Priority Dissonance aka Procrastination

I am still quite busy doing "work" however...I do need to keep track of this website address but it will have to be checked later...

I was checking through the tweets on my Twitter page and I found this link...

Settling Down

It has been a while since my last blog. I will be finding pockets of time in the next few days to do some personal building and rebuilding. I have identified five projects to begin before summer's end.
  • Programming
  • PasMin/Hebrew/Greek
  • Reading (At least War and Peace and several Karen Kingsbury topics)
  • Writing
  • 'Rithmetic (actually Calc)
It may be the first summer when I am not swamped with work. I am glad. I have an impromptu meeting. Until then...

I remember..

I remember my grandparents' house
On Good Friday morning
Six or seven children all gathered
Around the television
We watched the Jesus of Nazareth
for what felt like six hours
While thinking long and hard upon
that never-dissipating hunger

I remember the bun and cheese and going to
Auntie's house for dinner
Not much was done outside
Just took in a brief moment of sunshine
For dinner time I'm sure was fish
And I am sure that I enjoyed it
But the hunger still never left
No matter what we ate

Now it has been a while now
And things have changed so much
The same programs have not been shown that much
And the ones they do are shorter
But i love the memory of Good
Friday at our grandparent's house on

What Can Happen in a Day

Something interesting about my last post...I am not really a poetry "buff" but I sat helping an adult student to get some work completed and since I had been so busy lately I resorted to writing just like I did in a meeting I had a few days earlier...

I wrote about the journey to the hotel as a woman was to meet her friends and have a time of fun and enjoyment. Stereotypical it was, but it did take my mind off the monotony of the meeting. I had to step out and when I got back I could not find the paper. I could not get my mind off of it but it turns out though that it fell behind my chair just where I could not see it.

I am looking forward to May, June, July and August. Lots to read, lots to read about writing and lots to try out in writing. Yaayyy!

I'm supposed to check out this website later...(from JL_C via Twitter)

When One Gets Too Busy

To wind your way out of the present
When you get too busy
The cares and battles of today
Drive you to a tizzy
Deadlines, research and paper work, oh what pressure!
Type this email, send that paper to the paper shredder!

"What must I be doing now" you ask
As you fatten up your planner
"I really should prioritize in an organized manner!"
Can you jump of the treadwheel, take a rest, oh what a dream!
You want to run away right now, hold your head and scream!

Instead just turn your head
to the sky in prayer
Let go of every other thing, find peace and truth you hear
Do not abandon all your plans, you will definitely need them later
But the time you spend to refocus may make your achievements even greater
