1. I graduated college with a bachelors degree.
2. I have two jobs at local hospitals.
3. I was recently accepted into Physicians Assistant school: the greatest accomplishment of my small and inconsequential life.
All three things make me happy. It took me 2 years to put the finger on where I wanted to be- but I have arrived. Hallelujah. To all who helped me reach my decision, much thanks. To all who believed in me on my long and taxing journey through late nights of work and early mornings of school- you rock.
But despite all the excitement, joy, and anticipation that awaits me- there has been an uneasiness within me. I had a recent encounter at work where I heard someone say something negative about me, it was in passing and the person had not intended for it to be heard by me. It bothered me and I handled it like a 5 year old girl (you can draw your own conclusions on what happened). But this leads me to the weeks social experiment.
Get rid of the noise. My life is consumed in iPods, television, car radio, people talking, podcasts, instruments, dish washers, furnaces etc. I choose to put on pleasing music or interesting radio shows to escape the real sounds around me- and maybe thats why I am so sensitive when I hear what is real. The next week I am going to commit to no radio in the car and no Ipod when I run. I will use my me time to listen to the sounds around me. Maybe I will become less self conflicted, or maybe I will just appreciate deliberate sounds more when the week ends.
Either way- its the willingness and desire to change something that is getting me to act- hopefully you'll follow suit in some capacity!
hear whats real- listen to yourself- listen with yourself
peace
