsteins biography by the same author Isaacson so i'm requesting it through the library) which was a great read and allowed me to see Apple products and the company in a much better light (simply because i learned about both), I also finished a quick read of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. It was touching and eye opening. After all, the only difference between those who are afflicted with terminal disease and 'the rest of us' is just knowing the approximately precise moment of death. We all falsely assume that we're going to live until we're old, and able to see not just our children but our grandchildren also. This is certainly not the case, because our lives are just as fragile and we're in the dark about knowing how much time we have on this planet. People in their 20s expect to reach their 30s and therefore are holding off to achieve their dreams. But we don't have a whole bunch of time reserved. I am a sinner in this regard just as much as the next person, but at least i am aware of it. I have plans for the future that I am waiting for to get started on. Am i waiting for permission? or terminal desease? am i waiting for my life to be 'more stable'? or a more secure job? Perhaps just the very last point - a job that I know will be relatively stable that I won't have to worry about it for at least few years. I am turning 25 in few months and I have this nagging coming from myself (and partially the society) that i need to 'get my shit together' and, honestly, the ONLY reason that's stopping me is myself. I am the sole reason I don't take actions. Simple as pie.
As a little extra awesomeness in my life, I have been recognized at a Top Performer from the summer camp I worked at many summers. They are inviting me for a banquet and presentation during the winter which I am EXTREMELY excited about, and also a little humbled. It just shows to prove me that I'm doing the right thing and have my work ethic in check. That is quite good news.
Here is a short list of possible and probable events I may indulge myself and those around me in next few weeks:
Renascence Fair or Lake Compounce
Friends Wedding
Boston trip with Sex Toy Bingo
Pumpkin Picking
Halloween Celebrations
The list is a good reminder that my days are nowhere near dull enough to skip on blogging. Things are always moving I just need to slow down and pay attention :)
