and today dear readers, I am pulling the plug.

{as shown by this previous post} I find myself over-stimulated and over-stuffed. I feel like I have too much distraction. So I've decided to retreat into nature like Henry David Thoreau...kind of. Actually, not really. I am just trying to get on facebook less, blog only when I feel really inspired to do so, and not listen to music in my car. In fact, the not listening to music in my car has seemed to work. I have been so much more creative these past few days because the silence gives me time to clear my head and really think. 

“	I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.	”
	— Henry David Thoreau, Walden, "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For"  and after going on the march for life, [awesome experience--if you ever have the chance to, GO!] I've realized that I need to give a better effort to my dwindling prayer life. So I've decided to keep a prayer journal in which I state a quote, reflect upon the day, state my prayer intentions, and then end by reflecting on the things that I'm thankful for. I'm trying to dedicate my self and be focused on a time of self improvement. We'll see how this goes. {and how long it lasts.} and since I'm probably boring yall, here's pictures from the march! and I just want to throw in there... I LOVE DC
