Being that my blog is titled "random musings", it should come as no surprise that I have been musing a lot lately. The lingering effects of the accident dictate that I spend more time resting and "musing" than I have in the past. For a couple of weeks my musings were more vague - more trying to put together thoughts that made sense to anyone besides my drug addled self. Now, I'm able to muse a with a bit more clarity. And in my thoughts often is my giving up laziness for lent. I've spent a great deal of time pondering...

Here's my realizations so far. I'm a careless person. Not with my family, nor really with my belongings - but with relationships in general. I am careless with the preciousness of relationship. With friends, with neighbours, with people in general. So a big part of my anti-laziness is learning to value relationships, and putting effort into people. I've been baking for people - just saying thanks for their kindness. I'm making effort to phone (something I NEVER do) people just to say "hi, it's been awhile". I want the people that cross my path to realize that I really do care - and even more - that I need them. I'm picking up some email communication that I've just been lazy about. And I'm trying to connect outside my comfort zone.

Now my 'laziness for lent' is about more than just relationships - but for me, giving time to building relationship is hard. Very hard. But it's also important. And after the overwhelming love and support I've experienced in the last month - I'm willing to work at the important and ignore the mundane.
