*Live for Myself*

As I'm listening to Ken Oak on a surprisingly cool Sunday morning in the middle of July, I realize that I've come to appreciate the simple pleasure of personal downtime. I don't mean the kind of downtime that you normally use for laundry or to paybills, I'm referring instead to self reflection. I've never been one to really slow down and focus on anything, my mother has called me a daydreamer for as long as I can remember. Given the pace of the modern electronic world, sometimes it's healthy to slow down and take a moment to discover and delve deeper into the nuances that you would normally miss.

Perhaps the true challenge of life is to recognize and appreciate what you already have. For some of us, that has proven to be a very difficult task indeed.
