Hey gang, Fro here! I’ve been reflecting on some things and as I pondered on things I thought to myself, every now and then we need to check ourselves. Sometimes we can get so caught up that we don’t stop to question “what am I doing and why?” I think sometimes we have good intentions and it doesn’t always play out that way. Sometimes what we think is right is all good when in reality it can be destructive. Perhaps this is why we continue to endure some of the same cycles in life. Eh, only time, experience, and wisdom will tell us that. Anyways, I just challenge everyone, myself included, to really see what’s going on internal and address the issues at hand. I’m sure we can all be better and should be open to constructive criticism. Ponder on that.

Get out your feelings!
Hey gang, Fro here. I realize that we have been some time with out giving you guys something to read up on! It has been an interesting past few months! I have completed my first year of graduate school! woot woot! go me! It was not easy last semester but, we have come out on the other side! Anyways enough about me on to share some thoughts!
You ever experience a time or a situation where you really had something on your mind but you never expressed it? Some people choose not to because they are scared, they are uncertain of their feelings, or maybe even afraid of another person’s reaction. Lately, I have been dealing with this issue personally. From what I have been experiencing I want to encourage anyone out there to get things off your chest! Now don’t you all go out saying “Fro said just get it off!” There is a way to do everything. I especially think you should take time to consider your words and your demeanor when talking your feelings over with another person. I say this because what I have learned from these experiences has shown me that my feelings tend to eat me alive, left unchecked. Chances are, I’m probably not the only one who gets this way. It can be very difficult, especially if you have something hard to say. However, you need to get out your feelings! lol ponder on that.
Friends, how many of us have them?
I was talking with a friend of mine today and she said to me “you shouldn’t treat your old friends badly for the sake of new ones” As I marinated on that, I thought to myself I have done this to some degree. I am not saying I am proud of it, but I am admitted that it occurred. One of my other good friends, best friend in fact, said to me that every time I am REALLY into a guy, she can expect that I will spend less time hanging out with her. She says this is just how I am and have always been that way. In coming to terms with that realization, I don’t want to be the person who forgets about the ones who were there before the guys. I also wouldn’t want to be the one forgotten if it were reverse. All in all we may say that we wouldn’t do such things but our actions always prove what we are really saying. I can’t speak for anyone else, but as for me, I don’t want to sacrifice my friends or treat them wrong for the sake of new people. As was also said to me “we make time for things that are important”, this is no different. I encourage myself, as well as, everyone who happens to read this to take time to be with all of your friends. Of course that said within reason. Sometimes we can’t always be available but we should never be outright neglectful. Ponder on that.
Figure it out
As I went through my day today, I kept hearing the saying “you make time for what’s important”. I kept thinking on that and came to the realization that sometimes I have a tendency to make too much time for some things and not enough time for others. So as I let that sink in and start to deal with some things personally, I encourage everyone to have a self check. Are you letting some things become too important? Is there something that you should or want to devote more time to? Spirituality? School? Friends? Family? Ponder on that.

You attract what your attracted to. Ponder on that.
healing
Today when i checked my twitter I saw a post that i thought was really great. It basically said not dealing with hurt is like not treating an internal bullet wound…eventually you will bleed out. I say that to say..it is really important to check the hurts that we may encounter in our lives. Avoidance I REPEAT.. avoidance is not healthy. It will only create an angrier, isolated, lost, version of your real self! It is amazing that some people leave the hurt unchecked so long that they don’t even know where to begin to start the process! I am sure we are all guilty of this in some fashion or another. Sometimes we cause ourselves to miss out on good things and people because we don’t check the hurt. We can end up pushing away the very thing or person that is reaching out to us. So my encouragement for the day….don’t numb the pain…express it!
Life is short
As i reflect on the recent shooting about Sandy, I am deeply saddened. It hurts my heart that little innocent children’s lives were lost. I know many people wonder if they would have done something different in that day, would the outcome have changed? My heart goes out to the parents who are grieving and struggling to process that they will not have gifts to share this holiday season with their children, that they will not attend a first play, dance, or their child’s first sporting event. We truly never know when we will loose someone. We should not only cherish others but cherish the time we have on this earth. Let your loved one know you love them today!
life
Today I learned that someone i used to work with passed away. I was shocked as i thought back to all the times we spent together. Sometimes she got on my nerves but i could understand it. She was sick and needed more help then most. Now that i reflect back on this it forces me to thank God for my life. It can be gone before we know it. With that being said, we should live everyday with purpose. We shouldn’t just exist but we should really do something that would leave a legacy. I challenge not just myself but everyone to MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT! We know not the day nor the hour! What will you do starting today?
change
Change is inevitable. Sometimes it’s for the good. Sometimes, for the worse. Change is sometimes feared. It represents the unknown and can threaten our very being. Change brings about something new and that challenges us to come away from the familiar. What happens when change affects us to our very soul? How does one deal with such changes? What happens when we don’t want to accept change? These are things we should think on. The only thing in the world that is constant is change and we never know when it will come to us.
