Blogging Around 5.4.11

First I commented on Katie's blog about the connection between challenging the status quo and happiness. She said she learned to take a step back from her life activities and realize what makes her happy. Then she changed what she did in order to be happy. I Responded with:

This is definitely true with me too Katie. I get so absorbed in what I do and just go along with it and it is kinda blah, but then you take a step back and realize what could make that moment even more special for you or the people you are with, it makes a difference in you satisfaction. Like if we look back in 50 years at our lives we want to remember what we did and we want to know that we were happy back then. This is a great connection that made me think about my own life and to really realize what needs improvement for satisfaction. Good Job Katie.

Then I commented on Kathryn's about the Do You Mind questions we do in class. She has learned a lot from herself and other in the class because of these questions. And it opens up new ways to think about the questions given. I said:

I totally agree with you Kathryn. Do you mind questions are great because they make you realize so much about yourself because you can be totally honest and no one can judge you and you do not even need to tell anyone your thoughts. The sharing part is great too, you can find out and absorb the way others around you might see a question differently than you that you might have passed over. DYM questions are good to get to know others and yourself more deeply and teach you things like living in the moment and realizing what is going on around you in the world.
