Woops, I skipped yesterday! But there was just so much fun stuff happening I didn't make it back to my dorm until late. So a website. I highly recommend zenhabits.net. Loren showed it to me and I check it every few days now because there are some good tips on there.
Alright so anyway, yesterday was pretty busy. Kara was able to convince her mom to giver her the money for the longboard we found in Yakima last week, so after my English class Kara, Rose, Nathan, and I headed down to Yakima to buy it. It's such a nice longboard! It was $165 including wheels and trucks and the board itself, but I had a 20% off card for the store so it ended up being more like $133 or something like that, which was nice. I bought a really really cool blue hat there that I had seen last time and loved so I figured if it was the only one and it was still at the store, then we were meant to be! Either that or I just have really bad taste in hats.
We also stopped at the Target at Yakima and got hairdye :) I am now much blonder than I was in that picture from Sunday that I posted on here! Much much much blonder. Taking some time getting used to it, I don't really recognize my own reflection and it freaked me out this morning! Kara dyed my hair for me last night after Nathan and I were finished with our Theater class.
So now on this list of things I suppose I'm a day behind! Oh well, I figured I would miss a day or two anyway.
Web-site ... hmmm ... I look at the NOAA Weather site a lot, and CNN for a 30 second catch up on what's happening around. Enjoyed the web-site you mentioned and it does seem like a good place now and then for helpful tips. But I fnd most web-sites, as David Keire says, "89% crap!"
ReplyDeleteI have tried to read Ekhart Tolle (?) but his books and style are put-off for me. In his last big book he started out by saying most people are insane and went on to explain that. I think anybody who thinks most people are insane has a serious cog missing in their scheme of classifying people! I also think the concepts of mindfulness and the non-judgemental practices are very important because they get you to slow down, let your physical self relax and get out of the flight or fight mode, and reduce harmful stress. I think even doing that two or three times a day for just a couple minutes is so helpful to minimize the nasty effects of chronic stress.
But .. sometime you must judge, you must look ahead and plan, and look back and learn. Some people are just plain bad, and so are lots of behaviors and thoughts and especially preachings and advertisements. Tune out is not good all the time either.
I smell food - bye ...
