| Mental Clarity |
Feeling the warm sun kiss my face, listening to the subtle and soothing sounds of the ocean water cleansing the sand, I find clarity. Clarity over thoughts I've struggled with over the course of a day, issues I pondered and fretted over were finally understood as I quietly sat on the sandy beach listening to my own breath.
I think in this day and age where we're forced to rush through our lives working longer hours, spending less time at home and more at work for less an hour, do we have the "time" to take a moment for mental clarity? Just as we apply security patches to our computers and dust the dirt from our picture frames, we, as individuals, as sentient beings, must remove the cloud of dust that plague our minds and clear it of obstacles before we can resolve or identify solutions. Why do we take coffee breaks? To provide a short break from the mundane and engage, maybe, in idle conversation with other sentient beings. The issue: mundane tasks, the solution: short break, end result: clear mind. Doesn't matter if it's a coffee break, a walk around the block, or a quite meditation, the end result is the same, a clear mind. Make the time for yourself and achieve mental clarity.
The last thing I do before I close my eyes each night is reflect on my day...review my accomplishments and struggles, and appreciate that I had another day to see the world, hear the living sounds, feel the warmth of the sun and cool breeze of the wind, enjoy my daughter's smile, and cherish the ability to breathe on my own.
I have achieved my own mental clarity and looking forward to another day. |

Some Personal Stuff: I enjoy listening to my computer hum (it makes me so sleepy), driving the speed limit, blogging, and eating tomatoes and cheese. I like to whistle in public with a big smile on my face and say hello to complete strangers.
