Task 10: Live in the Present.

I have a hard time with this on a daily basis. I have the "what can i do next mentality..", which sounds good but in actuality it makes it so you never slow down, you never think, you never really know what you want. You just hope that you want to do that in 3 weeks...
In high school and college i felt like living in the present was all i did and i was dang good at. I didn't really care too much about how much i could do in a day, a week or a year. It was more about enjoying where i was at the moment and enjoying those moments as much as i could.
So when i went to visit my old high school bff, the one and only meghann ackerman, i kind of felt like i got a piece of that back even if it was just for a day. We went to Raleigh (the home of the infamous and amazing wolfpack) and for old times sake we had a Scream reunion with the opening of Scream 4. (p.s. love love loved it...) We ate some dinner, we watched a movie, we walked around Barnes and Noble. I didn't feel like i had to work out that day, or clean something or read 50 pages of some smart book (ok that doesn't happen that much but it could.) The next day, we slept in, we decided what the hey lets go to the farmers market, and then went and ate some good ole NC BBQ and just kind of chilled out (ps the sweet tea was amazing). All in all, i didn't really care what time it was...I just wanted to be in the moment. I'm hoping i can do this more often. Summer usually helps out a bit.


Cooper's BBQ, dang good...but they served real pig skins with their hush puppies, and i might have been kind of scared...

Task 11: Revel in the Kindness of Others...this should be easy...
