neuroscience is fascinating and my school based counselor also does mindfulness for ap students, but she hasn’t started teaching it yet. i think it would be cool to start a practice on my own, do you have any ideas on any techniques? i also enjoy doing yoga. i also find it cool to walk in the rain and also i enjoy playing in the snow. i think snow, the way it blankets everything in a winter wonderland and me going ice-skating is fun. this reminds me of what thoreau wrote “just because you have castles in the air doesn’t mean your work has to be lost, just build the foundations under those castles. trust the process of life and the universe will feel like it is being handed to you since you are at peace with yourself.” sometimes i feel like i’m not sure how to build the foundations under the goals i have in my visions and i often doubt myself. every time i see someone else who seems better than me athletically and intelligently, i wish i were them. andrew seems so much smarter than i am in field biology and country living that sometimes i feel so inadequate. i am better at biology and science is my favorite subject, but compared to andrew who seems like a rocket scientist at times, i just feel like i’m just wandering around with no set path in life. dave and i both share an interest in nature and also biology esp. first aid. we are both learning lots from andrew such as how certain plants have different toxins or electrical circuits or how to code on the computer or on paper.
