Sometimes. Oh sometimes your mind just gets carried away. You have all these thoughts. About things. And sometimes it's good to just share the thoughts. It's true on blogs, sometimes you run across blogs basically about the events side of things and sometimes you find people that focus on the feelings side of things. I believe both are wonderful. I love to hear about the details of events in everyone's lives and I love to hear about everyone's heartfelt feelings. I seemed to have focused on the events side of things and so I'm busting out with some feelings here!! :)
Lately, I've been feeling a little... not as full of love as I usual. It's been strange because a vibrant piece of my identity has always been just loving life and everything really. After some reflection and peaceful moments, I have come to a few conclusions!! In my 23 years of life, I have these little epiphanies now and again. I'm sure you've all had them. That's why I love our minds. They are always progressing, and processing, and connecting and get in sync with our hearts. It's so cool. But, I'm getting on a tangent. So, I wish I could articulate my epiphanies into a wise morsel of inspiration, but I suppose I'm not experienced enough to come up with that quite yet. See if you can follow this as my conclusive thoughts from this past little while!! Do y'all ever feel this way? Sometimes, just sometimes, you go through miniature identity crisises. Honestly, I don't know what spins you into them sometimes. Also, sometimes you have, what I call, identity absolutes. You just feel so fabulous, like who you really are, in touch with your likes and passions and all that and with so much momentum. In between those two, you are just you and doing swell. When the mini identity crisis spurs, like I have for just a time here, I have realized it's a choice how to handle it and grow and become a better you. Nothing monumental... praying more fervently, reflecting on divinity of your very self and nature, serving, and surrounding yourself with the simple things you, YOU!, just love snaps you back to what wonder and joy each day is. No one is quite like you and your very life is valuable and beautiful and fun too!! So I'm back!! And if you read this or not, that's great, but I'm full of love for life and blessings and moments of meditation that teach!!! That song from Le Mis gets stuck in my head and I just sing it at the top of my lungs "A Heart Full of Love!!" That's my choice and when the weird sometimes rolls around (and maybe it's me or hormones or multiple personality or... oh boy who knows), I know how to better kick it and just be positively me no matter what!!

Great thoughts Mari! Thanks for sharing! :)
I just love you. Can't wait to "share our feelings" in person. You're wonderful, sis!
Hey Josh! How was Maine?
I loved your thoughts Mari! I was getting the chills all over when I read it and then they'd go away and then I'd get them back:). Thanks for opening up and sharing your insights. I know exactly what you mean about how as we go through life we can always come back to that LOVE and that peace within ourselves!! I also love the epiphinies in life that come here and there- they make life so meaningful and understandable. I like seeing blogs with events too, but I also do love it when people teach me something on their blogs here and there and I go away with something to think about. Thanks for doing that for me today!
Very deep, Mari. What was it that made your love of life go spiraling out of control? Do we need to have a chat session on the phone? I'd like to know how this all came about and what exactly you were talking about.
This is one of the reasons I adore you so much! This post made my all time top 10 blog post list... (at least it would if I really had one). I keep telling Melinda that she has a real talent for putting thoughts into words, it's like poetry to me. It must run in the family. I think you two should try publishing a book with M&M thoughts and life lessons. You'd probably get close to rich and of course because it's MY idea, you could share the wealth with dear old Autie Shan. I wonder where you get the tendency to ramble from.... :)
Mari! That was a handful of goodness! haha. I enjoyed reading that and getting a deeper look into your mind! You talented girl you!!
I love your blog! We have one now too. It's kjarboys.blogspot.com--see you this weekend!
MARI!!! Oh my gosh I can't believe that I found your blog! I haven't talked to you FOREVER! This is Michelle Hansen (Christensen)...you know your favorite EFY counselor friend? It looks like you are doing great and that you are SO happy! I am glad I found you so now we can keep in touch!
Hey kjars, ya know we aren't that far away, if you guys ever want to do something let us know and we can get together. We'll see you at the party!
