Levitating Thoughts

---

Financial difficulties seem to be the theme at the moment. I have no work and income to speak of, but I remain hopeful. Hopeful because I know that everyday there are opportunities to make it better.

Today, I met up briefly with Johnny for lunch. Johnny’s one of my oldest friends, and his life is not exactly what he wanted it to be at the moment. I can relate – we all can. Truth is we’re all searching, and looking ahead. People in general are very occupied by their futures – which is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it’s not hindering right?

I also met up with my cousin. Without putting too much of his business out there, he too is facing financial difficulties. He’s also in a rut, but [this might be tooting my own horn here] I think my homecoming has lightened his mood. He’s not too weighed down by his burdens – that’s what hopeful does. It lifts you up… I think if I master that feeling I will be able to levitate myself [no, not literally in the physical sense, at least not in public]. Sometimes just being there makes a difference.

Another biggie… LSATs. I signed up for a prep class today. I’m nervous that the Kaplan instructor’s teaching styles conflict with my learning needs. Still, I’m thinking the glass is half full. It seems that my schedule is meant to revolve around normal work hours… that lends it self to solving previously mentioned difficulties.

And lastly, I’m hopeful that whatever tomorrow throws at me, I’ll land on my feet. I have great survival skills [owing much thanks to my genetic makeup, i.e. my parents, and the rest to what I learned from all the personal struggles I have witnessed my loved ones going through in my lifetime]. To today, I see similar struggles that we all deal with, but it says something that we’re all still here. We’re doing something right… fighting the good fight right? It’s good to know that we’re all here for each other no matter what right? At the end of the day, that’s a hopeful thought.
