I don’t know if I don’t understand whats happening or if all i understand has already happened.

to learn something new. it was how to take a picture of someone. a skill i did not think i needed to know, but when you try to impress your wife, or want nice images, in todays age of mass photography, it helps to get the angle right.

so many things can be improved upon, each area of skills has a depth like a canyon. to want to improve is a basic element of development. and if we are not going forward, then we are sliding backwards.

as we focus on one thing, we forget another. tend to the design details too much and you will miss the bigger picture. focus too much on your health and you might never think of your happiness and what it is you actually like. there some major components to life, and they are all equally important. 
1-your health
2-your family (their health and happiness)
business and your finances 
4-social and your hobbies
5-rest and relaxation
6-spiritual growth
spend too much time and ignore the others and an imbalance appears. a difficult part is you will automatically be good at one thing while having weaknesses in the other. it is in those areas, where you do not exceed, that you will require the most work. but those are the areas we tend to avoid, due to the fact that we are not good at them. 
a group of cosplay girls i ran into at a home fair over the weekend. 
and so it goes. another weekend where i stumbled along, made mistakes but also made some strides. most of this time feels wasted. uneventful, unplanned and unscripted. just another day at the beach. the waves were not too high, but neither was the water still. at a certain point, life is just that. random moments of insignificance among many. to myself its clear, to others perhaps the same?
I read recently that most people consider themselves more important, luckier and better off then most others. it is a modern made defence mechanism inside us all. it gets us out of bed, into the office and allows us to function well as a group. when we have something to lose we are better behaved, better citizens and function in groups better. even if that better is simply hope it is enough. like nothing going drastically wrong in a day, it is enough. perhaps something great will happen in the future, perhaps when we leave. just the idea is enough for us to put that next step forward, even if we know we are going in circles.
