Week 3, Day 3

Bless Your Blessing

This is a task this week that asks you to go for a twenty minute walk and just praise the things around. Give thanks to everything that is going on around you. The clothing you are fortunate enough to have, the sky, the sun, everything. It is essentially about realizing all the great things in the world that you probably don't notice on a day to day basis. The goal of this I'm sure is to really look at the world around you and not always get stuck inside the world you create in your head. Yesterday I did this task and I did find that it raised my general spirit for a while. It was hard to stay focused on giving thanks, but I think I got the idea of the exercise. Perhaps the next time I feel down in the dumps I'll go for a walk and focus on everything I have to be happy about.

Luke

Last night I finished reading Mark and this morning started Luke. It gave some details about the relationship of Jesus and John the Baptist, the connection at birth and the angel Gabriel. I have heard of that specific angel many times, but now I know exactly why. It's very interesting for me to hear about all the ties in together and such. I'm enjoying it more and more the further I go. I think I want to study up on religion, all over the board. The topic is very interesting to me, I really enjoy people having faith, and I'm really trying to figure out exactly where mine fits in. It's always important to believe in yourself, but I think it's pretty important to believe in something outside of yourself too.

CHECK

This week I have to make a collage of images that I rip out of magazines while I have focused thought on a topic in my life that I might have questions about. The idea is to then place the images together and see what idea and clarity comes from it. I think I might do this tomorrow, but I have to find magazines somewhere!
