This Moment

J.M.J.



I don't often write about the mundane details of my life. I think that no one cares. I mean, I don't even care. The truth is, though, that every single small detail of your life matters. It means something. It is propelling you towards your goal. What is your goal? Have you considered what that is? Let's take a look at what I'm doing right now, and where it's directing me (or not directing me):

  • Listening to coffee house music (I'm not at a coffee house, it's a Spotify playlist)
  • Drinking water
  • Wearing my pajamas and robe, unbrushed hair and all
  • Writing this blog post before nine on a Saturday morning
  • Sitting in a slouched position (so bad)
  • I have my space heater on
  • My peach-scented wallflower is plugged in
  • I'm thinking pretty hard about all the things I normally don't pay any attention to
  • I'm starting to feel more awake.
Okay. Looking at all this stuff, it doesn't say much, except, she needs to get a life. (I have one, trust me.) Next step: going deeper.

I wanted something chill to listen to, and any playlist with the word "coffee" in it is as good as listened to. Actually, give me anything with the word "coffee" or the picture of it or the actual real thing and I'm sold. 

Water is the essence of life. I'm trying to be healthier. And it helps that my Drink Your Water app reminds me and I love it at the end of the day to see that my goal has been reached. So now that has become my positive reinforcement. Whatever it takes, right? (Kind of sad that it took an app to make me drink water. Anyway.)

I'm being kind of lazy this morning, I'll admit, but there's nothing wrong with that. I have nothing pressing to do, and no one can see me. Now you just have that mental image. You're welcome.

Hey, at least I'm up! A lot of people are still sleeping (good for them, seriously.) 

Yeah, I should really sit up more. I should also exercise more. And eat healthier. I should, I should, I should...

It's not overly cold outside but the heater takes the chill off.

I like my room to smell nice and this helps with that. 

Weird that I sat using my phone for about forty-five minutes playing games and answering e-mails and it wasn't until I started writing a blog post that I felt like my mind was finally alert. Go figure.

All right, so I really don't see what the purpose of all this is...so I guess I'm supposed to go even deeper!

Okay, so I'm lazy and I like coffee, and writing wakes my brain up. I have to be actually typing though, that tap-tapping on my phone keyboard doesn't cut it apparently. 

Voila, there you go. Hope you weren't bored to death.

May God bless your day abundantly!
Stephanie

Movie Review: Joan of Arc

-

The 1948 version of Joan of Arc with Ingrid Bergman is an excellent movie, and is also pretty family-friendly. I admire Ingrid Bergman's great acting abilities. She can cry on cue, and shows great emotion at every moment she is focused on. Joan is a fourteen year old girl who is hearing voices from Heaven. She is supposed to lead God's Army against Orleans and crown the Dauphin, Charles VII, as King of France. She does succeed in conquering Orleans. When her army prepares to march against Paris, King Charles sells his country to England. Unfortunately, Joan is then arrested, sold, and subjected to horrible trials that are political, though she is accused of being a heretic and a witch. She was only doing the will of God. There were a couple of faults in this movie. For example, Joan's hair should have grown if she was really on trial for five months. Also, some of the Latin words during the coronation ceremony were mispronounced. The film elements were appropriately si...

Ash Wednesday

Try to understand another's point of view. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in ourselves that we do not even regard the other person's opinions. Effective practice of this technique is called dual perspective (thank you, Interpersonal Communication class!) This means that you fully respect both yours and the other individual's unique viewpoint. In doing so, you can both practice humility and develop your listening skills simultaneously! Saint of the Day Wednesday, February 13, 2013 St. Giles Mary of St. Joseph (1729-1812) In the same year that a power-hungry Napoleon Bonaparte led his army into Russia, Giles Mary of St. Joseph ended a life of humble service to his Franciscan community and to the citizens of Naples. Francesco was born in Taranto to very poor parents. His father’s death left the 18-year-old Francesco to care for the family. Having secured their future, he entered the Friars Minor at Galaton...

Stress: It's Where I'm At

J.M.J. Wow...long time no talk. I've been busy. More accurately, I just haven't made time to write. I think that I'm too busy but the truth is, I didn't feel like writing. I've been so stressed out! I've been worrying about everything. I started taking online classes this semester and let me tell you, the experience hasn't been good. I'm surviving the academic load but I'm thinking that this career idea isn't the one for me. I thought I wanted to be a counseling psychologist but all the stress and anxiety that these courses are bringing me is telling me something else. All of this stress has been leading to a lack of sleep. I don't have to tell you that this makes life a lot harder than normal. Add to that work, my social life, and school, and I'm one weighed down individual. Woe is me, right? I've been praying, trying to ask God why I'm having all these issues. I'd never choose to go through this, but I...
