Chasing the ball and eating elephants

When everything seems daunting and you can no longer see the ball you are supposed to be on, keep in mind that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

tea and books

Well, today is another pretty day, it was blustery this morning, but now it so nice.

Pretty days never cease to make me feel better.

So, I have decided that my dream is to open a beautiful old world (NOT COUNTRY) tea shop with many rooms, each holding a different theme such as books, or art work, lotions and bath products, georgous and unique tea pots and accesories, jars and jars of my own tea blends. I will serve pastries and gourmet deceltables and have rich reading rooms in which to get lost in a classic novel while sipping a delicious Oolong with peach and ginger, or a malty assam, or maybe even darjeeling. This would be perfect if it could be inside a Victorian building with hammered tin or copper ceilings and wood floors and lots of rich colored fabrics.

So why am I majoring in Political Science again?
Please remind me, because today I just want to read in my very own tea shop.

Oh look- my new favorite quote by my FAVORITE author.

Overwhelmed

Right now I am beyond stressed, I am truly overwhelmed. I read my last post to try to regain the peace I have been experiencing, but it was in vain. I am most concerned that it is not humanly possible to complete all that will be asked of me from now until summer and do a good job with it all. In my desperate attempt to recapture Gestalt perspective, I was able to have sound enough mind to seek the Scriptures... source of life. Here is what I found:

Luke 12: 25 -26 "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"

Matthew 6:33-35 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. "

they are verses that I already knew, but somehow, each time i revisit them is like a new peaceful revelation.

I am still stressed and probably will be for ...oh... the rest of my life..., but now I am just whelmed. [10 things i hate about you]

Word of the Wise: Do not under any circumstances take Comm 3 and Political Science Research Methods in the same semester [on top of other classes, work, a social life... maybe not any more... , and whatever] it is detrimental to your health.


Oh and for Carin and other verbose friends of mine... my new word is licentiousness ! - used in my popular culture paper... a lot of fun!!! :)
