breathe in, breathe out.

i received an unexpected package in the mail last week from an old friend. a book on positive energy. and despite the mass amounts of reading i have assigned for class this month, i'm trying to find time to devote to this personal reading quest.

and i began yesterday with the introduction... maybe a bit skeptical, but willing to try anything rather than admit perceived "failure" to myself. and it's interesting. truly interesting. and it has me thinking a lot. and looking at myself (something i tend to put off).

the walls i've erected over the years are steadfast and sometimes i even marvel at where they may end and "i" begin, but i want to change. i want to know myself. i want to be in tune.

and so i breathe in. and breathe out. and breathe in. and breathe out. and focus. focus.

(and try to remember to be present)... in my own life.
