I guess this is sort of an update. Life is GREAT! I have started at Sprint and the training is trying but I love it! I got a free flu shot and its kicking my butt. The registration on my car STILL hasn't come in and I have 3 days until it expires (waiting for the title)...its ok. There is always room for improvement but all I know is that life feels new. I feel refreshed and ready to take it all on with my head held up high!
On November 18, 2006, I, Rosemarie Lynne Sengmany-Brauning, was Baptized as the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Can't explain how excited I am. It doesn't seem like a whole lot for most people but I know in my heart what I need to do for my life to be full....
I was reading 'Tuesdays with Morrie' last night and bookmarked a page that had a quote that I truly believe in. I bookmarked it because I wanted to share it with you THAT MUCH!
So many people walk around with such a meaningless life.They seem half asleep, even when they're busy doing things that seem inportant. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to the community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
Wow...did that hit home for you? The quoted was dying of ALS and the author was describing the last few visits he had with his mentor and his friend. I was talking to Scott the other day and I was kinda wrapped up in the classroom gossip at Sprint and you know what he said when I was annoyed? He said, "You have to be the Zen Master, Rose. It has no relevence to your life. After the class is over you go home..." and he is right. I know he's right and yet I was falling into the mindless chatter and anger that can't control my thoughts and make me angry if i don't let it. Mind over Matter! I always seemed to have a specific outlook on life but I never could pinpoint it. I put a little icon/picture/poster thing on my profile that is white with pink writing and in black in the very center says 'Life just isn't'. I put it up because it has so much meaning to me. I feel the words and it moves me to tears if I'm taking all the words in my heart with no judgement and no interrupting thoughts about each sentence. Kristye wrote a comment about it and she put the bug in my ear to re-read it. How ridiculously true!!!
Well guys. That is about it. I would write more but I need to scoot and get a move on the road. It snowed last night and I heard sleet on the glass this morning. Ranee wrote a blog 'asians can't drive'...it was a dedication to my airy stepmom but its sort of true. Unless they're part of a racing crew, I know no one in my family can drive. Ha! BETTER LEAVE AN HOUR AND SOME EARLIER TODAY!
Have a wonderful day everyone. And know. I just adore you to peices!!!
