Busywork makes me more tired than exercise

12/18/10

Busywork makes me more tired than exercise. I think it’s because the blood isn’t circulating through the body. They say things in motion stay in motion and things at rest stay at rest. What makes humans so special is that thing called the will. Our ideas create actions which lead to motion. Therefore positive ideas and thoughts lead to positive actions. Conversely negative thoughts and ideas lead to negative actions. But rest assured, the universe has its own police in this thing called karma. It’s like a cosmic Santa Clause.

I think most of us know how it feels to be separated from a loved one. For me, when I was separated from my son, it felt like I was being suffocated. During that period of heartache, I dwelled upon how our time apart was affecting him. I knew there was no way it could be easy. A son needs his daddy. My son needed the benefits of my years. After all, every kid learns the important things in life from their parents. Despite the distance separating me from my son, I made it my mission to keep my presence strong in his life. I wanted to pass certain lessons and values to him. Most of all, I wanted him to know that I love him, that I will always love him. Because of this commitment to being present in his life, I began writing little stories.
