Wondering.

 I spend too much time wondering.
Wondering and thinking, about life, about people, about situations, about what has happened, about what is happening, about what might happen. Instead of just living in the moment, I'm mostly in another time frame - in the past, in the future.
I intellectualise.
I analyse.
I project and plan and evaluate.
All the time.
I spend too much thinking that I end up doing less.
Does that ever happen to you?

    I'm sitting around, scanning old notes from high school. Basically crap I've been toting around for 20 years now, but never bothering to read.

I get that now, but didn't understand it then. She also included a version of this poem where she changed a few minor things.

    I'm only commenting because you may find it humorous that she lifted the poem you've posted here from Danielle Steele and didn't attribute it to her. I know I find it funny.

Almost unbearably hot.  And I've decided that I want to live on the coast in an area where it's mostly autumn/winter.    {I want cool, misty, wet days somewhere where it's green and quiet and beautiful.} Somewhere where it looks something like this:  A girl can dream, right?

I love what I do.

image credig: weheartit I want to write about how much I love what I do.  Let me start at the beginning. I took a big risk at the beginning of 2010.   After much thought and deliberation I quit my job ( which I really didn't like - it was the last of a string of not-so-great jobs I've taken which were leading nowhere ) and slid back into the world of being a full-time student.   Yes, a full-time student.   How great is that? And this at 30! I still feel very lucky to have been able to make this decision.  My career was going nowhere and I felt it was time ( at last ) to further develop the skills and talents I was given. It was time to do what I actually want to, to do what I was good at. So I enrolled for the Postgraduate Diploma in Translation course at Stellenbosch University. I passed the entry exams and before I knew it I was sitting in a class filled with like-minded people with a passion for words. It was nerve-wrecking at first and I suddenly felt unsure of my
