I'm am going to have to push my self to grow. Plain and simple. I'm not often a highly modivated mover and shaker. It is part of the ended up where I was.
book: I'm taking recommendations on books. I'm thinking I'd like non-fiction right now, facts, truth, reality.
Learn new things and confront a fear will be going hand and hand most likely. I can't say much else about it as I can hardly belive I'm going to do it.
Physical: I used to walk many miles perday when I lived in Salem. I used to play Ultimate Frisbee in Salem durring the summer. I used to go on hikes, and trips with Chris for the day just because we could. All of these things have essentially stopped since moving to Eugene.
I guess my sister told my Dad. All I told my sister was that Tiffany and I wern't together. I didn't have to say much about it to my Dad, he understood. About all I said was that I did it. He knew why and was proud I had the guts and gumption to do it cause he knew it wasn't easy as he has been there before and witnessed people just let things carry on longer than they should have.
My friends new and old are still amazing me and reaching out to me. I'm very lucky to have the friends and Family that I have and am greatful for them everyday.

Posted by: dusty on April 24, 2005 11:24 AMI know what you mean about needing to get active. I've been so busy with school that I haven't had the time or energy to get out there.
I've been meaning to hike Spencer's Butte for a while, and it just hasn't happened. Maybe try disc golf, if you liked ultimate- Eugene has 2 parks, as well as a newish one at Dexter.

Posted by: Nathan on April 24, 2005 02:42 PMMy suggestion for some nonfiction reading would be an introduction to Buddhism. It may help you with some of what you're going through (and it's fascinating stuff).
"Buddhism Plain and Simple" is a good one for an overview.

Posted by: bonnie on April 25, 2005 12:26 AMbuddhism may be relevant. also check out "the art of happiness" by the dalai lama. it's good stuff.
don't check out nathan's books, all his stuff has wierd cyborgs and/or wizards....
Posted by: dusty on April 25, 2005 05:30 PMGot any feelings toward poetry? I love Rumi's stuff. It makes life seem so natural, even when looking out the window may state otherwise.
So you want to get physical, eh? I'm looking to climb El Capitan in Yosemite Valley in June, not far off from my birthday. You, me, Chris if he wants to, the full moon, and a bottle of wine. What do you think?
