a noteable first

a street, amountain & a bird, taken a while ago,
i didn't find an appropiate place to use it till now.

well, today was the first time i went to church by myself in my whole entire life... seriously. it's a big deal eventhough i played it off as just another day.. i was just a bit late walking in the door so i took a seat on the last pew in the back.. teddy spoke today and he was pretty funny in a lame kinda a way, so that's possibly why i could relate to him easily. he spoke about "shifting" .. i guess the general gist of todays message could be summarized this passage . it basically was about shifting one's attention from the worries of everyday life, letting go of the proverbial branch which we think keeps us from falling, and trust that even if we fall, that we will land on our feet. not to say be reckless and stupid, but to conciously go forward and live for the day, and let tomorrow worry about itself. what we pay attention to is what we are, and if we constantly worry about everything, it will paralyze us and we'll never go forward. i do 'worry' about alot of things, maybe it's not 'worry' per se, but a show of concern for family, friends and myself for that matter....hmph. not a bad first for me, not bad at all.....now to unwrap this new book that she got me i've been meaning to read. i think it starts with "in the beginning..."
