We have talked about tangible things that we carry. Now, let's dig a little deeper. Think about the things you carry that are not tangible. List two of these things and assign a weight to them.

Okay - I am trying to see if this works. A non tangible thing that I carry is that I worry about my dad. He is getting older and I wonder what will happen if he gets sick, who will take care of him, when he will retire and what he will do.
Ok, here it goes... Tangible there is my French Horn mouthpiece. it isnt heavy at all, so I guess that the weight would be considered as light. I have it almost allways in my purse, because I have a French Horn at home that I practice on.
As for intangible- there is my stress. I'm always stressed, sometimes I get so stresed that I literally make myself sick. I stress over everything: Music, time, Family, Chores, College, School, friends, everything. Life gets busy, and I get stressed. I'm probably going to have stress wrinkles when i'm older, but hey, there's always botox(just kidding)! So I would say that this is a heavy weight that never goes away. Only rarely does it go away when i meditate or do yoga. Wow I wrote a lot...
A non-tangible thing that I carry is that I worry about gaduation. I have missed so many days I am terrified that I will keep slacking off and not catch up. Another non-tangible thing I carry is I am so worried about HER deploying. She leaves for training in october and in-country december 2nd. What is it gonna be like for her over there? Will she be okay? Will I be okay with out her here with me? Malori
An intangible thing that I carry with me is the expectations of my family. I always feel if I'm not the best on the field, then its not good enough. A constant pressure to run faster, play harder, and score more. Another thing that I carry with me is my sense of humor. That is what helps me with the pressure; it helps keep the mood light and not so serious.
i wanted to do this early so i don't forget.... a non tangible thing that i carry around would have to be the constant worry of my nephew dylan. He lives with his mother and she's not the most reliable person, she moves almost every month, and some times we can't even get ahold of her to see Dylan. So i never know where he is, what's happening to him and if he's okay, he's been in the hospital quite a few time for asma attacks because she never takes care of him untill it's too late.
were suppose to out our names on her right? Jennifer DeHart
Wow - I must say that I am impressed so far with the comments. You seem more open in this type of format than in the classroom. Your intangibles thus far are very interesting. Not many of you are assigning weight, but I think it goes without saying that the intangibles are usually our heaviest. Good job so far!
The idea that I have to grow up adngo to college. The thought that the easy life of high school is over is constently in my thoughts. I know what i want to do and who I want to be. But, it is a scary idea.
I also carry an mp3 player with me, just in case i need to escape. music helps me dround out what is goin on around me. It is the most important thing i have, it is my get away.
I forgot that we needed two non-tangible things....I guess it would have to be how to my friends i can be a conplete door mat or a pushover, i'm really bad when it comes to peer pressure i have a hard time saying no to someone or backing myself up unless i'm really passionate about something. I hate it when people are mad at me which causes my friends to take advantage of me. This is a huge burdan for me I wish i could stay strong and stand up for my self but i don't know if i can say no
Well a non-tangible thing that i always worry about is what my future holds. Honestly, you never know when your time will come. Therefore, you should live each day like it's your last. As for a weight on this i would say that it is pretty heavey. My biggest fear is not knowing what is going to happen to me as a person. In life we make choices that can alter the way our life's goes. However, my Dad says," Treat other's how you want to be treated, and live each day like it's your last and life will be enjoyable!"
Something i carry is that i might not graduate and that makes me really stressed out because my family is pressuring me more and more about college and i just want to take it one step at a time.
Another Intangible i carry is worriness. I worry about my life in 10 or 15 years. I don't know if i will be living with my parents or have a family of my own. I hope that if i again take it one day at a time and see where the future has in store for me.
P.S. WHERE MY PEEPS!!!!!!!

I am just plain awesome and another intangible for me would be graduating with the class of 08. If I dont graduate then i would have to find a place to live immediatly so thats would be kind of important.
A none tangible thing that i carry is that I wonder why mom does the things that she does to my brothers and me. Another none tangible thing is that i worry about my grandma she is sick, the doctors think she may have cancer like her dad did but the do not know yet.
Something that I carry that is tangible that I carry is my ipod. I needed that especially the past two days for map testing days.
Something that I carry that is intangible is stress. I am constantly worried about school and getting ready for college, and also trying to make everyone in my life happy. Life gets very busy very fast. Sometimes I spread myself to thin and I do to much just to make everyone happy.
The intangible things that I carry would be my parents expectations that they have set for me, this is very little weight for me. Another thing that would be intangible to me would be the expectations that I have set for myself, and the goals that I want to achieve. This would be moderate weight on me because I have set fairly high expectations for myself.
Something that is non tangible that I contantly carry around is my hope of becoming famous even though it's highly improbable. It's something I've wanted since I was little and with years it's grown more and more. I've taken more steps to have it become lighter such as talking to TV producers but after the rush wears off from talking the them the weight of carrying this hope grows more and more, becoming larger after each rush.
Another thing that is non tangible that I carry is the pressure of succeeding and trying to make evertying perfect. After a while you just don't want to care anymore.
Both are extremely heavy things that I carry and I've accepted that.
One thing that I carry that I believe is heavy to me is the fact that my cousin is in the Army. His shoulder is messed up and the doctors that look at him aren't doing anything to help his recovery so he can start training. The doctors will not give him leave because his shoulder hasn't gotten better. The irony of the situation. I miss him and hope he gets to come home soon. - Chris Austin
Some things I worry about, are my mom. She works two jobs just to help me pay for my car, and to pay for a lawyer. Another thing I worry about is seeing my dad again, after all the stuff I've been through these past couple of months, I refuse to see him. I've been through so much pain. Everytime I'm out in Lee's Summit I worry that I'm going to run into him.
One tangible thing that I carry would be my iPod. I always use it when I go running or working out. It is very light weight and easy to use. It also serves as a motivational purpose. An intangible thing that I carry would be concentration or self motivation. Like my iPod, I also carry this around when doing some form of excercise. I need to be able to concentrate and push myself the extra couple steps to complete things to the best of my ability. I would say the weight is heavy. Without it, I may not improve in some areas.
One non-tangible thing that I carry with me is worry. I worry about everything from from whether I remembered to do that homework assignment the night before to am I coming down with a deadly illness. (I really should stop watching discorvery health)I would weigh this as pretty heavy. Another non- tangible thing is fear for the future because I just don't know what to expect. We are going to be forced out into the world and be all on are own. I would weight this as very heavy it is something I think about everyday. Amanda Hopwood
Intagible things that I carry are my grandmothers helth, and the Missouri Constitution Test. My grandmothers been under the weather and I'm concerned about her. I have yet to take the constitution test so that is a burden too. I weigh both of them pretty high.
One intangible thing that I carry is I worry about my mom. I know my mom is young but she has a lot of health problems and she does some things I think are stupid. I just worry about what will happen if she gets sick again, will she come out of it, will I lose her this time? It gets pretty scary. Another thing that I constantly worry about now is having a healthy baby. I didnt make all the right choices at first before I knew I was pregnant and I hope that doesn't effect my child. I worry about weather or not they will have everything they need, can I give that to them? Will I be a good mother? Will they love me? Everything and every decision I make from here on out does not just effect me, it effects another human being. I think I can do it but sometimes I just do not feel ready for this resonsibility. Brittani
The thing that i carry with me everyday is the memories of loved ones that have passed on. I have lost many loved ones in my short life of 18 years. It is the worst feeling in the world losing someone you love but the memories last forever.
The heaviest thing that I carry is love for my little brother. He is 8 and looks up to me like I am best person in the world. Because we are both foster kids he is the only blood family I see regularly so he means a lot to me. The next thing is my religion I do not force it on anyone but I will inform you of the gospel if I feel I need to or if you ask. ---Steven W Pollard

i like it. even though we dont have very much time left in the year, it would be cool to do this more

Mrs. Wiegers, the one that I just posted, i forgot to put my name. It was done by Chris Booth, the one about life. Thanks!
