Things i've Learned From Surgery

I've had a lot of time over the weekend to ponder many things about life. Here are some of the things i've learned:

The Sex Appeal of Scruff changes at the point of full beard.

Drugs = misreable, undesirable migraines

Another year went bye that i was not nominated for grammy :(

Sweats become part of your body went you don't take then off after three days

My love for asia is apparent in my yellow cheeks

No body likes not brushing their teeth for 5 days

No but in all serious there is something that struck me last night that was kinda of heavy and i wanted to share it with you. I have been stuck in the house since Thursday, creating a severe case of Cabin Fever. Combination of this and Drugs i have had some serious migraines and constant form of anxiety. I 'm talking about being so anxiousness at times i have to just pace around the house because i felt like i was going to lose my mind. I felt scared that i was going mad, a sort of insanity had come over me.

Last night i stepped out side to get some fresh air. I was a beautiful night that i hope others got to enjoy. Like 50 degrees, cool with snow on the ground, it was so refreshing. Well i came to realize that the main reason for my anxiety was because i was relaxing. Yea, simple sit at home, don't do anything, watch some tv, eat ice cream relaxing. Most people would kill for the opportunity to do something like this but i really don't think that is the case.

Most of us americans don't know how to relax and take time out from our busy schedules. Now i'm not saying that all of 3 Million people are hard workers (we know that is not the case) and i think most can agree i work pretty hard but i think the majority of our culture is more BUSY than it is hard at work. We always have something to do, something to occupy your time. We don't know how to have a vacation. Ever been on cruise? You don't sit around and do nothing, the day is filled with activities, shows, special food events, shopping deals, games etc EVERY HOUR. Us american don't know how to relax.

I'm concerned for myself that i couldn't sit at home with out being anxious and not sit still. So i want everyone to be aware of the heticness in your life and try and slow down. Enjoy a up of tea ( coffee) take a walk in the park, take some deep breathes, listen to a cd all the way through, set aside at least one night a week to be free from structure. Lets enjoy this life we live and not just try and get by. Sit down and DON'T get up even for the phone, or the door, or your mom (ok maybe) .

Trying to live the life
