11.28.10 Outfit: Hurry Up and Wait

HI. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I know I did. Did you eat too much like me? I had to get my butt back to the gym tonight.

I actually had a lot on my mind this weekend, mainly about waiting, and not rushing "life." It's a concept that's been stuck in my head for awhile. To me, when someone says you should "enjoy today" and "not worry about tommorow" those kind of phrases seems kind of touchy-feeling abstract to my very realistic and logical  brain. So I've been thinking about all the ways that I do worry about tommorow.

Such as:

In my brain, I've already graduated from college, rather than dwelling on all the good and useful information I'm learning now.

Instead of being glad for the great job that I have now, I dream of the perfect job that I will have someday.

I'm always visualzing outfits that are fantastic, but are made of pieces that I don't own, but hopefully someday will.

I'm going to be getting a new camera for Christmas and I want it NOW, rather than enjoying the good little camera that my husband and I first bought with our wedding money.

Just little things like that. Anyone else know what I mean? Granted, there's nothing wrong with dreaming, but I've done so much of it lately that it's made me discontent with the things I do have.

So I spent my weekend trying to be more content with the blessings that God has given me, rather than focusing on the things that I don't have. Or "living in the present", if you will. It's definitely working, and sometimes it's just better to be content, yes?

Anyway, here's my simple Sunday outfit:
Jeans: Gap
Shirt: J-Crew
Flats: Payless

P.S. I totally didn't mean to look so angry in this picture! Eeps!

This time, I will actually see you Wednesday.
