First Thoughts

I have always been one to think. Contrary to my actions at times; my ability to sit down think, have conversations amongst others and in my own brain are valuable to me.

The ability to slow down is one I need to continue to grow, cultivate and explore. I love being able to look into my thoughts and as I remember to look to the opinions of others I care about and see how their lives are going I figured I would love to continue conversations.

Conversations are the basis of growth to me. They are what extend thought from my ears to my brain and heart. A simple conversation will engage me far beyond the normal scope of activity and busyness, it will lead to a searching, and a finding out about myself and others.

I have found the need to have conversations with myself just as important in growth, but how often do I shy away because I know that truth will be revealed. It will often not be a pretty, rosy, alls well truth. Yet it is a truth that challenges, shapes and grows me. Which I must say is pretty sweet.

Feel free to join me in my conversations, I welcome input and the challenges that continue from an activity that is not mindless but mindFULL. I will be real, unashamed and most likely far to hard on myself, but the idea is to grow. I know that help from others, every little addition will make me into more of the man I want to be.

-Until the next thoughts run their course-
