I've been sleeping better, lately. I'm thirsty. That's an easy one to fix.

The rainbow needs polishing
I have the crud kicking in
I'm here at work pulling an overnight with much on the brain
and I have been appointed the keeper of the logs

I need 8am to be here like 5 minutes ago

Keeping focused on disconnecting the heart from the mouth and letting go. Savoring my own feelings privately. Staying open to joy and space to nurture.

A hot bath... yep I need one of those... candles and oil that smells good.

My mind is very....very evil to me...
Very

waking up in hys arms ~ knowing hys strength fullfills me ~ hys someone I can look up too ~ never loosing hys stare ~ hy appreciates .... I melt into hym ~ hy leads us ~ I love you ~~ (((( U ))))

I should go to the hardware store today... for some shelving brackets, to look for the Christmas things my mom wants... and... well... just because I love the hardware store...

Also, I should buy a few powerball tickets today... *nods*

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was
Full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full..

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed..

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car..

The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put
The sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children.

Spend time with your parents.

Visit with grandparents.

Take your spouse out to dinner.

Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.

The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Decisions...Decisions...Decisions.

....And that incredible moon last night...:moonstars:

I had a job interview yesterday. It was my first in over 8 years, so it was kinda weird. I think I was too stiff, lol. I am normally a very easy going person, but I was nervous. I really am not that excited about the job (staff interpreter position in a school district) because when I applied, they told me it was a 4 hour position, but now they upped it to 6 hours. I love working for myself but having steady income and benefits (which I have not had in 4 years) is sooo important. It also is the highest paying school district job in the county and right near my home. I can still do my freelancing at night too. We will see if I get a call back, and then weigh my options. :)

I am SO sorry. My heart goes out to you. :(
