Belated Summer Cleaning

I have come to realize that there are many distractions in my life. Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but too many distractions can get... cumbersome to say the least. There is no way to balance the ghosts of the past, the expectations of the present, and the goals of the future all in a single lifetime. We're only human and capable of understanding only so much. However, we do have free will.Instead of trying to do everything at once, I am now going to make a concious effort to enjoy the smaller things in life. That which is immediately obtainable, but without losing sight of my main goals. School starts in a little over a month... that gives me just enough time to think things through and really consider what actually requires my attention. To distinguish this from the ordinary 'junk' that keeps popping in and out of our everyday lives is an extraordinary ability indeed. It is now time to focus.
